"The Physics of the Martial Arts" is not a science book, it's about knowing the why and how things work?. and even more importantly, why it doesn't and how to fix it. It's a book about a business venture that turned into the science and the martial arts. Students and teachers learn the physics of break boards and concrete blocks.

As a former high school science teacher, martial artist, and business owner, I became enthralled with taking my program âThe Physics of the Martial Artsâ into the public school system. My goal was simple; build my martial arts business while teaching my love of the sciences. This book not only chronicles that journey, but it was written as a âhow toâ book for those interested in the art of breaking boards, and concrete blocks. This book is for you, if you are a science teacher who wants to spice up the classroom by using breaking demonstrations to explain Newtonâs 3 laws of Motion, a school owner wanting to improve business, and revenue, or a martial artist, regardless of rank or experience level, who wants to improve his punching and kicking abilities.Anyone who may want to learn more about the incredible power associated with the martial arts.

The Physics of Martial Arts is a comprehensive text which analytically illustrates the effectiveness of martial arts techniques. The author utilizes his extensive martial arts, educational, and professional experiences to dissect why martial arts movements created thousands of years ago are still applicable today. This book is a must for martial arts instructors and students who wish to understand how to scientifically improve their technical skills.

It has been said that a successful martial artist doesn't need size or strength, because "it's all in the technique." It has also been said that the power of a martial artist seems to increase quickly with weight, and the best lightweight fighter in the world will be defeated every time by an unranked heavyweight in a bar brawl. So is it size and physical strength that matters, or is it experience and dedication to correct technique? This book explores the science behind power in the martial arts. Once we understand the principles of physics that apply to balance, body mass in motion, inertia, direction, rotational speed, friction, torque, impulse, and kinetic energy, the need to memorize hundreds of martial arts techniques vanishes. The principles of physics apply to all people at all times regardless of which martial art we study; regardless of whether we are standing, sitting, kneeling, prone, or supine; whether we are big or small, strong or weak. Physics gives us options. Making physics our ally allows us to maximize our power, speed, and endurance and take advantage of whatever position we happen to find ourselves in. This book is supplemented by hundreds of photos, detailed glossaries, summary and review sections, and even quizzes to test yourself on what you've learned and help you gain an edge on an adversary.
