Biomechanics of Human Motion: Applications in the Martial Arts,
Second Edition, explores the biomechanical principles of nine
different forms of martial arts, with specific attention paid to
their anatomical features. Within this examination, Professor Arus
highlights the use of energy and force especially in Kyusho-Jutsu.
Whereas the first edition provided an in-depth explanation of the
Aikido techniques of Kokyu-ryoku, the second edition focusses
specifically on the grabbing and liberation techniques used in
Kyusho-Jutsu. Such an examination stresses the importance of vital
points, "finger manipulation", and their co rresponding emphasis on
energy usage. As Professor Arus details throughout Biomechanics of
Human Motion, Second Edition, knowledge of this form of pressure
point maneuvering is useful in both attack and counterattack
situations, especially since the martial artist's
anatomo-physiological adaptation to effort represents the most
significant development in fighting regimens. The second edition
also includes a discussion of the katana. Professor Arus notes that
defense against the katana is nearly impossible, describing the
three major steps used in Japanese (Ma). It is customary in Aikido
to defend against a wooden sword. By using a wooden sword, an
Aikido Master's demonstration is pre-determined. Techniques to
defend against these demonstrations are discussed throughout the
book. Finally, various attack and defense techniques using pressure
points are also explained in Biomechanics of Human Motion, Second
Edition.
