Dynamics, motion, and sensation are karate's connective tissueand
they are the heart of this book. As a lifelong student of martial
arts, J. D. Swanson, PhD, had searched through piles of books on
form and function. Stand here, they said. Step there. But where
movement was concerned, not one of them went deep enough. No one
discussed dynamicsthe actual feeling of the moves. Martial
instruction, both in print and in person, tends to focus on stances
and finishing positions. But dynamics, motion, sensation ...they
are karate's connective tissueand they are the heart of this book.
Karate Science: Dynamic Movement will help you understand the
mechanics of the human body. Swanson describes these principles in
incredible detail, drawing on examples from several styles of
karate, as well as aikido, taekwondo, and judo. Whatever your
martial background, applying this knowledge will make your
techniques better, stronger, and faster. *Understand the major
types of techniques, including their outward appearances and
internal feelings.*Master the core principles behind these
feelings.*Learn the biomechanics and dynamics of core movement.
Karate Science: Dynamic Movementis filled with examples, anecdotes,
and beautiful illustrations. Although Shotokan karate is the
author's frame of reference, the principles of human mechanics
translate to all martial styles. This book features *Clear and
insightful explanations of dynamic movement.*Over 100
illustrations.*Profound but accessible analysis of the kihon, or
fundamentals of Shotokan karate. Karate Science: Dynamic Movement
is rooted in the teachings of the masters," Swanson says. This book
nucleates that knowledge, clarifying and distilling the key
principles behind movement dynamics. This is the next evolution of
karate books."
