Dynamics, motion, sensation...they are karate's connective tissue
and 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 Movement is
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. As a lifelong
student of martial arts, J. D. Swanson, Ph.D., had searched through
piles of books on form and function. "Stand here, step there" they
said. But where movement was concerned, none went deep enough. No
one was discussing the dynamics the actual feeling of the moves.
Both in print and in live teaching, karate instruction tends to
focus on stances and finishing positions. But dynamics, motion,
sensation...they are karate's connective tissue and they are the
heart of this book. "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."
