Martial Science, Or...enter The Physics
There is a Martial Science, and it is different than the physics you were taught in school
. Indeed, it is actually opposed to normal science. It goes against the rules of such luminaries as Sir Isaac Newton, who actually is credited with creating modern day technologies.
Sir Isaac discovered gravity, and he made that famous statement: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, if one pushes a table with 100 pounds of force, there will be 100 pounds/force worth of movement from the table. Except, that's not the way it works in the martial arts.
In the martial arts physics, if you strike somebody with thirty pounds of force, the force will be absorbed equally by both bodies. This is to say that if you strike somebody with 100 pounds of force, 50 pounds of force will travel up the arm, and 50 pounds of force will travel into the body being struck. In the beginning, this is what you were taught in school.
So you move your fist faster, leave the fist in contact with the body for a shorter length of time, and something interesting occurs: more force is left in the target body. For instance, 90% (90 pounds will travel into the body being struck, and only 10% (10 pounds) will travel back up the striking limb. This phenomena is, however, still measurable by physics.
What is not measurable is the next stage: what happens when the martial artist relaxes and puts less effort into his technique. Relaxing unbinds the muscles, and, just as sound will not travel through a vacuum, force will not travel into what is relaxed. But we are not talking just relaxed body here, we are talking about the effects of a relaxed mind.
This is an interesting phenomena, that as one relaxes ones mind, and uses less and less effort, more and more impact occurs. The value of the impact cannot be measured, nor can the value of relaxation within the mind (except in the most subjective fashion). But the truism is there: the more relaxed the mind, the more effortless the body, the greater the impact upon the target body.
Eventually, effortlessness becomes intention. Intention is nothing more than the fact of concentrated awareness. And here is where we encounter a higher set of physics. Intention is utilized, nothing can be measured, and the effect is created, and the rule (of this higher physics) is created: A point (of awareness) in a direction has no opposite and equal reaction.
This phenomena, one of awareness being unable to be measured, is railed at by the scientific community: it goes against all the rules, breaks the rules, and unsubstantiates their whole reason for being. Yet, it is fact, and, taken to extremes, can even prove the existence of that great most nebulous of all nebulosities...it can prove the existence of God. Of course, one would have to study the Martial Science, understand the real Martial Art rules, and actually succeed in achieving a sufficiently high enough stage of awareness to understand, and therefore legitimately subscribe to, this thesis.
