A Summer of Martial Arts!
Yeah, baby.
Set your work out up,
do it every day,
see if you can learn a whole art in one summer.
That’s the game!
And,
I came across a VERY interesting fact the other day.
And I could kick myself for not having the link for you.
But the essence of the article was this:
If you turn your wrist when punching you break bones in your hand.
If you keep the punch stable,
for instance use a vertical punch,
the bones don’t break in the hands.
Now this guy had done a job of research,
went back through boxing and martial arts
and really backed the idea up.
About twenty or thirty years ago
I made the point with my students,
practice the twisting punch to learn to snap,
then forget it,
don’t do it again,
go to a vertical punch
and use the snapping closure of the hand for your snap.
The reason i said this wasn’t because I noticed broken hands,
it was because logically speaking
if you twist the hand on impact it is unstable
and weight can’t be properly transmitted it.
There are a few twisting punches,
but they are really rare and mystical.
And I hold that mysticism can be cured by understanding the basics.
Just saying.
So,
that’s my two cents for the week.
And,
the book is getting closer,
It’s getting edited,
about 3/4s done,
and I’m really glad I decided to get edited.
I’m learning a lot,
and the book is going to be a LOT cleaner when it is done.
So,
Let’s repeat the obligatory ad from last week…
Blinding Steel!
Because your opponent will probably have a weapon!
Okay, everybody,
summer is around the corner, so start now!
HAVE A GREAT WORK OUT!

BTW
I’ve got nothing but five star reviews on
The Science of Government.
It’s really nothing more than applying matrixing to politics.
Matrixing + Politics = Sanity
I told you matrixing works with anything.
