HAPV = Habitual Acts of Physical Violence TS = Tactical Strategies AP = Anatomy & Physiology AS = Applied Science PP = Pedagogical Principles |
In the one-on-one HAPV scenario the classification of application refers to seizing & impacting, any single use and or of combination thereof. | Application principles address the anatomical attack structure, the part of the body used to transfer energy [fist, foot, elbow, etc.] the angle to the structure, its direction and the required power. | When contrasted with the human body the 5 ancient machines provide the fundamental principles with which applications work. | Every *style* of karate [actually every form of empty-handed self-defence] employ these common tools. |
Ability is what you’re capable of doing |
Motivation determines what you do |
Attitude determines how you do it |
