HOWEVER... the problem he's ignoring is it takes a great deal of energy to get your limbs moving at that speed. So much energy that you'd have to be the size of a tank to do it properly which negates the whole "80 lbs woman can do it" argument.
- This is only so, IF you are using the frequently taught approach.
For example...
1) Tighten all your arm muscles up, and then try to punch a target
as fast as you can.
2) Relax all your muscles. Now repeat the process... and only tighten your muscles
when you fist touches the target.
The results, are that the loose muscles will accelerate Much faster. Maybe 3x faster.
Many people when punching, start out tightening their muscles well before they
are at target impact. This is like putting the brake on, while hitting the gas.
The Bicepts Pull. The Triceps push. You only need the push muscles partially "ON"
to get the arm to rocket forwards. Yet if you turn on the Pull muscle as well... it
will slow your punch considerably.
Yet, when you hit the target, you want to tighten BOTH, to create that firm structure
which allows force to conduct thru without losses from flexing.
Physics works both ways friends, it takes at least as much energy to put an object in motion from a stopped point as it expells when it collides with a stationary object. While you can certainly make your punch more efficient and therefore have it hit harder by proper form and execution, you can't reach near superhuman levels just by "focus" alone.
- Mental Focus was never mentioned nor inferred. While its partially true you need
ability to be aware of, and in control of many areas precisely... as said, focus alone
is not causing the power.
- Also, its not Superhuman. It IS Human force. Its merely pictured as Superhuman,
because most humans do not practice it, let alone understand it.
The problem with most martial arts is they are very much a science of physics, BUT they are also steeped in thousands of years of religious mumbo-jumbo like "chi" and "focus" and don't forget "force". But since that is such a small part of it people often deem it to be science as well since everything else they learned so so rooted in the science of motion.
- Actually, there is insane amount of science in the Chinese arts. However, its
rarely discussed so openly. Its generally spoke of in mystical terms to confuse,
and retain a certain level of secrecy to those who are not "in the know".
- Chinese arts also at times like to be Poetic in descriptions. As said, a concept like
Chi, is vastly misunderstood.
The physics gets balnaced out with your body being torn up from over use.
Actually, Id be interested to know What things you think tear up the body.
As for example, I have no damages to my fist or feet, even though I regularly
punched & kicked solid concrete and steel.
Ive litterally punched and kicked solid targets in the Thousands. Its been
over 10 yrs, and still no sign of damages.
While Im not saying there are may be nothing that could cause damages... Its
usually just people doing something wrong in their training.
You were just held back by silly little things like pain and slef-preservation. I'm sure you could rip your own arm off as well, but I wouldn't reccomend it.
Pain as most people know it.. just about disappears in only a short time in the
arts. The tissues & bones densify. Things that would put the normal
"marshmallow-body" into the hospital, and or in severe agony... are nearly painless,
and cause no real damages.
Ever seen Full Metal Alchemist? All physics questions can be directed towards that show. It's all about equivelent exchange guys. Wink
Im not much into Animae. Nor into phony BS such as those idiots who tell people they
can use their mental Force to stop an attacker. I rely on real physical tactics that
work, and have been tested very well, against aggressive attackers, by myself
personally.
I can tell you that the Scientific community barely understand the capabilities of
the human body... and even with the highest tech sensors, cant quite grasp all the
details. One can clearly see this when watching a show like Human Weapon
(as well as Fight Science, and related shows) ... where they are constantly getting
data and information wrong.
Im no scientist... All I can do is best describe the things felt. As well as to personally
Show by physical demonstration... much like has been done for thousands of years.
The power comes from the last moment of the strike, when the fist has just
struck in deep enough to compact all the tissue... Then the striker convulses his
entire bodies muscles/tissue in a forwards vector. The INSTANT split-second unification
of an 80lb woman, is far more than enough power to take a life. Ever take an 80 lb
sledge hammer to your head? Remember, that on top of an already fast moving
fist (40 feet per sec) , you are adding that 80lbs in a split second by means of
a twitch. The SPEED of a muscular Twitch, might be the equivalent of 200mph.
That factor means that in a time unit of maybe a 100th of a second, 80 lbs of force
was dumped - which is then amplified by its already current 35+mph speed of the
fist+the bodys sudden lurch forwards+additional force if a person is Moving INTO
your strike.
If you looked hard enough, you could probably find someone who took a baseball
bat to the head, and still survived. However, how much energy per split second
was delivered with that strike? A 1000 lbs in a second might sound bad... but its
nothing compared to 1000 lbs in 100th of a second.
Why is that?
Quite simply, because the object you are hitting will immediately disperse forces
you impart upon it. The slower the force dump, the more time is allowed for that
body to absorb and release the energy.
However... If you put so much energy into so little of a time unit... the material
you are striking has little to no ability to absorb it without it tearing apart. You
can thus cause enough power to rupture tissue, blood vessels, etc. You can
cause concussions and permanent brain damages... and of course, complete organ
destruction/failure.
A very simple example can be seen with water. If you lay your hand slowly into
it... it will move around your hand easily. Yet, if you slap it fast, it will become solid, and
sting your hand.
Water does not damage, so its not quite like a flesh target. But things like blood
vessels/vains.. which carry liquid, can react quite similarly. The blood will not compress,
and so the tissue which carries it will pressurize. If there is sufficient pressure, it will
tear or burst. If a blood clot forms, it can cause major problems.
While I have no experience with this... Ive heard that there are some arts which
have very detailed understanding of human anatomy... and when attacking, will
target several key areas in rapid succession. This pattern, may cause the persons
body to lock up, (adrenal? pain overload: brain shuts down functions?) clot in areas, bloodflow then stopping or re-routing... and or bursting. One is called Dim Mak...
but I doubt anyone who knows it for real, exists anymore... and would not teach it
to merely anyone. Anyone who says they know it openly, is more than likely a fraud.
I probably never would have believed it even possible... Had I not learned, developed,
and felt the true power of Fajin. Its power levels are unlike anything you can imagine.
And, I probably wouldnt have believed the power of Fajin...until I started to hear
the stories from people Lee had struck. Lee was all about real combat training, and
didnt mess around... So, his words are taken far more seriously/credibly than that of
anyone else.
