insert a coma.
i’m up to 70lbs at 3sets of 12 now, wich is sadly half my body weight.
might read a little better without the now as well.
but i still don’t see why you couldnt manage to catch the drift. you must be as ****ing stupid as i am.
im not as experienced as most in this forum but the question i have to ask, from the posts i have read and from what i understand speed in martial arts is a key factor with it comes power, but power and speed is subject to loss due to poor fluidity,timing and technique as mentioned previously. And since most are studying martial arts and not physics wouldnt it be more logical and easier to train co-ordination and technique than training solely on speed and trying to be like water???
Does anyone know of training techniuqes to improve co-ordination ???
Julien!
OK man, follow the step by step instructions for a wrist-winder.
-
Take a dumbell pole, or anything like a broom handle in thickness. It should be about 20" long max.
-
Get some STRONG string and take about 2 metres of it. Make a loop and tie it onto the middle of the bar, and wind around a lot of slack.
-
Add some wights to the bottom [securely]
-
Now stand up, with the weights on the floor, the bar in your hands and the string slack. Now wind the bar round till you pull the weight up to the top. Both ways of curl [i.e. The bar will rotate opposite]
Sound easy enough?
p=mv is incorrect. It’s actually p=fv.
But that’s immaterial.
Physics DOES describe a punch. It will describe any kind of movement, forces involved, elasticity and inelasticity, etc. You just have to take the measurements–and generally speaking such things vary from person to person. The equation would be so general as to be completely useless to all of us, and far too complicated in any event. But it COULD be done.
HOW the body moves is a function of kinesiology, etc.
And what shooter said–assuming proper technique, timing and structure, speed=power. But you have to go through a lot of proper repetitions to get to proper technique, timing and structure 
Now about the all tai chi part… 
Strictly speaking, all those equations are invalid for this discussion because they all refer to vector motion, which doesn’t really occur in real life :D.
i never stated any, so i guess i rock
actually, i am quite smart… IQ of 133
i just didn’t know what u were talking about hehe
Gee, not only are you smart but you are humble too! :rolleyes:
i don’t care about your iq, there wasn’t much to understand, he said “these are forearm exercises” and then proceeded to describe them, for YOUR benefit, and you didn’t even say thank you.
meh, i just prefer not to be thought stupid
and i’m 15 so i’m a ‘dang-nab-no-mannered-ruffian’
hehe
oh and thank u 
There can be great value in letting people think you are stupid.
The value of speed depends on the type I guess. Crystal meth is the most popular one with ravers and teens, etc., So that should get the most valueable. So if you want to deal I suggest crystal meths. But I’m do have any experience in this so maybe the other members can help you.
in which universe?

MP: I’m sorry but you’re incorrect and I’m 99.9999999999999999999% on point (there are no absolutes). When I say power I mean Kinetic Energy which is the “power” we’re talking about. The equation I gave you guys is Kinetic Energy equals one-half the mass of the “matter” in question x the velocity of the said matter, squared. Basic Newtonian Physics. Where do you get the “f” variable? Is that some English symbol used to replace the “mass” portion of the orthodox equation? Maybe you’re getting something “twisted”.
The Other Guy: I know the vector comment was totally facetious, so I won’t comment on that, hahaha.
This is another fine example of how a web forum can be manipulated by a 15 year old with an IQ of 133 (:rolleyes:yeah right ).
And yes, your age does kind of disqualify you as some sort of “expert”. What, if any, real experience can you have at 15 besides how to groom that pubic mustash? Wait, don’t tell me, you’ve had many life and death altercations in Junior high.
Reading the assumptions of the ill informed is fun to a point but it does get boring fast.
Please go and come back when you have something other than second hand experience.
Flame on… :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
So you want to build wrist strenght ehy?
Try working the staff, iron staff, Monk Spade, Kwan Do, Broad sword, straight sword, or any other assortment of traditional weapons.
Nothing builds wrist strength like traditional weapons training, and it’s really cool to boot!!!
How important is speed? I dunno. How would YOU like to be the guy who said, “I almost hit him first.”??-usually this is said from the hospital bed.
Speed in combat is of primary importance, but in sparring speed can hinder your development of advanced technique. It can be too easy to try to make a poorly executed move work just by speeding it up. If you can land deliberate strikes with a good but not exaggerated cadance, when you do apply you speed and power your will have a much more powerful set of weapons and counters.
" I almost hit him first. " I was laughing so hard I was crying!
Kinetic energy isn’t power.
Power is work per unit time.
Work is expressed as Force by Distance.
Since Power is work per unit time, the equation is basically (Force * Distance)/Time.
If I redistribute my parentheses, then it’s (Force)*(Distance/Time)
The definition of Velocity is Distance/Time.
Consequently, power= (Force) * Velocity.
Dimensional analysis will show that the units of expression are different. In kg/m/s:
Power= (kg*m^2)/(s^3)
Whereas Kinetic Energy is expressed by (kg*m^2)/(s^2)
Unlike “chi,” or “energy flow,” or “internal,” or “external,” the language of physics is rather precise, and you can’t substitute one definition for another, just because you feel like it, if those definitions aren’t quantitatively equivalent.
So no, Kinetic Energy isn’t the kind of power you are talking about because, by definition, it’s not power.
Do I understand your point? Yes. But that doesn’t make power and kinetic energy interchangeable.
Besides–I still stand by my point that beyond a gross generalization about an increase in speed being an increase in power (and that increase being generally related by the square of the velocity), this is all way too complicated for us to try and work on–although I don’t think you’re trying to do that, I just want to get away from us going round and round discussing impulse and momentum, elasticity and inelasticity of the impact, etc–the factors involved are too numerous to formulate and discuss on here. Besides which, I don’t think I have the knowledge to factor in everything that needs to be taken into account anyway. Maybe you do. But I’m guessing not.
F, by the way is not a wierd symbol. It’s FORCE, as in mass by acceleration.
How dusty were those books you musta dragged up for that?
Leave it man, this thread is getting borin
