Newtonian mechanics and Punching

For me, and I speak only of myself, the example presented and its use of formulae, though entertaining, is too limited to be of any real use. When considering any human movement, Theory and Formulae need be considered with much physiological understanding.

I would also suggest that even if we were given enough time and space to consider and calculated the forces involved, in say punching me in the face, we could still not calculate my reaction to it. Though some may believe they could, star fish.

Many moons ago I gave KJ a list of things that need be considered in the punching action/reaction. I think, though incomplete, it was very lengthy and detailed. I will search my old tombs and perhaps if I can find it I will post it here, if you are interested.

I enjoy math, I enjoy physics use of it, but math without physiology and psychology it leads to understanding the ball bounced but not the bouncer.

Cheers guys Andrew Williams

Have we in world but time and space, I would love to read that long lost post of yours. Thanks, Andrew W.

Tests similar to the Canadian one were also done here in the States to show certain ethnic groups were inferior. These test are now looked upon as biased and flawed.

We have a long holiday weekend coming up. Assuming our families leave us a little discretionary time, I’ll aim to sort through my archives for the list you mentioned.

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, to all who celebrate.

Hi Kathy Jo.

Have a fun long weekend, hope you have better luck than I.

anybody want to take a shot at comparing the open palm (heel) to the vertical punch?

any way you want…control, speed, power, damage, force, etc
