Principles

There are laws of nature that effect all techniques, which, if understood, allow the teacher to better teach the martial arts.

• Auditory System & Semi - Circular Canals.  ( this refers to disensitizing your inner ear in order to more easily take blows to the head )

• Central Nervous System.  (This refers to understanding how the nervous system effects movement )

• Monosynaptic Stretch Reflex.  ( This is one of the factors in determining the development of joint locks )

• Gamma Motor System

• Golgi Tendon Apparatus ( This is what Prof. Wally Jay refers to as the tender triceps, involving pressure to the tendon linking the triceps muscle to the elbow joint  )

• Golgi Tendon Apparatus (

• Potential limitations

• Human Body Organization

• Covering/ Support & Movement

• Body Maintenance ( This refers to proper training and diet which effects technical skills under stress)

• Physiology.

• Link-System & Movement ( This is how the joints are connected and how the body moved )

• Horizontal & Vertical Axis ( This is part of leverage in relation to techniques )

• Linear & Rotary Motion( This relates to leverage in relation to centrifugal force )

• Radian.
