In our study of Pearlman's Book of Martial Power, we have completed the first section on Principles of Theory, and we are beginning on Section II - Physiokinetic Principles. "Physiokinetic" is Pearlman's $10 word for anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and biomechanics.

Thus, in our study of martial arts, the studies of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, and biomechanics must become our masters. We need to pay more attention to the roots and trunk of this tree, than to its flowers and leaves.

Stay tuned to begin our study of Physiokinetic Principles of Martial Arts.
