Abir Warrior Arts

[Tom Yum]

Tokyo Kid, TTE escrima and KOTF do know what they're talking about - their old schoolers when it comes to the martial arts - lots of folks doing good stuff with judo, karate and kung-fu.

From what I've read (and been told) - some of the Marines in vietnam witnessed Korean mercenaries make a mess out of the vietcong with their CQB skills (based in TKD) - despite this, lots of folks from the MMA world talk smack about TKD.

Why? Because its become more of a sport art and because of Mcdojoism in the 80's and 90's.

Alot of things that guys like KOTF and TTE put out on this sight are very insightful to the traditional arts - because they keep these arts alive and applicable.

And a lot of things are not.

Linear velocity is directly proportional to the radius given a uniform angular velocity. In other words, while the sword travels at blinding speed, the wrist and arms don't.

Yep so in effect the blade is moving MUCH faster than any part of the body.

Which KOTF was not your point but one that I made. You are not going to be able to move your body faster than a sword.

Typical tip speed for a good strike is in excess of 200 ft/s thats roughly 136 mph. Some people can get 350 ft/s thats a whooping 236 mph!!!

Now seriously can you move that fast?

So you are saying the tip of the sword is moving faster than the handle?

But isn't the handle connected to the tip?

How can one piece of ridged steel move faster than another piece if they are connected?

And a lot of things are not.

And we see the superior attitude hasn't changed any.

Basic physics!!!

Angular velocity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't need a mathematical formula to tell me it's bullshit that a section of a solid piece of anything is moving faster than another section.


The tip is moving just as fast as the handle. It may be farther away from the handle creating an illusion to the simple minded that it is moving faster, but it's not.


It is physically impossible for the tip to be moving faster than the rest of the metal it is attached to.

Oh Oh Huston we have a problem!

[Da Pope]

It would seem you are confusing angluar velocity with linear velocity.

It would also seem that your fundemental understanding of mechanics is deeply flawed.

That certainly has been an issue with some of your crew, but we'll let bygones be bygones.

Sorry KOTF, but Wingnut is right about this one.

[Da Pope]

<< righteous smile

Actually they're both right. I'll explain later when I have time. But Da Pope, think about the relation between angular velocity, linear velocity, and the radius and you will get it.

Break out the slide rules and graphing calculators!!! The NERDS have taken over!!!!!

Give me a break I do biomechanical research for a living of course I know the link between angular and linear velocity FFS!

It would seem KOTF doesnt though, or even why linear velocity is the important factor here.

Could you tell him mellow?
