Um, why do people workout to strengthen their core? Why are there all those eastern martial arts revolving around energy. I find this sad, you cannot understand energy. Heh, I guess we know who knows more now don't we?
VisigothSaxon
Strength training builds muscles, which make you stronger, hence training your core.
In regards to Eastern Martial arts, I would explain that as myths, legends and exaggeration that developed over time.
Soooo, energy does not get desroyed or created, and it keeps something in motion, but It does not govern our actions and is not contained in our body?
Lolwut?
What? Of course there is energy involved in striking an object, however not "magical" energies that work simply because you focus.by taking the "oh it's really freakin' complicated, god must have done it" approach. science will never disprove god, only offer theories ( see scientific defintion of a theory before rant on a "theory" ) as to how the universe works, not the purpose of the universe.[QUOTE="comp_atkins"][QUOTE="VisigothSaxon"]
What have I sidestepped? Science has yet to prove or dissprove anything inculding God and the Big Bang.
I have a good qoute from Isaac Newton
"Yet one thing secures us what ever betide,/ The scriptures assures us the Lord will provide."
VisigothSaxon
That is not a sidestepp, are you saying Newton sidestepped this issue as well? Read his qoute, he believed strongly in a Divine Origin. I am saying God makes the most sense when explaining these complexities. Give me something that makes more sense and could connect all the dots, cuz I know of none.
simply providing a quote by newton does not add weight to your argument. nearly 400 years have passes since newton and while the magnificence of his work is not questioned it is possible the complexities he was talking about do have explanations in our time, btw. what is the context of that quote? what was he referring to?[QUOTE="VisigothSaxon"]I just told you, I remember there was no factual proof, that is the evidence, if there is, then by all means show me, if not drop it.ohdearohdearYou said you know about the big bang. Unless you're lying - which you are - you'll be able to tell me about the evidence for it. So go ahead.

No, there is no 'core' of energy, despite what the bull**** inherent in martial arts will tell you.
Read my post above, you can't have one and not the other. Energy is contained within our body or we would not be capable of motion seriously. You better be joking...

Now the fact of the matter is energy within our body can be moved through the body for increased force, how else would that monk who was 5'3 be able to generate the force of a 30 mileperhour car crash with a one inch punch. If you want proof I can get the video. Surely he is using his own energy, that is contained in his body to punch with substantial force.
A better question I think would be:
Is it just me, or do people just blindly hate Americans like they are Nazis?

I said it wasn't contained in a 'core' - it's actually stored for what it's worth in the form of chemical energy in glucose.

I would attribute his success in said endeavor to years, years of training. Along with good physical conditioning and strengthening.
Neither, size nor weight mean one cannot be strong or quick or less able to break things.

Eh, never been fond of the Tae Kwon Do noise, and cement block, not wood. How do you know energy is not contained in the core? You have no proof, if so, then provide a link saying that energy is not contained in the core.

with that said not all muslims are terroist extremists, or even religious, i know plenty of great muslims.

Yes, we use energy when we punch, but not in the way described, its not as if someone focuses and *bam* suddenly they destroys an entire wall.
It is myth common to all Martial Arts. There is no scientific proof of it that has thus far been presented.
However, by all means if you have actual scientific proof or evidence link/post it.

I am talking about science, and I am still in School. YES FINALLY, we exert energy, thats what I am saying, but there is a big diffrence between punching something and exerting the energy that way, compared to punching through something and exerting the energy through them. Get it, you propell the energy forward to go through the object not just colide with it and it will become more powerful. Such as if you twist your hip, it twists the energy in your hip and propels the energy in the arm forward for a faster and stronger punch.

Want the video? They did a test on a crash dummy, to test how much force he generated. It was Equal to a 30mph car crash, how is this not Scientific Proof?
I'd say its more like "teh evilz communists" during the Cold War. At least many American's knew about the threat Hitler was imposing on the world... everything about "Communist Russia" was just propoganda to scare people into political submission.
This rising hatred of Muslims is very similar, and heavily driven by the "unbiased" media.

30 miles per hour is achievable my most serious practitioners of a martial arts.
Muy Thai for one achieves such blows, yet they never claim that they use "chi, qi, etc" in their strikes.
Videos are not neccesarily scientific proof, as we cannot always see exactly how well they are measuring everything or so forth.

What do you mean, he says its his energy, that creates a lot of power, if it wasn't his energy he wouldn't punch that hard, and the crashdummy test proved, he was doing something to create tons of power. Call it what you wish, but it was how he used energy that game him so much power, combined with his fast twitch muscles, and general mass and weight.

A 1 inch punch, that was stronger than all of his other attacks, explain that? Why is the one inch punch more powerful. Mui Thai I assure you, believes in energy and tries to exert it strongly.

Why not?Because he is simply not heavy enough and not muscular enough for physics to support such power, or we would see such power often. There is a third factor that is giving him such strength. Like how do those Monks spears with their throat and all that crazy stuff? What makes them indestructible, for their demonstrations? They harness their energy like a wall.

the power of the punch is directly related to the speed of his arm and the mass of his fist. both of these dictate how much kinetic energy the strike will have and how much energy will be transferred into whatever he is striking ( i'm sure there are also factors such as the rigidity of his fists, skin muscles, density of his bones etc.. which will also contribute to how much energy is transferred to the target vs. absorbed by his hand, arm, muscles, bones.. ). anything he can do to his body to 1 increase the mass of the object doing the striking, or 2 increase it's velocity will increase the strike's power.Well the arguement kinda died, I gotta go anyway, but I think my arguement reigned supreme. :D
Good talking to you guys as well, by far the most intelligent discussion I have had with the people of offtopic.

There really isnt as much hate for Muslims as you would think. Hate and anger sells though and makes for a more interesting news story so its all you ever hear about.
Its like when someone buys something and it works perfectly, they generally dont run to an online forum to talk about how awesome and problem free it is. That same product could have a defect that a lot of people hate and it would be all you would hear about for weeks.

You have about 5000 posts more than me, and joined this site 5 months after me...take your own advice.ONTOPIC: America always makes it seem as if they have valid reasons to take away peoples' freedoms/resources, when they really don't. If you can't see this you are either:
A. In denial
or
B. An american (Not that it's bad, it's just that you guys may have a bias on this topic :P)
But i ask you, what sense does that make? A nation 'isn't too fond' of over a billion people because of the actions of a few? I don't hate everyone in Ireland because of the actions of the IRA.Lol, So if you disagree you don't have a brain :lol:
Maybe America isn't fond of Muslims because of all the Bombings and Attempted bombings in the USA and England.

To me it's a simple fact that Muslims are in the sights of a hateful media campaign to polarize people and pander for votes ahead of the elections in November. It's a shame we are so easily taken in by these fear-mongering tactics year after year.
