Parting the Clouds - The Science of the Martial Arts by Rebecca Harrop

Parting the Clouds - The Science of the Martial Arts by Rebecca Harrop

This is a book that's long overdue: One that provides information that has never before been published, compiled or analyzed in a way that's designed to help fighters. This is a guide to the science of kicking and punching that can settle the debates about which techniques are the most effective and why. It will help a fighter to fight, an instructor to teach and martial artists to advance by working things out for themselves. There is no magic involved in the martial arts. The force and power that is displayed by an expert fighter is the consequence of rigorous training in the accurate application of physical laws. Understanding how to use these laws of physics to create massive impact forces will provide a personal insight into the practice of correct technique and form. This unique piece of work will act as a technical reference that provides the facts and figures that fighters seek, including records of the maximum force and speed achieved by some of the best present day warriors, helping to answer many of the most difficult questions in the martial arts.

Harrop, Rebecca: - Rebecca Harrop is a self-confessed sceptic of her own 'God'. Nevertheless, as a modern-day spiritual thinker Rebecca's work is profoundly moving to those seeking meaning in a life which is often confusing, contrary and seemingly unfair and punishing. With a degree in Psychology from the University of St. Andrews and as a master of Philosophy and Cognitive Science, Rebecca is unafraid of tackling some of the harder questions one would want to ask a deity-such as: 'how can you allow bad things to happen to good people?' Her book 'To Me from Me' provides a selection of 'God's words of wisdom' which are oddly comforting, with the feel of a truth we once knew but had simply forgotten. Rebecca provides us with a dialogue with a God who is anybody and everybody's; the God within each of us-Christian, Buddhist...religious, atheist and agnostic alike. Whether it is taken literally or simply philosophically, Rebecca's work is inspirational and motivational to anyone seeking a fuller understanding of themselves, life, the Universe and everything; encouraging each of us to be-friend our own God in order to enrich our own lives and experiences. When she is not writing, or bringing up her two beautiful children, Rebecca works as a teacher in the United Kingdom. She hopes that her work may help others to find some peace, resonance with life and perhaps a fragment of understanding the whole.
