ZOMG!!! Calculations are nothing but a conspiracy against kung-fu.

See, see, see this image. If you look at the vectors, you'll see them conspiring against kung-fu!!!

To stop this conspiracy we must stop using, you know, calculations and stuff. We must make it simple, down dumbfuckery simple.

Ohhh me next.

I practice Xingyi, have studied Tai Chi, Bagua, Mantis (Northern and a little Southern) and a few other styles.

So, yes, you fail so hard the earth shook.

Look, look, 2+2=anti-kungu-conspiracy!!!!!

Name them. Liar.

- everyone who might **** up that thread by dogging you.


Shall I go on?

Every smart person that comes in here backs me up. I am trying to make something simple for people to understand, that is very very very complex.

Why won't you let me do that? Why do you insist on removing my posts, and taking the conversation back to equations, mathematics and physics buzz words?
I think you misunderstood me.

My "attempting to simplify" was perjorative. If someone did not understand university level physics but had an erratic schoolboy grounding in the subject, and they attempted to explain things like superconductivity using only the handful of electrical formulae they knew, they would likely come up with an explanation that was very, very wrong. Mathematical and conceptual simplification of things that are genuinely complex is a highway to error.

This is different from someone who understands a complicated concept using an analogy to help convey that concept to someone else. You are not doing this. You do not understand even the most basic aspects of physics. You denied Newton's Third Law in your first post. This is the law -everyone- remembers. Failing to get it right completely destroys any credibility you have on the topic of science. Do you understand this?

You know what the bag does when you hit it. It jumps around and makes loud sounds from the physical force your hand delivers to it. Just think what your liver must be doing, if your body was misaligned and you were punching your liver everytime you punched the bag.
I'm confused. Are you saying that if your body is properly aligned then the bag wont jump around when you hit it? Also what part of your body is absorbing the force if your body is aligned correctly?

Fool.

A scientific theory can prove something without the need for a physical test.

Not true. A scientific theory can make a prediction, can attempt to provide an explanation about something. And that prediction needs to be corroborated by a physical test or observation. In particular, this is true if there is a lack of sufficient empirical data to ascertain the validity (or nature) of the predictions.

Best example of this are the multiple fields tests performed to validate the predictions made by the general theory of relativity: the measurements of Mercury's perihelion precession, Sir Arthur Eddington's measurements on the deflection of light by the Sun, the Pound-Rebka experiment in 1959, etc, etc, etc. Sorry, more buzzwords and technical jargon for you.

A theory doesn't prove anything. It attempts to explain something under certain conditions, and, in doing so, requires that it be proven (it, the theory). Observations, measurements and tests, repeatable experiments are what prove or disprove something.


Go to school and get an education.

It is a scientific fact that you are a sanctimonious moron who shouldn't be lecturing others in educational matters.

Let me just put it this way:

hypothesis (def): a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory

theory (def):
1. An unproven conjecture.
2. An expectation of what should happen, barring unforeseen circumstances.
3. (science) A coherent statement or set of statements that attempts to explain observed phenomena.
4. (science) A logical structure that enables one to deduce the possible results of every experiment that falls within its purview.



In science a theory is a testable model of the manner of interaction of a set of natural phenomena, capable of predicting future occurrences or observations of the same kind, and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise verified through empirical observation.

For the scientist, "theory" is not in any way an antonym of "fact". For example, it is a fact that an apple dropped on earth has been observed to fall towards the center of the planet, and the theories commonly used to describe and explain this behavior are Newton's theory of universal gravitation (see also gravitation), and the general theory of relativity.

Fool.

A scientific theory can prove something without the need for a physical test.

Go to school and get an education.

Well, not really. People come up with theories all of the time, but they need to be tested. For example, Higgs has a theory that involves the Higgs Boson. Nobody's really sure if it exists, even though it makes life easier in some ways. Sooo ... they've built a great big extremely expensive super-collider to see if it really exists.

Another example would be the Luminiferous aether, which seemed to make a lot of sense to a lot of people for quite some time, but failed when it was tested.

And so on, and so forth.

Woah Woah woah. You smart guys aren't agreeing with Happeh.

WTF is your problem?

Woah Woah woah. You smart guys aren't agreeing with Happeh.

WTF is your problem? :laughing4

Holy crap 4x40 pages of this stuff!?

Congrats you guys. You have succesfully brought new life into the Happeh.

Now reap what you sow

The purpose in understanding a theory, is that a person who understands a theory can figure out everything by themselves. A person who does not understand theory, must be told everything. Understanding science and theories is about possiblities. The mind is filled with information that can be put to many different unknown and unpredictable uses.

I will try to demonstrate one way trigonometry could be used by a fighter below.
-----------------------

Trigonometry is a discipline that is involved with the properties of of triangles. One of the main uses of Trigonometry is in checking the alignment of things. It is very easy to check the alignment of a Triangle, because a Triangle only has 3 sides. A simple visual inspection can tell a person if something is aligned or not.

The picture below shows 3 triangles.

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/ThreeTriangles.pnghttp://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/Triangles/ThreeTriangles.png

The triangle in the middle looks "right", while the other two triangles look "wrong". The sides of the middle triangle are the same, so when the meet in a point, that point is in the center of the base of the triangle. The other two triangles have uneven sides, which puts their meeting point to one side or the other of the center of the base of the triangle.

The discipline of engineering uses some of the information from the discipline of trigonometry, to analyze and explain what is going on in a system of physical forces. According to engineering, something is more efficient when it is aligned properly. When something is misaligned, the forces in the physical system do not go where they should, resulting in lower efficiency.

The human body is a system of physical forces. So engineering can be used to explain anything the human body does. Since engineering uses trigonometry to solve engineering problems, triangles must apply to the human body.

Triangles obviously apply to the human body. There are triangles all over the human body. So if you are a fighter, and you want to be the strongest you can be, then according to engineering, you want all of the triangles in your body to be aligned as they are designed to be aligned.

That is a lot of talking. How can that information be used in a simple way to help a fighter? Very easily.

The arms of a human being form a triangle with the torso as shown below.

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/Triangles/TriangleArmsTriangle.png

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/TriangleArms.png

According to what was said above, the arms in the picture above are good arms. Both arms look equal length, and they both meet in the center of the body. According to engineering, the person with arms like the ones above would be able to efficiently deliver the majority of his power to the peak of the triangle.

Here is the next picture.

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/Triangles/LeftArmLongTriangle.png

http://www.happeh.com/Images/Bullshido/LeftArmLong.png

In the picture above, the arms have shifted. The left arm looks like it is almost sticking straight out, with the right arm reaching way over to the left. The point of the triangle is over on the left side of the body.

Common sense should tell you that there is something wrong here. Common sense should tell that if the left arm punches to the peak of the triangle, it will be a relatively strong punch. But if the right arm punches, it will be a weak punch, because the right arm is reaching way over to the left side of the body to punch. The right arm loses power traveling all the way over to the left side of the body.

If your common sense does not tell you the picture above means that the left arm will punch stronger to the peak of the triangle than the right arm, then engineering will. Solving the physical system represented by the arms in the picture above using engineering, would prove that one arm could strike the peak of the triangle stronger than the other arm could.

The next picture shows the arms shifted the other way.

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/Triangles/RightArmLongTriangle.png

http://www.happeh.com/Images/BullShido/RightArmLong.png

The right arm is almost sticking straight out, with the left arm reaching across the body to reach the peak of the triangle. Everything said about the other picture applies to this picture. The right arm can strike the peak of the triangle with more force than the left arm, because the left arm loses efficiency by traveling across the torso to reach the peak of the pyramid.

The possibilities and implications of what has been written above are many. If all of that information above is true, how could a fighter put it to use tomorrow? So as not to overwhelm people, let's try to stay simple.

Any fighter can stand up straight and put their arms out in front of themselves to form a triangle. The fighter should allow their arms to settle into what feels like a natural position.

Now look at where the peak of the triangle formed by your arms is. Is the peak of your triangle in the center of your body? If it is, then your body is mostly balanced and even from side to side. You should be able to punch with equal efficiency with either the left or right arm.

What if your triangle is to the right or the left? That means your body is unbalanced. One side of your body is probably stronger than the other, and one side of your body is obviously out of alignment, since that arm can no longer go in the center of the body.

Since engineering says the maximum power is delivered through something that is aligned, by doing this simple exercise that takes 5 minutes, you will find out if your arms are in the center of your body and you are delivering maximum power with both hands equally, or if your arms are not in the center of your body, you will find out which one of your arms is stronger than the other, and which one is not properly aligned.

Then if you cared, you could start working on realigning your body so that both arms were in the center of your body, so both arms were equally strong.
-----------------------

That is all an oversimplified, much to short, poorly worded example of one way in which Trigonometry can be useful to a fighter. Since Trigonometry has been proven to be useful to the fighter, it seems reasonable that understanding other science that applies to how the human body works and how fighting systems work, would also be useful to the thinking fighter.

To the fighter who does not want to think, Trigonometry and Science are useless in improving their fighting ability.

This is fucking ridiculous. You are hereby forbidden from using the word "engineering" in any more of your posts you retard.

Every smart person that comes in here backs me up. I am trying to make something simple for people to understand, that is very very very complex.




Hithere ,

Can you please quote me a single post that agrees with you in this thread ... hell anywhere on the site , besides of course those who are mocking you by satirically spitting your own concepts back to you .

Yohan,

I wouldn't put my PE stamp on it either.

Someone calls CERN and tell them to turn off their Large Hadron Collider. They don't need to prove that ****, all they need is the theory!!!

Could you please state your age, how many years of schooling you have, what your major is, what classes you have taken that you feel apply to this subject, and the grades you recieved these classes.Please be kind enough to answer these questions.
