WapCaplet Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Even karate has to give way to physics. In order to accelerate a human's mass sufficiently to displace them by 9 meters, you would require a great deal of force to be applied. In the form of a punch, where the force is already accelerated, the target would suffer bad injury. If the driving force were accelerating the target from zero inertia, the attacker would still require significant acceleration and force to make the target move 9 meters. And once the initial contact is made and the target starts to move backwards, you are really only relying on the friction of the target with the ground to allow them to travel any significant distance. I don't know about any of you, but when I get shoved hard, I stagger a bit and regain my balance, or I fall down. I don't slide 9 meters backwards on my heels. Wap "Fighting fighting.
