My new theory

[White Warlock]

Its funny but I didn't see anyone mention Speed as a Factor...

Follow me here:

• Power (symbol: P) is the amount of work done per unit of time.
   
  Work (abbreviated W) is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.

For these discussions, we are referring to mechanical energy in the form of kinetic energy:

• Kinetic energy is the portion of energy related to the motion of a body and is equal to the integral of the dot product of the velocity of a body and the infinitesimal of the body's momentum.
   
  Velocity (symbol: v) is a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is speed.
   
  Speed (symbol: v) is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change of position, expressed as distance moved per unit of time.

So, yes, speed was discussed. I referred to it in a previous post by mentioning 'quickest' and such other words. Others also mentioned similar. Basically, speed, as well as distance, time, and force, are factors in the determination of power. More importantly, however, acceleration is a factor in the generation of power. So, what you are more likely referring to is acceleration.

I take a very differnt style of Jujitsu called Manabi Masho we express that Speed and Technique and Flow of the movement is better then power and range.

It seems, in your system, that power and range are being given negative connotations in their definitions, whilst speed, technique, and flow are being given positive connotations. In truth, you're debating semantics, not concepts.

We also do not chamber punches at all even for hard ones, if you practice this and can get Close Quarter Combat where your literaly chest to chest you can light a person up and eventualy learn a 2-4 inch punch where you hit and instead of drawing back the hand you swing over to another area then another and speed is the factor on this technique.

As noted earlier, you are referring to acceleration. Acceleration is defined technically as, "the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time."

Also, you are not giving credit to body mechanics and the generation of power by utilizing positioning (related to technique).

Just my opinon I have sparred and gotten alot of compliments on my speed with hands.

Congratulations.

as for "nearest target" Idea, everyone says that but they go for the knees thighs, torso, or head, When the nearest target is always the hand/fingers/toes/ think about it....

Well, i don't think i posed any delineations, nor did i see anyone else do so. Straw man? Anyway, the hand, fingers and toes are 'hard targets,' and thus they influence the decision-making process when it comes to choosing your targets to assault. They are hard targets because they are small, at the end of rapidly moving limbs, and require more than merely a 'strike,' but a grab and then a pull, bend, or wrench. When referring to nearest target (which i don't recall anyone putting it that way... but i'll run with it), it is usually in reference to 'striking.' Specifically, linear strikes, which are the 'quickest' assault actions that can be committed, being that they follow the straight-line theory (yes, you can argue that one if you want to).

However, because you noted 'joints,' i'm given the impression you are referring to the less precise, more time-consuming, and prerequisite act of grabbing, for the purposes of a break, manipulate, or lock. The problem here is that going directly for a joint is not the 'most direct,' nor the 'quickest' action to take, and if you are dealing with someone who is just as quick... he could counter, by straight-line striking you on the nose.

The problem with attacking small targets is compounded by the fact that our fine motor skills degrade in a stressful situation. Also there is almost no margin for error when going for such a small target. If I attempt to strike the ribs and miss and just hit kidneys or gut, I've still hit something. If I try to grab a hand and miss by a little bit, what have I got? oh, yeah, a broken nose (or worse).

yes, that too.
