Mathematically rationalizes attack and defense movements, using weight transfer and explosive force; enhancing action regardless of physical strength.
The movement of the blow is based on a contained spring that is released: the speed does not increase during the course, it already comes out at maximum speed. It's called explosive force. The blows aim to hit sensitive points on the body, which equalizes any opponent, regardless of their physical strength.
