Kenpo is known as a system based on logic, largely because it adopts and applies other scientific disciplines to maximize its effectiveness.
The knowledge of physics is important in understanding Kenpo techniques. Through the use of mathematical laws, theories, concepts
and principles of mass, speed, body alignment, angles, body momentum, gravitational marriage, rotating force, opposing force, stability,
power, etc., can make our body function intuitively with economy of motion. Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and geometry are also
logically entwined to insure even more practicality.
