Produktinformationen zu „Fight Like a Physicist (ePub)“

An in-depth look into the physics behind martial arts. Whether you are an experienced martial artist or a curious enthusiast, this book gives you an "unfair advantage" by unraveling the complex science of effective fighting techniques and examining the core principles that make them work. Did you know?





  • Momentum is for knocking people over


  • Energy is for breaking bones and causing pain


  • A haymaker travels 3.14159 times farther than a jab


  • You are only an "object" when you are rigid




Fight Like a Physicist blends inquiry, skepticism, and irreverent humor-all while punching holes in myth and mysticism. Highlights include





  • Making physics your "unfair advantage," in the ring and on the street


  • Examining center of mass, pi, levers, wedges, angular momentum, and linear momentum for martial artists


  • Reducing traumatic brain injury in contact sports


  • Exposing the illusion of safety provided by gloves and helmets


  • Overturning conventional wisdom on compliance during an assault


  • Busting up Hollywood action clichés




Fight Like a Physicist reads like a manifesto on the rational practice of martial arts. It's intelligent, fun, and dangerous-and nothing short of iconoclastic.

Autoren-Porträt von Jason Thalken
Jason Thalken has a PhD in computational condensed matter physics from the University of Southern California, and bachelor's degrees in physics, mathematics, and philosophy from the University of Texas. He is the inventor on eight patent applications for data science and modeling in the financial services industry, and one patent application for protecting the brain from trauma in such sports as boxing, MMA, and football. Jason has studied and competed in more than eight different martial arts styles since 1995 and has a black belt in hapkido under Grand Master Ho Jin Song.


Jason grew up deep in the woods of Massachusetts, where he cultivated an early love of the natural world, and had already decided to become a scientist by the time he was seven. After moving to the suburbs of Dallas, Jason started taking taekwondo, and he fell in love with the complex chaos of fighting when he broke his foot at his very first competition.
