Scientific Book concerning Martial Art

[Kyoshi]

I couldn't find if there was a book section, so Generel it went:

Can any of you guys tell me if there exists such a book, which describes the different forces were using in martial arts, such as leverege, gravity, kinetics, centrifugal force, impact calculation etc. The closest i get is the encyclopedia of kenpo - but thats not close enough.

Thx

Martina Sprague wrote two books on the science of the martial arts, you can check them out on Amazon.com, among other places:

Fighting Science

The Science of Takedown, Throws and Grappling for Self-Defense

Also, you are probably familiar with the National Geographic Series "Fight Science." You can get the video: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/fight-science

There is another one. Looks like its a little older. I think it is called, "The Martial Arts Book of Physics," or something like that. I have it on my bookshelf, but haven't looked at it in awhile. They used photos of Benny The Jet in there for some photos. The physics (mathematics) looks sound in the book.

I'll get the info from it at my office and post it later.
