Goju karate is a great example, well most styles are about contracting the muscles and then expanding them in a split second. It was great teaching at a university where I could easily relate to physics :) I start a new club this Saturday - exciting times for 2013! check us out, we are in California. http://www.trivalleykarate.com www.trivalleykarate.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760304298475346966noreply@blogger.com
