Self Defense and Martial Arts Techniques – Using Body Weight to Increase Striking Power
Potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy. The body has potential energy stored in the muscles and also because of its position in the earths gravitational field. We can convert this potential energy to kinetic energy in two ways: by lowering the position of our body in the earths gravitational field or by using our muscles to accelerate the body.
