Functional Anatomy for the Martial
Artist, Part Two
A team-taught seminar on how hands, wrists and chest
structures work and what can happen when they are subjected to force. The yin and yang of this is how you can hurt
yourself by improper body mechanics or how the martial techniques may be
applied to injure the joints or chest.
WHO: Kenpo
professor Lee Wedlake and Marc Rowe, M.D. will team teach this seminar. Dr.
Rowe is Professor Emeritus, Univ. of Pittsburgh and a retired surgeon with
years of practice of Yang tai chi.
WHEN: Saturday,
August 4, 2012. Noon to 5:30pm
WHY: Students in
our tai chi and kenpo classes expressed interest in the basics of functional
anatomy we taught. It is important to know how your joints are designed to work
best to prevent damage from repetitive, incorrect movement or trauma induced by
impact and twisting as is taught in martial applications. This is needed to
protect oneself in training or to gain insight as to what is actually happening
when you apply defensive techniques.
HOW: Participants will get classroom work through lecture and PowerPoint presentation mixed with supervised hands-on practice of technique application. This makes it much easier for those unaccustomed to such hands-on training to gain insights into the “why” we do what we do in a safe, controlled environment.
