Episode: #ICMYI: Martial Arts – Fight Like a Physicist
It was mentioned as a new book on Krav Maga, the Israeli military fighting technique, that the professor was writing, and was planned to be released in 2018.
And also on the show is our good friend from Lynchburg College, Virginia, Professor Eric Goff, author of Gold Medal Physics and whose new book is coming out in 2018 and it's called The Science Behind Krav Maga, The Israeli Military Fighting Technique.
That'll be 2018. The science behind Krav Maga, which if I'm not mistaken, Professor, is the hand-to-hand martial arts of the Israeli military, is it not?
And hopefully next year we'll see this out on the shelves. And I've taken a lot of pictures. I train at Forest Super Kicks here in Virginia, in Forest, Virginia. My instructor, Clifton Abercrombie, has been very helpful to help me with a lot of filming.
And what he's done with me with this book is to help me film a lot of the techniques that are going to appear in the book to be described using physics.
Professor, your instructor, when you started to discuss things with him about martial arts, about Krav Maga, did you get the feeling this guy had the physics aspect of it covered already or he just learned because he was into martial arts?
