Saturday, February 17, 2007, 2pm - 5pm @ SFMAI, 4 West 18th St., 3rd fl. NY, NY 10011. In Anatomy & Kinesiology in the Martial Arts: The Foot, we will examine the foot as the foundation for explosive and accurate kicking technique. The class will include an introduction to the bones and muscles of the foot using textbooks, models, and palpation. We will then look at the dynamic principles of the supporting foot, various kicking feet (ball, side, and heel foot), and their relationship to whole body connectivity and power.
