There is a lot of Physics to discover when you take your class on a journey to discover the Art of Kung Fu. Ancient Chinese scholars spent countless time observing the dynamic properties of human and animal bodies to build the complex systems of chinese martial arts.
Modern concepts of physics, like conservation of momentum, vector decomposition, and the observation of location, speed and acceleration with high-speed cameras shed new light on the science behind Kung Fu.
Together with Kung Fu Grandmaster Thommy Luke Boehlig, we will dissect certain non-harmful moves of Wing Tsjun Kung Fu and analyze them with methods that can be easily applied in physics classes. We will provide you with worksheets to conduct this part of inquiry learning in class, and connect you with a network of Kung Fu Trainers close to your school or university that may provide additional insights in your classes.

How might we use breaks in physics classes to provide a meaningful experience, heighten cooperation and concentration, and provide more safety for kids on the way to school?
We developed a Tactile Reaction Training TRT that can be embedded in physics classes without compromises to lab safety. The training was about ten minutes for each of them and focused on getting a better body feeling to react more appropriately in danger situations. Aspects of Germany‘s core curriculum in Physics, e.g. conservation of Momentum, Force and Motion is connected to the training.
