My background is in physics — I studied at university with a teaching specialisation and spent several years in the Theoretical Physics department, researching Szekeres solutions of the Einstein field equations. The analytical approach I developed and used shaped the way I think about movement, karate and “things” in general. When I write about body dynamics, ground reaction forces, or fascial integration, I’m not borrowing metaphors — I’m applying the same analytical framework to a different domain. I first stepped into a dojo at fifteen — a skinny child in a crowded school hall in Lubaczów, where more than 40 teenagers were breathing in the mysticism of Japanese commands and trying to imitate the unfamiliar movements of hands and legs. I wanted to prove that I wasn’t as weak as I looked (and had been told my whole childhood).
