Cube of power
The body is mechanically designed to function best in the area that is directly in front of the body. The cube area can best be defined as the distance from the shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip to define the width, from shoulder to hip to define the height and the length of the arm to define the depth.
As martial artist when performing technique we should strive to make sure that we use this cube of power and center our technique to strike the target within this area. This will allow for the delivery of techniques with the most amounts of coordinatioon and force possible.
