"Everybody was kung-fu fighting..." From serene Buddhist temple to sweat-soaked Octagon...Dave will take you on a journey through time and place. Along the way be prepared to punch, kick, throw, break boards and generally share the fun and mystery of martial arts. A basic 'how-to' for connecting sports and recreation to physics concepts and formulations, this workshop features brain-based guided-inquiry analysis plus the latest in physics education research (PER). Does it get any better? Yagottaloveit.
