4 Terms for the qualification of movement 1) mechanics
2) technique
3) form
4) style
Mechanics of Movement Angular velocity, momentum, leverage, origin or insertion of
muscles, torque, power, force, relative angels, physics of movement
Technique of Movement The method to success for completion of a movement
Style of Movement The signature to a movement, aspects of the movement that is unique to
