I wanted to create an art based on fundamental observations of physics, perception, intent, impulse, and energy — an art that gears itself to meet any situation because it is founded on understanding the principles in which interaction takes place. 

I wanted an art that would be adaptable and well-designed, forged through training and techniques but designed to teach something beyond the form. 

The Art of Effortless Power is such an art.
