I have been fascinated by the research work initiated by Kadochnikov in Russia regarding the bio-mechanical efficiency study of movement applied to Martial Arts.

My understanding (as a newbie to this) is that the focus of such an approach is to find the most effective, efficient, least energy-consuming ways/techniques/body movement principles to attack and defend yourself.

Therefore, bio-mechanics of MA movement is applicable to any Martial Arts, and perhaps already embedded in many MA's.
