Alf/all,

Likewise, before someone flames me--my response was directed at the "physics" question as I read it; I provide an amateur physicist's (ie, not a PhD, but BS minor)explanation of the physics that appear to be in play.

I certainly do not intend to discount the existence of any other "forces" which might affect the interaction of, in this case, belly and fist. They may be there, they may actually be physical forces, or they may be spiritual. My response is restricted to the obvious physical interactions, there may be others of which, being only an amateur aikidoist, I'm completely ignorant.

As to "lurking"--I hope I'm not, if that's a bad thing, but I'm not much of an "online community" sort of guy--- apologize if I failed to properly enter the discussion. Help me out-should I do anything different?

best regards
Paul
