Kung Fu has evolved from a traditional means of defence to become a system of attacking and defending oneself, with or without weapons, exercising the body and maintaining good physical and mental health. As such, these practices have found an international following. Yet what has remained a largely unexplored area is the scientific principles behind these martial arts.

　　This book not only covers the brief history of Chinese martial arts, but also brings together the wisdom of a Kung Fu grand master with a scientist and teacher to explain the scientific reasons why Kung Fu is the powerful practice that it is. Using the principles of physics, biomechanics and biology, with a number of drawings showing some basic postures of Kung Fu, the authors present a deep understanding of how the styles, the specific movements and methods of attack and defence operate.
 

《武道玄機：探尋格鬥藝術的哲學與科學》 （一部深入剖析武術本質、超越流派壁壘的綜閤性著作） 本書並非僅僅記錄拳腳的招式，亦非簡單羅列曆史的年錶。它是一次深入的哲學思辨，一次嚴謹的科學探究，旨在剝開層層武術錶象，直抵其核心——人類身體潛力、運動生物力學、以及通過身體訓練所能達到的心智境界。 第一部分：形體與動能——武術的物理學基礎 本部分將格鬥藝術視為一門應用物理學的實踐領域。我們摒棄瞭傳統武術中那些模糊不清的“氣”或“勁”的描述，轉而采用現代運動科學的視角，對其進行量化與解析。 1. 杠杆原理與人體結構： 我們將詳細分析關節、骨骼和肌肉群在發力過程中的協同作用。探討“寸勁”的本質並非神秘力量，而是對力矩（Torque）的精準控製和瞬間爆發力（Power）的實現。通過對經典招式如八極拳的“靠”、太極拳的“捋勁”進行生物力學建模，揭示其如何在最小形變下産生最大衝擊效率。 2. 動量守恒與傳導： 重點研究如何有效地吸收和轉移動量。格鬥中的防守與進攻，本質上是對牛頓第三定律的精妙運用。我們將比較不同武術體係（如柔道中的“抱摔”與散打中的“鞭腿”）在動量傳遞路徑上的差異，分析其能量效率與適用環境。 3. 柔韌性、反應速度與神經反饋： 探討身體素質訓練的神經科學基礎。快速反應並非單純的“本能”，而是基於高效的感知-處理-執行迴路。本書將介紹先進的反應訓練方法，如何通過優化視覺捕捉（Visual Acuity）、本體感覺（Proprioception）的精確度，來縮短決策時間，提升身體的適應性。 4. 呼吸的科學： 拋棄傳統觀念中對“丹田氣”的浪漫化描述，轉而研究膈肌呼吸法（Diaphragmatic Breathing）對心血管係統和肌肉供氧效率的影響。分析在劇烈對抗中，如何利用特定的呼吸節奏來穩定核心肌群，延遲乳酸堆積，維持持續的戰鬥耐力。 第二部分：心智的雕塑——格鬥中的認知與心理學 武術的更高境界，往往在於心智的磨礪。本部分著眼於格鬥情境下的心理學、決策製定與意識流控製。 1. 壓力下的決策製定（OODA 循環）： 藉鑒軍事決策理論，我們將分析頂尖格鬥傢如何在極短時間內完成觀察（Observe）、定位（Orient）、決策（Decide）和行動（Act）的循環。探討“心流”狀態在對抗中的錶現，以及如何通過訓練模擬“真實威脅”，使身體在壓力下自動進入最優決策模式。 2. 恐懼管理與脫敏訓練： 深入解析身體對威脅的生理反應——腎上腺素激增、隧道視野（Tunnel Vision）的形成。本書提供瞭一套係統化的心理脫敏方案，指導習練者將對痛苦和失敗的恐懼，轉化為專注的能量，實現情緒的“中立化”。 3. 意念與專注力的控製： 討論如何通過冥想（Meditation）和專注力訓練，提升對身體細微感覺的感知力，即“察覺對手的意圖”。這是一種對次級信號的解碼能力，是區分高級武者與普通打鬥者的關鍵。 4. 學習的遷移性與模式識彆： 研究大腦如何構建和優化運動模式（Motor Patterns）。分析不同流派的訓練體係在構建運動“數據庫”上的優勢與劣勢，以及如何高效地將基礎技術遷移到復雜、不可預測的實戰環境之中。 第三部分：曆史的迴響與流派的演進 本部分以批判性的曆史視角，審視武術的起源、發展及其在現代社會中的定位。 1. 從戰場到競技場： 追蹤古代格鬥技藝（如中國武術、日本古流劍術）如何因社會結構的變化，從軍事實用性轉嚮文化傳承或競技體育。分析這一轉變過程中，哪些核心的戰鬥效率被保留，哪些又因規則限製而被弱化。 2. 東西方格鬥哲學的交匯： 對比東方強調“圓融”、“藉力”的內傢思想，與西方強調“直綫”、“爆發力”的拳擊與摔跤體係。探究這些看似矛盾的方法論，在現代綜閤格鬥（MMA）的熔爐中是如何融閤與再創造的。 3. 傳統武術的現代睏境與齣路： 探討傳統武術在麵對現代科學檢驗時的挑戰。本書主張，保留其蘊含的身體智慧，但必須以現代科學的語言進行重構和驗證，纔能確保其長久生命力。 結論：超越格鬥的技藝 《武道玄機》的終極目標，是引導讀者認識到，對身體的深入理解和對心智的嚴格訓練，是人類自我完善的普遍途徑。武術訓練所培養齣的紀律性、對痛苦的耐受力、以及對自身局限的清晰認知，是任何領域的成功基石。本書旨在提供一個框架，使習練者能夠科學地解析他們的每一次齣拳、每一次呼吸，從而真正掌握自我控製的藝術。 本書適閤所有對人體運動科學、認知心理學、以及深層次的身體技術解析感興趣的讀者，無論他們是否是任何武術的習練者。

序

　　The Chinese, “Kung Fu” means perfection or hard work, which exemplifies the practice-based nature of Kung Fu. It has a long history and has branched into hundreds of different styles and schools, most of them originating from the Shaolin monastery for Buddhist monks where they use Kung Fu to maintain their health. Today it is popular across a broad spectrum of people for a wide variety of reasons.

　　This book arose from the course “Science in Chinese Kung Fu” I teach in City University of Hong Kong. As a scientist and a practitioner, it is something which has always intrigued me. As there are so many practitioners of Kung Fu around the world it was thought that this might be of interest to a wider audience or indeed that it may appeal to those with an interest in Kung Fu but who have felt, perhaps, that it lacked a solid scientific basis.

　　We discuss the scientific flavour of Kung Fu and explain how science makes Chinese Kung Fu more effective and more versatile. This book is interdisciplinary in nature, and includes aspects of classical mechanics to understand how Kung Fu works in action. In addition, bio-mechanics, a concept used to describe martial arts in motion, is explained using fundamental physics concepts. Finally, the book offers a different view, based on science, of how Kung Fu can help to maintain physical and mental health.

　　This is a collaboration of three parties. Fen Sun carried out much research and writing, particularly on the historical, civilisation and ethics parts. T. K. Leung is a Wing Chun Sifu (master) who gave advice on postures, stances and real combat situations for which I then provided  the scientific interpretation.

《功夫與科學》這本書，讓我對“實踐齣真知”這句話有瞭全新的體會。作者就像一位深諳此道的智者，他並沒有直接給我灌輸什麼科學理論，而是通過對中國功夫的細緻入微的觀察和分析，讓我自己去“發現”科學。我特彆喜歡作者在探討“呼吸與發力”之間的關係時，那種循序漸進的引導方式。他並沒有上來就講氣體交換和橫膈膜運動，而是先讓我們體會到，深長而有力的呼吸，是如何讓身體在發力時更加穩定和充沛的。然後，他再巧妙地引入呼吸的生理學原理，解釋為什麼正確的呼吸方式能夠幫助我們更好地儲存和釋放能量，甚至影響我們的神經係統反應速度。這種“由錶及裏”的講解方式，讓我感覺自己不僅僅是在閱讀，更像是在參與一場智力探險。我也開始反思，那些在武術訓練中被反復強調的“氣沉丹田”、“意念集中”等等，其實都蘊含著非常樸素的生理學和心理學原理。這本書讓我覺得，古人的智慧真的值得我們去深入挖掘和學習。

讀完《功夫與科學》，我最大的感受就是——原來我一直以來對功夫的認知，都太錶麵化瞭。我以前總覺得功夫就是一套套招式，是身體的柔韌和力量的較量。但這本書徹底顛覆瞭我的想法。作者以一種近乎“偵探”般的嚴謹態度，去剖析每一個功夫動作背後的科學原理。他不僅僅是羅列公式，而是通過生動的比喻和詳實的案例，將復雜的科學概念融入到我們熟悉的武術場景中。比如說，他在講述“卸力”技巧時，並沒有直接講物理學上的動量守恒，而是通過形象地比喻，比如“讓對方的攻擊沿著自己的身體滑齣去”，然後再引申到如何利用身體的結構和關節的角度來分散和引導力量。這種敘述方式，讓我在閱讀過程中絲毫不會感到疲憊，反而充滿瞭探索的樂趣。我甚至開始思考，那些古代的武術大師們，在沒有現代科學知識的情況下，是如何通過長期的實踐和觀察，摸索齣如此符閤物理規律的動作體係的？這本書真的讓我對中國功夫的智慧産生瞭由衷的敬佩，也讓我意識到，科學並非隻有實驗室裏的冰冷數據，它同樣可以蘊含著如此深邃的哲學和藝術。

這本書真的刷新瞭我對“功夫”的固有印象，它不再是單純的打打殺殺，而是一種充滿科學智慧的藝術。作者在書中用一種非常“生活化”的口吻，來解讀那些看似高深的科學原理，讓我在閱讀過程中感到非常輕鬆愉快，但同時又收獲滿滿。我特彆喜歡他對“步法”的分析，他並沒有僅僅停留在“腳下生風”的意境描述，而是深入到瞭步法變化如何影響身體的“穩定性”、“重心轉移”以及“能量蓄積”等層麵。他甚至將這些步法與現代軍事學中的“戰術布局”和“地麵移動學”聯係起來，讓我腦洞大開。我常常在閱讀時，會不自覺地在腦海裏模擬那些步法的移動軌跡，然後想象著作者所描述的科學原理是如何在其中運作的。這種方式讓我感覺，科學不再是冰冷的理論，而是可以切實應用到我們身邊，甚至是我們中華傳統文化之中的。這本書讓我覺得，原來學習科學，也可以如此有趣和富有啓發性。

评分☆☆☆☆☆

哇，這本書真的讓我腦洞大開！一開始我以為《功夫與科學》會是那種硬邦邦的、充斥著公式和定律的枯燥讀物，結果完全不是！作者很巧妙地將我們熟悉的中國傳統武術——功夫，與現代科學的視角結閤起來，簡直是太有創意瞭。我特彆喜歡作者在開頭部分對“勢”的解讀，那不僅僅是武術中的一個概念，更是對物理學中動量和能量傳遞的深刻理解。他用非常通俗易懂的語言，解釋瞭為什麼看似簡單的招式背後，蘊含著如此復雜的物理原理。比如，他對“力從何來”的追問，讓我重新審視瞭每一個拳腳的動作，不再僅僅是肌肉的爆發，而是涉及到重心轉移、慣性、杠杆原理等等。甚至在講解一些基礎的拳法時，都引申齣瞭關於空氣動力學、流體動力學甚至仿生學的討論，聽起來像是科幻小說，但作者卻用嚴謹的科學依據支撐。我常常在閱讀時，腦海裏會不斷浮現齣那些武俠電影裏慢動作迴放的經典場景，然後作者的解讀就像一把鑰匙，一下子就打開瞭新的視角。這讓我覺得，原來我們一直引以為傲的傳統文化，竟然和尖端的科學研究有著如此深厚的淵源，真是太讓人驚喜瞭！

评分☆☆☆☆☆

這本書的視角實在是太獨特瞭！我之前從未想過，中國功夫和科學竟然能如此契閤。作者就像一位經驗豐富的導遊，帶領我在功夫的“森林”中穿梭，同時又為我揭示隱藏在樹葉、樹乾下的科學“奧秘”。他並沒有試圖把功夫“科學化”到失去它原有的魅力，而是用科學的語言去“闡釋”功夫的精妙。比如，他對“勁力”的講解，讓我對身體的內部聯動有瞭更深的理解。他把身體想象成一個精密的機械係統，每一個關節、每一塊肌肉都在特定時機協同發力，從而産生齣強大的瞬間爆發力。這讓我聯想到工程學中的“能量傳遞效率”，以及材料科學中的“應力集中”問題。我印象最深刻的是，作者在分析“發力”的瞬間，是如何利用身體的“彈性勢能”和“動量傳遞”的。他用的比喻非常巧妙，例如將身體比作彈簧，或是將打擊過程比作物體碰撞，瞬間就將抽象的物理概念具象化瞭。這本書讓我覺得，傳統武術不僅僅是一種技藝，更是一種基於深刻實踐和自然規律的“行為科學”。
