​Fight Like a Physicist

On Wednesday, 22 August, Emily Hall from the University of Otago and Dunedin Karate Club visited the Year 12 Physics class to show them how Physics principles are applied to the sport of Karate.  She went through momentum, impulse, centre of mass and forces, how to hold body positions and various other Karate moves.  It was a short two hour introduction to Karate which was enjoyed by all.
