comment Which kind of breath provides the most striking power?
@stslavik, that's not true. Every aspect of human-related physics is quite easily measurable. Impact energy, pressure and impulse are all directly measurable. Velocity can be observed with a high speed camera (see any episode of Mythbusters for an example). The mass of the system components shows up in all of the related formulae; just solve for 'm'.

@BerinLoritsch, then it's an unanswerable question without that context. General aimless discussion is specifically disallowed in the FAQ.

comment Which kind of breath provides the most striking power?
"Power is how much force is transferred to the target": again, you're thinking of energy.

comment Which kind of breath provides the most striking power?
This is incorrect: "Power is force over time." You're thinking of work: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)#Mechanical_power The correct definition is "Power = Force times velocity = Work over time." Power is also a poor choice as a physical principle due to it's lack of conservation. Try kinetic energy instead = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2.

comment Which kind of breath provides the most striking power?
@BerinLoritsch, so it's an unanswerable general question according to the FAQ: martialarts.stackexchange.com/faq#dontask There are too many variables, undefined terms and a missing metric (what is "best"?).

"No, I can't define the methods of breathing that I refer to" - if the terms aren't defined, then this is not an answerable question.

comment How do I coach her mindset to better suit karate competitions?
Totally agree: if you're engaged, you can't give objective feedback. That said, you can talk about "what worked for me" and see if that's useful. Realize: it might not help. Her issues are not your issues.
