T.O.P consists of:
- Reaction Force
A. A jet engine is pushed by the speed of the exhaust gases
- Concentration
The smaller the striking surface of the attacking tool, the greater the penetration given the same amount of energy
- Equilibrium
Loss of balance and the elevation of the center of balance will reduce the amount of energy delivered to a target
- Breath Control
- Time the contraction of the muscle groups delivering the power
- Stiffen the body at the right moment to help withstand a blow
- Avoid loss of energy
- Mass
Body weight adds to the delivered energy provided all elements of T.O.P are observed
- Speed
F = M(D/T)Squared where D = distance and T = time
- Speed and Reflex
Any technique delivered faster than an opponents reaction time will strike its target without being blocked
- Speed and Strength
Application of pleiometric principles greatly enhances the energy delivered to a target
