Objective Analysis • Universal Principles • Scientific Method

Science of conflict

Eskirmology represents the application of scientific methodology to the study of physical conflict, transcending cultural boundaries and traditional martial arts to reveal universal principles of combat.

Scientific method

Applying rigorous scientific principles to study fighting as a phenomenon, using observation, hypothesis testing, and empirical analysis to understand combat dynamics objectively.

Universal principles

Identifying fundamental laws that govern all physical conflict, regardless of cultural origin or martial tradition, revealing the underlying biomechanical and strategic constants.

Objective analysis

Moving beyond subjective martial arts traditions to examine combat through naturalistic observation, mathematical modeling, and evidence-based conclusions.

Core research

Combat Logic

The mathematical and logical foundations underlying all effective fighting techniques and strategies.

Force Dynamics

Analysis of force application, momentum transfer, and the physics of effective combat techniques.

Spatial Relationships

Study of proxemics, range, timing, and the geometric principles governing combat effectiveness.

Cognitive Factors

Investigation of decision-making, reaction time, and psychological elements in combat scenarios.

Statistical Analysis

Quantitative research on technique effectiveness, outcome probability, and performance metrics.

System Integration

Synthesis of martial arts knowledge into unified theoretical frameworks and practical applications.

Evolution of the science

Ancient times

Martial arts invented

Due to the existential need, every culture established a program of studying and training for survival in interpersonal physical conflict.

2004-2008

Term coined

The term "Eskirmology" was first introduced to reference the scientific study of martial arts functions, marking the beginning of formal academic inquiry into combat dynamics.

2009

Foundational text

Publication of "The Science of Fighting" established the methodological framework for eskirmological research, introducing key concepts and analytical tools.

2009-2014

Expanded application

Research scope broadened to include psychological, commercial, and social conflict analysis, demonstrating the universal applicability of eskirmological principles.

2014-Present

Global research

International community of researchers, martial artists, and academics continues to develop eskirmological methodology and expand its applications across disciplines.
