The Science of Fighting
Objective Analysis • Universal Principles • Scientific Method
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.
Applying rigorous scientific principles to study fighting as a phenomenon, using observation, hypothesis testing, and empirical analysis to understand combat dynamics objectively.
Identifying fundamental laws that govern all physical conflict, regardless of cultural origin or martial tradition, revealing the underlying biomechanical and strategic constants.
Moving beyond subjective martial arts traditions to examine combat through naturalistic observation, mathematical modeling, and evidence-based conclusions.
The mathematical and logical foundations underlying all effective fighting techniques and strategies.
Analysis of force application, momentum transfer, and the physics of effective combat techniques.
Study of proxemics, range, timing, and the geometric principles governing combat effectiveness.
Investigation of decision-making, reaction time, and psychological elements in combat scenarios.
Quantitative research on technique effectiveness, outcome probability, and performance metrics.
Synthesis of martial arts knowledge into unified theoretical frameworks and practical applications.
Due to the existential need, every culture established a program of studying and training for survival in interpersonal physical conflict.
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.
Publication of "The Science of Fighting" established the methodological framework for eskirmological research, introducing key concepts and analytical tools.
Research scope broadened to include psychological, commercial, and social conflict analysis, demonstrating the universal applicability of eskirmological principles.
International community of researchers, martial artists, and academics continues to develop eskirmological methodology and expand its applications across disciplines.
