Within this examination, Professor Arus highlights the use of energy and force especially in \u003ci\u003eKyusho-Jutsu\u003c\/i\u003e. Whereas the first edition provided an in-depth explanation of the Aikido techniques of \u003ci\u003eKokyu-ryoku\u003c\/i\u003e, the second edition focusses specifically on the grabbing and liberation techniques used in \u003ci\u003eKyusho-Jutsu\u003c\/i\u003e. Such an examination stresses the importance of vital points, \"finger manipulation\", and their co rresponding emphasis on energy usage. As Professor Arus details throughout \u003ci\u003eBiomechanics of Human Motion, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, knowledge of this form of pressure point maneuvering is useful in both attack and counterattack situations, especially since the martial artist's anatomo-physiological adaptation to effort represents the most significant development in fighting regimens. The second edition also includes a discussion of the \u003ci\u003ekatana\u003c\/i\u003e. Professor Arus notes that defense against the \u003ci\u003ekatana\u003c\/i\u003e is nearly impossible, describing the three major steps used in Japanese (\u003ci\u003eMa\u003c\/i\u003e). It is customary in Aikido to defend against a wooden sword. By using a wooden sword, an Aikido Master's demonstration is pre-determined. Techniques to defend against these demonstrations are discussed throughout the book. Finally, various attack and defense techniques using pressure points are also explained in \u003ci\u003eBiomechanics of Human Motion, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmeric Arus, Ph.D, is a Grand Master of Judo and Karate (7th Degree Black Belt) and has been an active practitioner and instructor of the martial arts for the past 35 years.
