...Korean Karate speaker mentioned, control and balance are two of the vital components of that art; neither do the "soft" arts necessarily lack speed and power. As I understand it, the difference rather is about redirecting an opponent's energy/turning his strength or momentum to the defender's advantage/etc. ("circular" moves may be featured) versus a defense consisting of self-originating attacks against the opponent (mention of "linear" moves...

...revise their theories to fit the new facts. To begin with, theorists have to scramble to explain how the 51 Pegasi planet could have formed and survived intact so close to its parent star. The planet around 70 Virginis is also problematic: its orbit is egg-shaped rather than circular, which suggests to some astronomers that it formed more like a star than like a planet. Indeed, many experts think it is technically a brown dwarf--a star that never got big enough to ignite--rather than a planet. Only the third object matches what astronomers expected. Says Brown cautiously...
Each day, as the Earth turns, the BETA (for Billion-channel Extra-Terrestrial Assay) telescope sweeps a circular swath through the heavens, elevated at a slightly different fixed angle from the horizon with each successive turn. During each circuit it captures radio waves reaching Earth at frequencies between 1400 and 1720 megahertz--a broad but relatively "quiet" region of the radio spectrum. "In the 1960s we were looking in a few niches and hoping the extraterrestrials had put their jewels there," says astronomer Frank Drake, who launched the first SETI project in 1960. "They didn't. Now we are doing...
