Lit. Centrifugal. It refers to the centrifugal or center fleeing force. An object in circular motion requires a constant force pushing it toward the center of its circular path. The centrifugal force is a reaction against the centripetal force or center seeking force. The two forces are equal in strength, but opposite in direction. Only the centripetal force acts directly on the moving object. However, the centrifugal force acts only on the source of the centripetal force. All fighting techniques require the use of body movement. The study of Ti deals with circular motion which requires the understanding of balance against unbalance, action against reaction, or centripetal against centrifugal forces.
