An idiom describing a distinct form of Body Momentum - generated by utilizing gravity simultaneously with the mass of the body to enhance (a) move(s).

Comments:

Body Settling is essentially the lowering of one's body mass (utilizing Gravitational Marriage), to enhance the timing, power, and/or speed of movement.

Ways to create a Body Settle:

a.Muscles - lowering the body via the use of the muscles in one's base (with the aid of gravity)

b.Gravity - removing one's base, thus causing the body to fall (using gravity completely)

Using gravity to create a Body Settle is typically done by lifting one's feet from the ground, allowing the body to lower, and then recreating one's base at a suitable time.  This method typically allows for quicker acceleration and can be likened to a Slap Check with the hands.

Example(s):

Bending one's knees while executing a downward strike, in order to enhance the strike'seffectiveness, demonstrates a Body Settle.
