KENPO 101 –

Lemniscate (Lemniscate of Bernoulli)–

Most of us recognize this symbol as the infinity symbol, a figure 8, and in some cases as the ouroboros. This symbol has been at the forefront of our training lately.

Torque -
"Moment" is the general term for the tendency of one or more applied forces to rotate an object about an axis (the concept which in physics is called torque). Rotational analogues of force, mass, and acceleration are torque, moment of inertia, and angular acceleration, respectively.(Taken from Wikipedia)
