The human body is capable of such grace, such poise, and such power that it hardly matters if the physique of mastery is skilled in a martial art or a meditative one. Big Empire assembled a panel of eight nationally known yoga instructors, six prize-winning martial artists, and two pro wrestlers to come up with a list of the best things the human body can do. The wrestlers were outnumbered, but they turned out to be the loudest.

4. The Lung Puncturer (40)
3. Atomic Suplex (41)
2. The Horrible Leg Breaker (50)
1. The Pissed Swan (60)

You will notice that many of the moves in the top ten are not bound to one form of body art, and a few are yoga, wrestling, and martial-arts moves all at once. Although the voting was close, the Pissed Swan is a clear winner. The yogi balances upon one palm, tucking his legs into his torso and craning the other hand (the swan's head) over him. Hold for seven breaths. The martial artist waves both arms vigorously while rearing her head backwards; then, while her opponent is distracted by the rapid hand movements and the accompanying squawking cry, she head-butts her opponent full in the face. The professional wrestler must first gesture to the audience-a strutting and flapping motion-to make sure they are ready to see "The Pissed Swan." When the audience responds favorably, the wrestler climbs to the top turnbuckle, lifts both arms high into the air, then pirouettes upon the topknot and drops, back-first, upon the supine opponent. A beautiful maneuver in all cases. Try it today!
