Nice try but dont avoid the question.

I have stated the chi construct when considered with martial arts...


yes and how did you test it, what did you do or could do using this.

The use of chi as a learning method is not required to be great fighting. In fact it is more of a hindrance for many because they are chasing a dream instead of concentrating on the basics, timing/distancing and technique. I like to think of it as something that is taken into consideration after the foundations have been put in place.


my point was and is that if one uses "qi" as part of what ever they do, this is the basic underlying concept by which many other aspects work and are said to work

Its not the use of qi as a learning method, its what it enables one to be able to do when this aspect is developed.
this reflects some of the training we did back in the day....David Chin met him, very cool guy,,,was one of Mikes, http://focusingemptiness.com/index.php/additional-photos#WhiteCrane teachers.

How have you test it to understand your own abilities? Are you even talking about martial arts or about something else?


kind of depends on the style how its used...with things I used to do it enabled different type of palms,,,along with iron arm and some body conditioning.
With the things I do now its a little different. . About said all I can or will say on this....
I've found my own truth, others have theirs.

(Human) Chi - a metaphorical construct used to abstractly describe many things ranging from air to life energy. So everything we do uses chi ...

As you said it's not a direct learning method. So ignore chi and get on with good learning methods and the (human) chi will flow better. So we are back to the point I made earlier - there are many good martial artists that dont care about chi becuase they focus on the practising learning methods that work.

To bring this back to the origjnal videos - are what they are doing a useful method for martial arts? I can understand a small facet for it's use in attuning awareness. If that is a small part in training then ok. But these guys are having a laugh or are plainly delusional.
