With all motion related to any and all activities, Why is it only CMA and "especially" Taijiquan movements that create qi?
Perhaps members of this board could share what they think of this phenomenon.
Thanks

everything wrote:Huh? What about Qigong, baguazhang, etc., etc.? But a lot of taijiquan styles are done at a certain calm, smooth pace. Maybe that is one key.

All CMA use qi and express qi in what ever they do.
The distinction is in the expression of it and how its used.
For some styles the "qi" is used to reinforce the body, for others the body
is used to facilitate and use the "qi" directly. Some might use the words internal and external
to describe the distinctions.
Your question might be more related as to why or how the Chinese
came up with the idea of "qi" a very culturally oriented concept.

Yes it's true what you say about energy coming from food. At least that's what some people say. But I have found that the chi is actually coming directly from the forms themselves. So the question remains, why is it that only certain movements from certain Chinese martial arts that are creating Chi energy and no other motions?

One would have to show where this idea is presented in other cultures
or a similar idea producing the same results.
The word "qi" is Chinese no?
