Shooting Chi from the finger tips?

**Oso** · 01-12-2003, 07:09 AM

Ok, here are my 'true story' tales

I saw a guy do soft breaks on a stack of 3 2" cap blocks.
Broke the bottom one on the first strike, then the middle
then the upper one.

Only time I've seen someone else do something like that.

Personally these are my tales:

After a 3-4 hour workout training different chi kungs from
tai chi/hsing yi/bagua I feel like I saw a hazy glow around my
own hands.

After doing a really long session of static 8 mother palm chi kung
in moving from the grasping palm to forward palm I thought I saw
a 'pop' of light between my hands for a second.

Heat, vibration etc are normal for me during any chi kung or while
doing a form (either external or internal) or during a particularly
strenuous sparring match.

but, I'm sure I was imagining all of it.

me too, talking about it is always an opening for someone to
flame you though...

the topic of chi is almost turning into one of those " do you think tupac is really dead" questions. Personally, I do believe chi exists as an energy source, and that people can "channel" their chi into a technique. Just no one I've ever seen. As far as the spirit bomb thing goes.... well .... remember, baby steps.

A wushu guy on a show WMAC masters did this once. It's a cool trick, but I don't think it's "chi". Did they he use spacers?

**Oso** · 01-12-2003, 09:10 AM

No spacers.

4-6" drop with an open palm, minimal physical force with the palm
or body, the shoulder was not above the arm meaning that
there was no push with the body.

but, like I said, I'm sure I imagined it.

Oh come on.... that break is too easy. Only when I perform this task, I prefer to break the middle brick first. In fact, I've perfected it to a level where I strike the stack of bricks, and instead of breaking one of the bricks in my stack, a brick from someone else's stack in another county mysteriously shatters. That's chi in action.

what does it matter...

unless you can do it on command then what use is it? Can you **** on command? If someone jumped in front of you and said he was going to kick yer ass , could you **** right there? Probably not.. so unless they can shoot their chi on command then what good is it. If I or anybody else can still punch them in the head then it is pretty much a useless combat skill. If its bad for you then i'd say its an even more useless skill....

Leave my bricks alone, dam mit.

you got your own, these are mine.

**Godzilla** · 01-12-2003, 07:25 PM

I saw Van Dam do this in a movie once...break the bottom brick that is.

Sometimes I believe in chi sometimes i dont. lately i believe chi is really when an excellent martial artist performs a technique on a lesser skilled individual and awes that person. for example, dr yang performs a chin na finger, arm or neck lock and it 'shocks' the person so that they cannot move. it locks their body and dr yang barely used any strength. It's technique, but some may consider that chi.

Another example would be my aikido instructor effortlessly flipping me onto my arse...again, technique, but so beautifully executed, you can believe it's chi.

Does that make sense?

Truly,

To be serious, I've seen someone move a ball around in their stomachs and say they were moving their chi.

I've seen dr yang touch a guy's shoulder and his whole arm went dead.

why is it any chi threads get ripped and have a dragonballz reference in almost every thread?

Its like theres some sort of KFO brigade that hunts down any chi-related threads and are sent to DESTROY!!!

in answer to the original question, havent seen anyone do it myself, but have spoken to a few people who say they have. The things they say are much like what you mentioned with the heat without contact.

Oh I believe in chi and all that, however I am a skeptic about firing it out of finger tips like a weapon.
