    It is possible as I have been able to do so againts some grapplers but it won't make you invincible because I was taken down by someone who didn't now how to grapple ( thank God).

    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    RD: found this on one of the sites from your search:
    Chi abilities range from the simple Chi Blast, which basically knocks down all the enemies on the screen, to the more complex Counter Combo, which allows for you to execute a combo after blocking an enemy attack and use your Chi to finish them off. Chi attacks can be powered up by various tablets that are scattered about the worlds, each representing an element of nature: Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Lightning. Picking up a tablet will change Tai's Chi Blast into something relevant to that particular element, with some very good looking and violent results.

    Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
    Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
    Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
    Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
    Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
    It is right and it is duty.
