    And how is it that breath goes anywhere other than your lungs?

    well, oxygen gets transported into the blood and distributed around the body - that's one pretty straight forward way of "breath" getting around the body;

    the other way is the connective tissue network, especially deep connective tissue (e.g. -0 dural membranes); the wave-like propogation of the action of the breathing mechanism and its response to changes in pressure through the CT; this movement can be felt and facilitated by certain types of hands-on treatment (e.g. - cranial osteopathy) or certain types of physical exercise (qigong can do it, but so can yoga, as wel as more contemporary approaches such as Trager Work, Feldenkries and Alexander Technique, to varying degrees)

    CHI is air or water with in your body, and outside your body. The food, the oxygen you intake gives you more chi...Your cells release chi when you exercise and heat your body up an allow condensation to occur..

    The more you exercise strenously the more chi you release allowing your body to grow stronger...
    The Flow is relentless like a raging ocean with crashing waves devasting anything in its path.

    "Kick Like Thunder, Strike Like Lighting, Fist Hard as Stones."

    "Wing Chun flows around overwhelming force and finds openings with its constant flow of forward energy."

    "Always Attack, Be Aggressive always Attack first, Be Relentless. Continue with out ceasing. Flow Like Water, Move like the wind, Attack Like Fire. Consume and overwhelm your Adversary until he is No More"

    In a Nutshell

    Chi is ‘matter’ that progresses into energy and energy to spirit. Chi is the medium, or bridge, between matter and spirit.

    And any other definition could easily be consider hyperbolic and usually always falls in the category of prodigiousness while consistently backed with unnecessary narratives.
