Chi only exists if you believe in it.

Talk amongst yourselves.

:smiley:

God only exists if you believe in he/she/it.
:smiley:

Do I need to believe in oxygen to breath?
No.

Same with ā€œChiā€, it is there if you believe in it or not.

:smiley:

here you go, Oso…

:rolleyes: :smiley:

mwaahaahaa haa ahaa chgu bfrui chki chu cugh

actually, I’ve been told by several folks that the two most
important things you need for chi cultivation are imagination
and visualization.

or you could go the Carlos Castenada way and just get high
all the time.

but that’s cheating. seriously.

people that get high to ā€˜expand’ their senses are cop out
pussies (small cats) that haven’t got the guts to work hard
enough to get there without the ā€˜mind expanding’ drugs.

you still got to believe. so, NO TROLL.

ha-HA !

don’t you feel double suckered now?!?

HA-ha.

echgflemuchg

huh, I thought pussies would be all ******* out.

now, it just looks kinda stupid with the (small cats) thing.

LOL at u guys

anyways i think chi exists - although there’s usually a scientific theory that can explain all the strange phenomana (spelling?) that occurr.
whatever u are comfortable with believing

sceientific studies have proven that the body is capable of great feats if the mind is fully convicted in believing it can do something (whether that person truly believes in chi, is on drugs, or is just plain insane)
of coarse there are factors such as hormones, adrenaline, etc that are attributing to this unusual physical exertion. but like i said, whatever suits u (just for example: the old story of a woman lifting a car to save a child- i’m not saying this is a fact)

so i suppose it doesnt matter if chi truly exists, as long as believing in its existence continues affecting people’s performance and pushing them to new limits. if merely the strong belief in chi can dramatically affect physical performance than it may as well exist , for all intents and purposes

HOLY SHIITE!

Bravo !

but, as you have said…

you gotta believe…

I don’t believe in George Bush, but he exists :smiley:

prove it.

You saying that you need proof that your own President exists?

I see a man running his mouth. But not a PRESIDENT.

If by qi you mean breath, I don’t think anyone here doesn’t believe in it.

If by qi you mean animating energy, I don’t think anyone here doesn’t believe in it.

If by qi you mean that through practice one can direct his or her breath and/or animating energy into a more powerful expression of martial technique, you may have some dissenters. Most of these dissenters will say that good body mechanics and careful timing is responsible for the more powerful expression of martial technique, and it is debatable whether or not that is actually a function of breath or especially animating energy

If by qi you mean that through practice one can direct his or her breath and/or animating energy into ghostly fireballs/empty force that can knock down a resisting opponent without going to the trouble of actually making contact, you’re full of crap.

Definitions, please.

Hear hear :smiley:

Still doesn’t answer the question - you don’t think he exists?

nope.

never seen him in person. just an image on a tv screen.
not proof enough for me.
