I think there is a difference the “concept” of Ki and Qi. ( note I said “concept” )
according to ancient chinese… whatever you want
the human energy is split into three forms. jing, Qi and Shen.
Jing is the raw power. essense of life. Uncontrolable
Qi is the stuff that flows through our body when Jing changes form. It is controlable. But not really usable. Keeps us alive and our vitals running.
Shen is the stuff that gives us the ‘energy’. It comes from Qi afer it has changed form. We feel high when we get too much of it. we feel recharged in the morning because we have just got plenty of Qi so we have alot of Shen to use. also, when Qi is channelled, it can turn into shen to use in fighitng.
So in a sense, fighintg Ki is Shen and not Qi
but if one culture does not make that distinction between them, well, there is no difference.
as far as the ‘morning’ part is concerned. I am certain there is somehign wrong with my Shen system. I am never recharged.
I saw that documentary and I must say it was one of the most pathetic things remotly related to chi gong that has ever been covered on that channel.
The idea of allowing everyone in the class to hit you in the throat and kick you in the groin to recieve your black belt is one step above paying for it.
Please do not flame me and tell me that I dont know what I am talking about for that was not a harsh uneducated statement. I am a teacher of gin gon tzu li gong , a high level medical qigong and I can assure you that his way can be compared to the that of the health clubs that offer Tai Chi for stress relief…
Ron Kazynski or whatever his name is, that guy is a fraud and has been exposed numerous of times. What I personally find amusing was when one guy got kicked in the groin, he walked away limping. Oh yeah that stuff REALLY protects you!
Why do you think Discovery channel did a documentary on him
Because they knew far fetched BS like that sh!t he makes up would bring in a high revenue. After all - Mr.Joe Public knows jack-fcking-sh!t about Martial Arts. For all he knows Origami will protect you. Tell the fcking D.Channel to go film some endangered seals.
Through proper meditation these Martial Artist can withstand almost anything
You get one to meditate infront of me - and see if it makes his skull anymore resistant to my Iron bar.
They could beat any other black belt in any other style!
Yeah, and BJJ is superior :rolleyes: Anyone else on TrollCon 5 here?
So you saying, this magical energy will make their skull less likely to fracture when I hit it? Why is this ancheint secret being with held from us? lol
'till they hit their mid-30’s, guys are big kids who just think they are grown men. After age 35, they got some smarts under their belt, so they cruise along for about 10 years, slam into a mid-life crisis, and decide they are 22 again. This is why sales of flashy red sportscars are so large - you get 'em coming and going. The only time a guy will willingly purchase a sensible car is between 35 - 45, when he realizes he can’t fit the wife AND the kids in his red two-seater.

OUCH Jas - very ouch. I’m 17 and consider myself an adult! You came near me with that red-car crap and I’ll pass you more than the salt!
And FYI it’s a 1967 Triumph Spitfire in British Racing Green - and the wife and kids aren’t allowed near it!!
I just turned 35 and more fit than a lot of people
(Really fit -Pit Bull body)
Wing chun chicks turn me on.(Really, any martial arts chick turns me on)
