Recently I was reading about an internal arts teacher (ken Gullette) who does not believe in Qi at all.
I see nothing wrong with his skeptisim, I dont think you need to believe in it to use it.
So who here has a firm belief in qi, and can relate experiances as to why to beleive in qi? Who does not, and why?
Regards,
Gary R.
Gary, what’s to believe? What’s not to believe? 
I am a firm believer in Qi. I don’t think it has any mystical powers and Qi projection is about as real as my chances to win powerball.
Duh. There is no disputing the existance of Qi.
We can, however, spend endless hours debating what the concept translates to in western terms, or trying validify various manifestations and details of Qi as a phenomenan.
Me? I prefer to just feel the Qi and ignore the bullXhit.
Yes
I’ve felt it while doing Tai chi. I don’t know really how to use it in a fight, but I’ve never truly tried. And I really don’t have anyone to train me on this any more.
I went to an acupuncturist one time, YES, I felt it then as well. Check it out some time…very enlightening experience.
I think Sam Wiley hit it on the head when he said, we all have preconceived notions of Chi. To the acupuncturist it was very practical, nothing mystical or magical in the least. It was just as a doctor examines a patient and recommends a treatment. Very everyday, usual, chalant. When I do Tai Chi and feel it, it isn’t mystical or magical. It is there (or maybe I’m doing it wrong).
Peace.
I still believe in the Easter Bunny.
And Santa Claus.
And the Tooth Fairy.
And the Bogeyman.
I’m happy.
What the hell is Qi?
How the hell do you use it?
Your one hell of a troll!
Im happy too.
raising my hand
jah I do beleive
Yes.
Don’t ask me to try to explain it though, I’d just confuse myself.
I don’t believe in qi as an unknown and undescribable substance.
I believe that it may represent a quality of cooperation between the various systems in the body. Who knows…
Yes …Yes… i am a believer!!
I can see the light !!!

I believe in Qi.
[sarcasm] I believe you can use it to throw a concussion blast at your opponent and knock him on his butt. I believe you can use it to knock out candles. I believe you can use it to read another persons mind and see into the future. I believe you can use it to cause stuff to start on fire. I believe you can use it to move objects without touching them.[/end sarcasm]
I only believe that it will help protect you and make you strongers/faster in fights. Not some all powerful Force you can use like Jedi.
Hi.
Yeah, another believer here.
That is I don’t believe in the mystical Qi-Ball shooting and the like.
Somebody seen too much Dragonball methinks.
But the Qi I felt in my interal Arts training is real.
Wow, what weak minded people.I guess we all believe in Santa Claus to.
Sure I believe in Qi. The word refers to breath, blood, and vital energy. I’ve never met anyone without it.
Wow, what weak minded people.I guess we all believe in Santa Claus to.
Better than no minded. See CSN post above.
No life with out Qi
Have you ever tried to go scuba diving without Qi. Qi is important for running. When I use my dan tien, I fill with Qi.
Tinman should change his tag to Scarecrow…“If I only had a brain!”
Prarie and I seem to be in agreement.

Yeah Tinman sucks. Boring forum trolls are like underwear, everyone has at least one pair of them. Where’s Rolls? At least he provides some good entertainment.
