@xxbrokenwishesxx in china use it? and does acupuncture mean anything to you?
i don't know you but i do know that you could not do a 1 inch punch as well as any one else- that is an extremely arrogant comment as there can always be better, qigong does not give you the skills to fight, but it can give you a better awareness of your body, allowing you to practise martial skills with more efficiency
@xxbrokenwishesxx chi kung is not a sham just the majority of "masters" (including chia) are. qigong is about cultivating ones awareness and a calm state of being, giving one the upper hand when it comes to a fight. but obviously skill is needed, that is why tai chi(a martial form of qigong) was formed. as for your views on chi, i think you have misunderstood the concept. i suggest you have a look at the scientific experimentson chi. and if qigong was a sham, would the majority of hospitals -
Your conversation here cracks me up. Frantzis and Chia both have good stuff -- study it, and you will see. Then you don't need to argue all the time. lol
Also, what are your thought no religions in general? Would you consider belief in God unscientific? How about religions which practice meditation as part of their "religious technology"? (budhism). I'm inclined to believe that spirtuality aside, meditation may be a helpful tool for mastering yourself and promoting mental health.
Finally on the topic of ironshirt - the T'ai Chi methods of redirecting power through grounding are intruiging - I'm inclined to believe there's something to it.
pretending chi exists for the duration? I'm not making a case for Chia here - although many other the things he teaches clearly aren't his invention - the standing Chi Kung is a staple of IMA which I'm fairly sure works (if not for the typically stated reasons). I take it you have an objection to anyone making money from perpetuating the existance of chi? BKF is an interesting case as I'm inclined to believe he has martial skill from his demos but he's heavily into the chi. Thoughts here?
Chi are very uncanny and require a pretty good grounding in physics to explain. Now whether this translates into fighting skill is another matter. I must admit I'm drawn to the practicioners (Carmel, Miller, and others) who can both demostrate and explain their skills in language that a modern westerner can understand without requiring too many leaps of faith and contradictions with understood science. The other point is if a method is demonstrably effective then does it matter if it involves
i find some of mantak chia daoism very strange & unorthodox.
he does some really strange stuff.
