how does chi to work?? i studied physics in highscool, and dont see where chi fits in. i rem a girl tried to show me some karate stand that was "perfect" and made it so she could hold all the weight on her body. then she says "1 finger out of place..." and her knee like dropped. i suspected she did this on purpose. but i keep hearing references to it now. i thought maybe the position of the legs spread the force out or something, but if that was the case, fingers wouldnt make a difference.
*points to the Tai Chi Thread* Matt we have a thread down here that could answer some questions and more than likely make new ones. http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65056
Depends on what you believe to chi to be. And there are a lot of theories. Personally I think most of it is down to mental attitude.
Here are some more chi / qi threads from days gone by. Happy memories. http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60813 http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62320 http://www.martialartsplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62584&page=4&pp=15 I'm staying out of this...
