I’ve always been amazed at the unbelievable claims made regarding “chi” energy. A number of people I know personally have a solid faith in its existence. For those uninitiated in this particular belief system it’s like “the force” in Star Wars.

From
The Pathgate website:
Qi is the Intrinsic Energy which sustains the configuration and integrity of all forms and substances in the Universe. It is the Life Force which regulates the ebb and flow of the vitality of all things. It is referred to as rlung in Tibetan, prana in Sanskrit, ki in Japanese. Aristotle referred to it as the souls of energy that exist throughout nature where signs of life are to be found.

Trancecoachsays...At the end of this video there are some suggestions from the world famous martial arts master George Dillman regarding advanced combat techniques which may help you defend yourself against a “chi” attack, should an assailant decide to use their incredible powers upon you!
In summary these include:
A) Moving your tongue into a different position.
B) Moving your big toes up and down.
C) Being a skeptical about it whether it exists or not.
This debate is not going to go away. It seems likely to me that there must be something in it, I’ve just got no idea what.
Longswdsays...Sorry, but this should titled "When mimes attack". I saw nothing in this unreproducible by acting. Every "knock back" was accompanied by a terrestrial push off by the attacker(s).
Bruti79says...What would happen if someone who didn't believe in this stuff attacked him with their bare hands?
shogunkaisays...This is stupid... They were just stopping their punches and not attacking with any intention of following through. I hope they at least get paid to act like idiots.

grintersays...I'd love to see a similar video where the 'attackers' are blindfolded. They could just walk forward throwing punches, or swinging a baseball bat. Maybe they would fly backwards at just the right time... maybe not.
lucky760says...This is a joke, right? They're all obviously just (poorly) choreographing their moves.
(Pretty sure @Deano will kick this out of his "Skillful" channel. It could go into Comedy though.)
Bruti79says...I forgot about that video. I thought there was something like that, but wasn't 100% sure. I always like to use Betty White's line from Community for situations like that: "You use your self respect to defend yourself, while I use this cross bow."

TheSluiceGatesays...This is complete bullshit - a kung-fu version of people fainting and being cured at the alter of a super-church. Until we see someone launching a flying kick and then just stopping mid air like they hit a wall, then fuck right off. Nothing here is not reproducable by the likes of Derren Brown.
TheFreaksays...The only way you can watch this video and see proof of chi is if you're the kind of person who wants to believe so badly, that you don't need proof.
gwiz665says...The power of suggestion. Some people believe in jebus, other believe in this. The people rolling around on the floor in churches talking in tongues believe what they do too.
Crazy peoples.
Gregorioftsays...the king is naked
rottenseedsays...Here's what would really happen...

braindonutsays...I had a tai chi instructor (who was Chinese) who started my first class by showing videos like this. Then he stopped the video and said something to the effect of:
This is all a bunch of nonsense. None of this is real. Do not expect me to teach you anything like this.
The dude instantly won my respect. I was just there to learn a fun way to relax and because I thought it was beautiful. Apparently I was in the right place.
Drachen_Jagersays...He can get paid performers to act with the wave of a hand.
Impressive, but Spielberg gets more believable performances out of his actors.
If it's so damn effective why doesn't he reflect a rock thrown at his head?
Oh, bet he claims it only works on living beings right? How about I throw this cat at his head instead, think he can reflect something that doesn't choose to be reflected?
This is Yuri Geller B.S. anyone who believes this crap should have their head examined.
Deanosays...Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Deanosays...@lucky760 I can't see the remove video button from the channel. Just me?
**nochannel *wtf *90s
