WHEN IT COMES TO CHI: DO ONLY WHAT YOU CAN DO & BE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

One can assemble a great deal of reference material,such as, books, photos, magazines, newspapers & clippings, and the like, not to mention anecdotes and testamonials galore, to bolster the claims of both distinct camps on the issue of Chi, Ki, Ghi, Prana, Kundalini, etc.,etc. These camps consist, of course, of those who believe wholeheartedly,if not fanatically, in the existence of such forces, powers, abilities, and the like, and of those who disbelieve entirely in such, which is dismissed a fraudulent, undemonstrable, explainable in physical or scientific terms or as sheer nonsense. Marvelous feats and deed, often described as psychic, supernatural, mystical, or magical, have a strong appeal for people, regardless of culture, religion, or socieity and the literature of nearly all peoples is apt to be most overwhelming. For those in martial arts, of whatever persuasion, style, school or system, especially for nearly all beginners, young or old, THEPATH IS FRAUGHT WITH PERIL for those who seek to cultivate extraordinary powers of any kind, beyond physical prowness and mental focus and strewn with both failures and successes as well as pitfalls awaiting many.
