what is Qi/Ki exactly?...


Recommended Posts

ok..maybe this has been asked many times, and maybe its a sin if i dont know it, but, hey i am new to the martial arts scene...but what is Qi/Ki?

..are there many descriptions and definitions? is it jsut the mental aspect of these arts?..ive just started shotokan but ive also been interested in the mental side of martial arts, to build confidence, and hell, a little inner peace...hehe.., but should one first understand the style one is in before trying to understand and delevope the mental side and/or the QI/Ki?

IMHO the circulating life energy that in Chinese/Japanese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health.

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders

of its own accord before there are any actual

hostilities...It is best to win without fighting.
