Study diligently and you will develope faith in yourself. Do that and everything else will follow.

I used to feel like that about and i am thirteen too. I started karate about a year ago so we are on about the same page here. What someone told me is that it doesnt really matter when you start practicing or believing in your case because what i was told was many great masters of martial arts (internal and external) started when they were grown up and pretty old (as in like 40 or 50 years old), so stop worrying your too old cause you deffinately arent.

ALso what my karate teachers tell me all the time is "You work and you work and you dont see any improvement for the longest time then it just all come together." We study chi alot at my karate class too and if you just keep on trying, even if it doesnt seem like its going anywhere, eventually it will just all come together. It doesnt matter if you rpactice every day or once a week, its going to come together eventually.

I think any 13 year old mature enough to know how to properly use "contradict" in a sentence should be able to manifest Chi..(i'm 15 and I can)

Just as a comment, internal energy does not contradict the belief in g-d. In fact, in the kabalah which is a jewish text, they talk about internal energy. I dont know if your jewish, but just liek christianity or Islam, it is a monotheistic religon (belief in one god), and so ki does not affect the belief in g-d at all. G-d created so much, what makes us so sure we can see everything G-d created, maybe there are things we dont even know are there because our human senses cant pick them up. Ki might just be something that most of us dont believe in because it can not be easily identified with the five senses.

Also, i'm thirteen too, or now fourteen, and the best way to just get good at this time of thing, is practice. I've realized that i should practice more often and since a few weeks ago, i've been trying to practice everyday for an hour or two. School gets in the way though.

You know, I think it's almost easier to start when you're older...you aren't so blindly accepting, you can question more, and because you question more, you can understand more. We teens are the lucky ones. We still have our whole lives in front of us to question and wonder....

I'm 16, got into this when I was 14. Really, no age is too old to start. I mean, that's like saying you're too old to believe in fairires and Never Never Land!
