simi Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 What is chi in karate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Karate practitioners are probably more likely to refer to it as Ki, which is the Japanese interpretation of the word.As far as focusing it, many use meditation, and some use the force of the body generating power to manifest it. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simi Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Is this name breathing in english?. In How many methods do we do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnMiller Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 KI (japanese) Chi (chinese) Qi (chinese) I see your from India, Simi. If I remember right, "Kundalini" is what it would be in India. KI is vital life force or vital. Some say it is the breath others go deeper with the meaning. To me it is the transference or energy and intent, which doesn’t have a little to do with breath. Practice makes permanent, not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnMiller Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 It’s not that simple of a translation from what I have been told by a Japanese diplomat that is also a karateka. He told me Ki can mean lots of things as far as translation, It depends on the subject in which KI is used But from what I understand the Chinese meaning of the word CHI when you are relating it to martial arts or T.C.M it is Life force, Life energy, or Vital Energy. In English that would be Bio electricity. Practice makes permanent, not perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
