Anyone ever hear of Combat Ki? I was watching discovery channel and they had something called 'Combat Ki' on. I only saw people getting a 4 directional punch into the throat, a lady getting kicked in the groin area, a lady getting a hard elbow to the chest. I these are deadly moves, and i read a little on ki. All I got out of it was a certain breathing

 

technique

 

Anyone have comments or info on this?

It seems rather ridiculous to me. I saw the show as well, and it claims to be good for self-defense. But, if I understand correctly, these moves take a while to "charge up" and you have to concentrate. So, how is that going to work on the street? "Hold on a minute let me start sounding like static". I just question it's practicality. If someone can prove me wrong, please do. I don't really know much about it, that's just the first impression I got from it.

take a look in our Internal Arts Forum, they are often disscussing the powers of Ki and many educated people there may be able to assisst you better :)

Combat Ki, this is an oxymoron.

 

Ki is the spirit of the universe, central to peace and harmony. To put the word combat before it does not really make any sence at all.

I saw the show as well. I tend to agree with monkeygirl. I noticed though they were blindfolded "So they wont know when the attack is going to happen" The attack was not launched until the target person did a strong breathing tech. I found myself wondering if they must do that to take a strong shot? I will check out the internal forum to try and learn more......meet me back here with your findings :lol:

It's not just ki. They teach fighting techniques too, they just spend a lot of time on ki.

IMO that is dangerous and gives MA a bad name.

 

Its going to get someone killed. You don't take shots to the throat and walk away. Even if they have found a way to do it you don't put it on tv where every 10 year old can see it and try it. Stupid.

Like I've said before, I don't care how much training I have under my belt, or if I think I'm "bad", or others think Im "bad", I would not let a strike or any other strike come in unabated............unless of course I'm sleeping :o to any part of my body :kaioken:
