Martial Law Posted July 21, 2003 Posted July 21, 2003 i do a hard style of martial art and ki isnt really tought to me. I know what it is but i would like to know if a hard stylist can benefit from using ki. Be like the water - Bruce Lee
StoneSkin Posted July 22, 2003 Posted July 22, 2003 you do practice breathing in your hard style dont you ? The translation of Ki,CHi,Qi is breath.
starchild Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 You could benifit from using ki. If you know how to focus your ki into a weapon and cause injury itself then combining it with physical blows should produce more damage when used.
Tao Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Even with a hard style there are yin and yang type of attacks which you can use ki projection with and make it that much more effective.
jeffrogers Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 depends I heard several definetions of Ki or energy training. Its just for harder hit. Some of the methods is like what pro sprots players use like foot ball. Were they work out there core. and use there stomach muscles to throw the ball harder. basically usign gthe whole body. Stomach, lats alot of muscle groups in conjuntion to tie it in with the breathing. -jeff

So is this martial artists using a biomechanics trick found in football training, or football players using a qigong found in martial arts? https://www.clearsilat.com
jeffrogers Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 good question. Neither its taught in both. both alot of principles for power generation are taught in sports also are in martal arts. They tie into each other. -Jeff
granmasterchen Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 yes this can help you being a striker based fighter. I grew up training as a striker and learned ki but i learned it as another one of its many names, chi, here i used it to break bricks, after years of training i learned how to focus it more naturally and apply it to all my strikes. Therefore my strikes became very very powerful to say the least, i can now break concrete with ever hard surface of my body with out having to build up and go through the normal wait of breathing and such.... hope that helps you with your question That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger
