One of the biggest mysteries come out of the eastern arts is internal energy. Wudan arts, like Pa Kua Chang and Tai Chi Chuan and Hsing i claim it. Supposedly it takes lifetimes to create this thing called internal energy, but when you get it you can defeat attackers with just a sigh and a wave of the palm.
Well, the truth of the matter is that internal energy, called chi, or ki, is in many arts, and if it is not, it can be put into any art easily. The principles of internal energy, you see, are very basic, though they take a certain amount of patience. So if you study kenpo or tae kwon do, or even boxing, then get set to step through the door, this article is going to lay out those principles.

When I was growing up, in the fifties, there was this strange beast called the martial arts. People could defend themselves with little effort, merely through the use of this strange energy called ki. Heck, women could beat up attackers, and even children could defend themselves using this thing called Karate.
I explored Kenpo, and Goju, and judo, and all manner of the combative arts, and I found little trace of this mysterious energy. Mostly, you just kicked and hit the air, and I began to believe that ki might be more of a looney tunes than a reality. Still, I heard the rumors of little men in pajamas able to do the most incredible thing which, even though they seemed a bit muscular, touted this strange energy called Ki.

Chi, that mysterious vapor that the ancient masters used to defeat attackers without touching them. A secret force of the body that enables people to live long and healthy lives. Heck, there is even evidence that Chi was behind the success of the Jedi Knights…grin.
Lots of mystery surrounding Chi, lots of things that people don’t understand. Yet, it has to follow rules. If it manifests in the universe, then there are ways to define and describe the way chi functions.
