i thought this video was very cool, but i always was under the impression chi was’nt real? After i watched the mma fighter owning the fake aikido chi master or whatever art he was i thought chi was’nt real, But after this video im just plain confused… im not sure how this can help in a fight…but its still cool. :happy7:
lol - I teach that trick*, basically a focused punch pushes “wind” into the candle and puts out the flame; you can actually do it from a good distance away, but a inch or so is easiest. Not chi, just a basic trick… I have 7 year olds in my kids class that can do it.
*We do it for fun around the holidays not as a “real” thing. It is just a trick.
My old Chun school had the putting out of a candle with a side punch as a requisite for Black Sash Grading. As LARPtastic as that was, it was nothing to do with Chi.
stop posting bitches!
im going to ask phrost if i can be a mod so i can close this thread.
it sucks.
damn you filipinoninja for such a shitty thread!
I hate you now.
As has already been stated, the candles are blown out by the wind created by a focussed punch. If it was just ‘chi’ doing it, why is the punch needed at all?
This clip of another supposed chi-manipulator making use of the same basic idea may prove informative for those who haven’t seen it.
