Lol, and I'd get that same look you got when you questioned that guy who told you to buy a talisman for your wife.

Let me give you an experience that I face once.. being drag by my partial superstitious wife and superstitious mother in law(what excuse can I give of not going when being drag by these two powerful people doh.gif) Ok.. continue....

I was draged to consult the chinese traditional oracle for new coming year(it is said that the chinese oracle were to "keep" anak hantu, that is why his prediction/forecast was damn accurate.... ) I do not buy such things and was skeptical about it....

upon entering his holy place, there`re lots of altar and statues of all kinds of deity.. some looked mythical, some looked intimadating... but then, I notice something else.... there`s small small coffin on the corners... with sweets, toys and milks surrounded them.. (that`s where the anak hantu is sleeping I suppose) and then our turn for "consultation"

being unwilling to go, but was "forced" to, I`d put my best in acting skill to practise.... I acted I was excited.. and I was shown random card and was being asked to choose one...

Once I choose, the sifu said "you dont even want to see/consult me.. why bother to come here?"
I was suprised blink.gif

my acting skill pecah tembelang?

Ahaha...

I`ll try.. but not from Feng SHui POV... from what I experience LAHH...
During martial art training, you need to focus when delivering an explosive move... when fosucing, you are actually, diverting all your enerrgy of your body to only a certain body part

In Taoism, it is better known as Life Force or what Jedi are referring to. And yes... energy... the all of it.. heat, kinetic, etc etc...........

Kinetic energy exist.  But super human feats, like flying or walking on water with your Qi,  that's a different story.  The supernatural idea of qi, is that your body can contain some form of energy other than the normal calories burn to kinetic energy.

Anyway, talking about kung fu, it is discovered that chinese martial arts are not as efficient as others (anybody watch the measurement on astro?). That explains Bruce Lee's westernization of the arts. The solid fist beats the complicated moves, which are suppose to increase your Qi.

A not related example, even the nanchucks which ppl think are hard hitting, actually have less force than if you hit directly with a stick of the same length.

Belief and fact sometimes do not tally. (sorry not addressing to you, just can't seem to state this enough)

western martial art uses muscle as fundamental strength

It is not always a superstitious scam. It is important to note, much of the knowledge behind it has been destroyed in during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, thru the passage of time and lost in translation. Learning feng shui is still somewhat considered taboo in today's China.

it is lost in mainland China, but the culture of fengshui, incent burning, hellnotes etc are still widely practised in HK, Msia, TW as well as Indonesia
