Qi gong and Chinese kung fu can really fight in compettion ?

Qi gong and Chinese kung fu can really fight in compettion ? (except Sanshou, chinese kickboxing).





I heard some freak told me that their %26quot;qi%26quot; can easily beat the opponent in competition. i dont buy it. So, what u guys think ?





*im practicing muay thai btw.|||Ok I%26#039;ll take the bait.





Qi or Chi, is present in every martial art that I have ever heard of. Qi, is present in every living thing. If you want to call it something but don%26#039;t really understand what it is, then just try to imagine it being what I just wrote. It is the energy that is present in every living thing. Qi is not a super power.





The practice of Qi Gong, (sounds like Chee Gung) is to raise the level of this life energy in order to disperse it for a purpose. Kung Fu and Tai Chi grew out of Qi Gong. Note that the practice began to for use in medical treatment.





Yes, I do think that Qi Gong is very effective in competition. In my opinion a fighter like Randy Couture has very good Chi. He probably doesn%26#039;t call it that, but I would say a majority of the winning fighters in the MMA have some sort of practice that they use to instinctively raise their essentially energy levels prior to a fight.





An MMA example of a fighter who uses only instinct and emotion, no Chi would be Tank Abbott.





There is also a reason why we write the words as Qi or Chi in Modern English and if you read my answer carefully you can probably get an idea of what that is.|||If you have a choice, don%26#039;t fight the guy at all. If you have no way out why not challenge him to an MMA match? In my experience a coward will do anything to avoid being defeated fairly, in public. Report Abuse

I%26#039;m sure kung fu works, as for qi, I know adrenaline works, as well as a well focused strike will.|||Chinese Kung Fu is for self defense in the street, groin kick, eye gouging, spear hand technique among other things are forbidden in tournament so they wouldn%26#039;t do well in competition. However, %26quot;qi%26quot; alone can%26#039;t do anything, they also need technique. Chinese monks in China in the past had time, they train 24/7 so I am pretty sure they can fight because if that is all you do and don%26#039;t have to worry about going to work to pay bill then you must be proficient but Kung Fu practioners today are not dedicate enough, simpler but more practical technique like muay thai, tae kwon do, karate are more popular because you can learn those in a relative shorter period of time and nowaday nobody have alot of time.|||Only in very advanced stages of martial arts.





It would be suspect to see someone using this ability for public competition, as the chief aim of using this art is strictly for self-defense and the preservation of life.





For some, qi may sound like a mystical, ephemeral substance, but in actuality, it is akin to an electrical medium that permeates humans and thier immediate surroundings. Practicing qi gong during prescribed periods of the day (and year; esp during full moon periods) for more than 5 years, will allow the student to tangibly feel and see this medium. It is said that only then, will one come to believe in qi.





While this knowledge can be used in distance healing, it also has roots in martial arts. Advanced practitioners have the ability to stop, control and redirect the oncoming movements of an opponent, based on controlling their own thoughts and intentions. It is like an electrical matrix that surrounds both the practitioner and the opponent, except, that the practitioner has the ability to manipulate and control the direction in which this matrix, or qi flows (keep in mind that the human body is also made up largely of water, which is very conductive to electrical currents).|||The thing about kung fu is the strikes attack the pressure points (illegal in MMA) and focus on opponent debilitation. It%26#039;s unethecal to strike the neck of your opponent in a competition. Kung fu was invented for self defense, and self purification. Certainly it wasn%26#039;t made to fight people in non-lethal combat. Some people say Kung Fu sucks because you don%26#039;t see it prevelent in MMA which isn%26#039;t true. They just don%26#039;t know what they%26#039;re talking about. Krav Maga you%26#039;ll never see in MMA, but it%26#039;s very effective in real life.|||This is a video in which a master of Kiai fights an MMA fighter.

here is another link with Combat Ki vs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

both videos show Ki knocking out they%26#039;re OWN students, but always seem to fall short when it comes to fighting other styles.|||Chi does exist as its been scientifically proven with heat and electric sensors. Thats not the debate. The debate is whether or not someone is skillful with it enough to be able to defeat someone with it alone, which I doubt. Even if they could, it%26#039;d be so rare.





As for how effective Chinese Kung Fu is, its certainly stood the test of time. Huo Juan Xia was a tested Wushu Kung Fu user in the 1900s that defeated challenges from Western wrestlers and even defeated an entire Judo school.





Wing Chun is rated by many as the most effective stand up martail art along with Muay Thai.
