What is the power of chi?

Chi is your "life force" a flow of energy that runs through and around your body. The power it holds can be impressive if you witness a person who has mastered his or her own chi. Powers include the ability to heal others and youself through touch, acupressure, or flow regulation through movements. People who have a great chi control can channel it to specific body parts to protect them, or inflict damage to an opponent. To truely master chi takes years of daily dedication and practice, the average martial artist or lay person interested in chi will only feel minimal effects from it. However you choose to think of chi, an electromagnetic bi-product of our bodys daily functions, or a mystical force that inspires the imagination. In my opinion there is no dobut that it is real and holds power, how much depends on how far you're willing to develope it.

True, for most it takes years of Dedication...

Yet there are those few where within a few months, or even a few days, who can work and feel its prescense. What are they called again...?

I'm not aware of a term for people who only after a short period of time can feel/control their chi. I do believe there are people who are more prone to grasping and controlling it faster than most. Just like how people who are "psychic" develop their gift during childhood out of nowhere it seems. Thats another answer bag section though! :)

Well, the best rough term I can come up with is a Chosen One. I can't remember the name for someone like it still. ::sigh::

I heard the term "chiagi" years ago, although I can't find it anywhere online. Sounds half Chinese (chi) and half Japanese (agi) so not sure if it's right...
