...in silat the concept of chi is not the same....although they train the mind and soul...it involve the control of other being...the djin....i know this already went over your head...but bear with me....in supernatural and mysticism...the world are devided into 2 worlds...the real world...and the beyond world...

I've heard of djin (I think I've seen it spelled djinn) before. From what I understand they're supposed to be spirits that can be contacted and controled or bargained with? Please go into greater detail, what are they and how do they figure in silat?

Almost all Silat styles practice both "hard" and "soft" techniques within their respective curriculums. In Silat, the mind, body and spirit are seen as being in a state of togetherness, thus the training is directed towards the cultivation of the "person" as a "whole" and not just towards perfecting his or her fighting ability.

We certainly have this in common; the same can be said of the Shaolin Kung Fu I practice.
