Chi Power and martial arts hocus pocus are better saved for Halloween... They won't save a hair on your ass.
I've trained in Wu Style Tai Chi, Choi Li Fut and TKD which stress Chi, or Ki and have never found any reason to believe in Chi. More likely, Chi is an idea like the "center" that boxers focus upon.
I have also seen demonstrations of Chi, but demonstrations are demonstrations. I once asked a Chi Person to hit me, but he didn't... I'm assuming, he didn't want me to ruin his demonstration. Until these Chi people can withstand punches from people other than their peers or punch people through walls, it remains to be seen if Chi is factual.
However, I would be hard pressed to believe in Chi, because I've never felt it nor have it seen it really work in live-combat, or tournament for that matter. Besides, what good is Chi if you can break a brick but can't take a Muay Thai kick?
