Does this mean that the force is real too? Like nowaday's we can be Jedi's and walk around kick people's asses? Is Chi actually what the "force" is? Do We all have metachlorines?

Just a few questions......

allow me to help get rid of the b.s.
some say chi is this or chi is that.. whatever
anyone I know who uses it it train would probably describe it as a sensation. Not a super power. It is a "pleasurable" sensation that occurs with the most effective posture. Could be associated with increased blood flow or just where your attention is. However because proper coordination and technique generally alow for more power and speed as well as the most effective angle to effect an opponents center of mass, those who can move with this awareness seem to do things more effectively. This is just skill. Awarenes of chi will help you to that skill, but it is only a tool. No Magic bs of empty force and all that nonsense, just skill.

See now, that makes relative sense. However alot of people see "Chi" or "Ki" as some mystical force that makes you some sort of invincible fighter. Obviously, this is not true, but it has become an aceepted definition of "Chi."That is the problem.
