    What were Bruce's views on Chi? Do any JKD schools
    put any emphasis on this?

    that's a good question! Do you think that sensitivity drills are a form (not 'the', but one small facet) of Chi development? Like Chi soa for instance, and where it's energy originates?

    I, for one, don't believe that the attribute of sensitivity (which is what chi sao is used to develop) has anything to do with the ever elusive 'chi'. I don't think Bruce really bought into it chi either. He was more concerned with perfomance improvement through drills and exercise.

    Westerners like the idea of some mysterious powerful force that allows the little man to beat the big man without much effort. It appeals to our lazy nature.

    i disagree

    i believe in chi but no bull shit like a death touch
    or using a finger to take one person down.
    i believe more along the lines of dragon ball (mind you)
    that you can increase your body attributes a bit by concentration. and meditation brings you to a peaceful mind. alowing u to fite unconsciously.
    i believe that chi might also have to do with god (you argue that to ur own beliefes i dont mean to offend).
    Please come and tell me where i stand
