I used to roll with this one guy who was into wing chun and he had a pretty interesting story regarding this type of stuff. He told the story after my usual bashing of martial arts mysticism, most notably the crazy stories about Morihei Ueshiba dodging bullets and that sort of thing. But I digress, here's the story this guy told me.
When this guy was a kid, he got into a lot of fights. He never believed in any martial arts or magic. One day he met a kid from vietnam at his school who claimed he knew some powerful MA (by kid I mean low teens) taught to him by his family back in their village. My friend didn't believe him, and asked him to prove it. So then the vietnamese kid made three quick motions with his hands around my friend's chest area, but never made contact. My friend says he didn't notice anything until the next day....... when three small bruises appeared right where the other kid made the motions with his fingers!
Ever since then he has been somewhat of a believer of chi like energy field stuff. I can't know if the story is true or not, but it was very interesting. -

Visit Yellowbamboo.com. You have to give your e-mail address. Then you can watch some really silly videos of yellow bamboo devotees kiaing and sending other devotees flying into the air from 30 feet away. I think if you pay them a lot of money, go live on their island, and pay them a lot more money, they will convince you that you should jump in the air and have a spaz attack when somebody kiai's at you.Comment

Puahahaha... Yellow Bamboo is some funny shiet, guys!!! I can see the headlines now, "Old Woman Blows Away Attackers With Wave of Hand."
It's safe to say that Yellow Bamboo techniques only work on Yellow Bamboo Island. Because once you're off the island, the same guys that keep getting blown away aren't there anymore...Comment

The people who do it are probably very suggestable and so it probably does work on yellow babmoo island. It probably makes them happier and more confident so perhaps it's worth the money. And perhaps if they try it in real life, the attacker will be so suprised that they will fly backwards...Comment

I nominate you to travel to Yellow Bamboo island and learn its secrets. Then, go into the worst neighborhood imagineable and blow away its hoodlums. If and when you succeed, I'll be the next person to join the Yellow Bamboo team.Comment

I think that Yellow Bamboo may well be the same as Yellow Snow. Just a load of piss.

Now what exactly is wrong with Aikido?An art less practical than Aikido!
They have good ukemi and solid footwork. The strikes are absent, the techniques are iffy, but hey, nobodies perfect.
You are better off taking Aikido than a lot of other stuff.Comment

I apologize for the interuption....
Mr. Szczepankiewicz,
I have the first class tickets to Yellow Bamboo Island ready for you to pick up. As requested, your return date is one year from now.
Remember to stop by the main office ASAP when you arrive for your mandatory frontal lobotomy which is required of all new students.
Have a great time and don't forget to empty your bank account and bring it all with you in the form of cash.
Your destiny awaits you.
YB
Carry on...Comment

Okey dokey, I hate to say this but I believe in Yellow Bamboo Island......
NOT! I have always believed in Chi, and still do, but this is ridiculous. When people advertise for this kind of thing, they usualyl try to put in just a little bit of practicallness, but apparently these people have lost all sanity.
Heres a quote from their website:
Whether you desire love, money, fortune, fame, godliness, holiness etc whatever you want Yellow Bamboo provides.
This definetly sounds like a cult. And why's it called Yellow Bamboo? Is that what they smoke when they're there? Have you ever seen those diet programs where to get in you have to buy like $2,000 worth of diet bars? Well this is probably the same, but you have to either buy a load of Yellow Bamboo or smoke it to the point where you think you make people fly 30 feet by poking the air in front of them.
