I really don't know how to get it. I've felt it from Kenji Ushiro, the shindo-ryu kyoshi. You know when you've felt it because it doesn't feel like anything else. But I try not to worry about it because most of it comes simply from practice. A lot of practice. People really underestimate how much practice it takes to be that good at anything. I imagine Ushiro Sensei has practiced Kata and Kumite 100 hours for every one hour I have. So yeah, ki or chi isn't the most important thing to worry about. Just make sure you're getting better from day to day.Kamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216057008638038108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872567907827989083.post-81243602119882077632012-07-27T19:44:22.633-07:002012-07-27T19:44:22.633-07:00Could it be that the definition of chi is as nebul...Could it be that the definition of chi is as nebulous as the substance itself?Yamabushihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004639963569899960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872567907827989083.post-20582678731069372042012-07-27T18:05:42.825-07:002012-07-27T18:05:42.825-07:00Thanks for the mention.

It's like trying to focus on that little squiggly thing in your eye. When you try to focus on it, it slips away, but when you just allow your eyes to be, there it is...Journeymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00146093025259375890noreply@blogger.com
