What is Qi?

Qi is sometimes known as Chi or Ki. Qi is an integral part of Chinese Martial arts, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina Massage, and Acupuncture.

Firstly you cannot see Qi and the whole concept of Qi is outside standard western thinking. Qi is often translated many different ways depending on the author but they only describe and the meaning of Qi cannot effectively be translated. Common English words used include, vital force, essence,energy, breath, secret power, vital energy, life force.

Part of the reason that this doesn't translate well is that Qi does not just apply to Humans but is a vital force across the universe and this interaction between heaven and earth in the context of a human being is why the concept must be understood rather than simply translated as a word.

Qi Gong helps to regulate the flow of Qi and the different types of Qi within the body. The Chinese have a different view of the internal organs to western medicine and this further complicates the explanation. This concept that Qi nourishes the body and the mind and that stagnation or irregular flowing of Qi causes problems within the body is the principle behind Qi Gong. The movements within Qi gong massage the internal organs and help assists the flow and regulation of Qi around the body.

History of the WKA (World Kickboxing Association)

World Kickboxin AssociationThe martial arts are one of the most confusing sporting disciplines in the world, totally distinct from all other sporting connotations. You can only play football one way, tennis, rowing, running, gymnastics, and virtually every other sports discipline is practised to a universal conformity. Whereas the Martial arts which is a generic term generally used to cover combat forms from all over the world, is broken down into many various styles and forms of fighting. The term martial art as used today is meant to indicate fighting formats that originated in South East Asia.

There are many colorful and exciting disciplines encompassed within these indigenous fighting arts. From Japan we have Karate, jiu jitsu, judo, Aikido. From Korea there is Taekwon-do, Hapkido, Kuk-Sool –Won. From Thailand there is Muay Thai (Thai Boxing). Bando from Burma (Myan-Mar) from China there is the generic term Kung fu that encompasses at least five hundred different styles of empty hand fighting. The list is endless, and then here in the West we have the many various forms of wrestling and boxing. From France we have La Savate.
