Re: HOLY....

You don't happen to be burning anything during these "breathing excercises" are you?

I'm not saying I don't believe what you are saying is impossible... I've seen shows on television about the chi thing... I don't remember anyone doing any jumping, but I do remember them saying something about stopping someone's heart by touching them... they also related this to those munks who burned themselves...

But, I find it very, very difficult to believe everything you're saying... unless I actually see it, or if I knew you personally and trusted you, there is little you can do to make me believe... (you could videotape it though...)...

No, I was not burning anything.  As for your skepticism, I understand fully - these things do need to be seen.  The only problem w/ the video camera is that unless you know how to "see" energy, it wont look like anything.  Then again, you cannot truly "see" Chi energy, its more of a feeling you get - like there is something more to what you see.  Something is always very noticeable about the hands as well - they always look "different."
As for stopping hearts and such, yes, this can be done.  There are approximately 2,350 pressure points. trigger points and Meriadian control points across the body.  Of these, about 750 are lethal, causing either instant death, or death very soon.  There is scientific fact to back this up - certain nerve groups in the forearm go directly to the Brais'n center for involuntary movement and action.  A heartbeat is involuntary - you dont have to think about it beating, do you? If you interrupt the center, ALL involuntary actions cease, depending on the point.

So what kind of chemicals do I need to ingest to "see" this energy?

Re: HOLY....

Yeah.

Well, I have been doing Aikido for 6 years.  There is alot of legends around the founder.  He could take on 8 guys up untill he died, he did train the most of the elite units in Japan, and in general was a badass mother smurfer.  But, he did not, and could not, outrun bullets, fly around the world and make time go backwards, jump large buildings, or breath icy wind.  Sorry.

Re: HOLY....

It seems obvious what's going on, we're all living in the Matrix and the martial artist who could outrun bullets was one of Neo's predecessors. So the real question is, do I control my Mac or does it control me? wink

PS-People see weird stuff all the time, I remember a friend in school telling me he could see car wheels running in reverse sometimes, just like wagon wheels sometime look in old western movies. When i asked if he saw this under streetlights or flourescents, he said no that it was in sunlight, which to this day makes me wonder what the refresh rate of the sun is  smile

Maybe he only though that because he wasnt directly looking at them

Re: HOLY....

I've seen the carwheel thing a few times. As for the site, go to the main page, go to the movie section. You will find something that will SUCK the credibility from that site. Those two fatal words: Steven. Segal.

The only good movie he was in was Executive Decision, because he died in the first 30 minutes. He still got top billing on the movie tho, I dont get that

Re: HOLY....


OK... yes and no.  Running past the speed of light is IMPOSSIBLE, look at Physics, as is Teleportation. 
Fireballs are also impossible, HOWEVER, using Chi you can accomplish similar goals (sounds odd, I know).  Flying? Umm... does being thrown count?As for Jumping, I have jumped 11 feet vertically, but, this prolly nothing to do w/ Martial Arts.  What's the high jump record?
HOWEVER, I have seen Auras MANY times, both around my Sensei, myself and certain other instructors and students.  Additionally, I see motion ghosts in certain techniques - there is an ancient Tai Chi kata I know that takes around 20 minutes to perform.  Each movement is done VERY slowly (like 2 minutes to throw a punch), but, you can still make out very clear motion ghosts.  I know it seems to make no logical sense, but, its true.  Additionally, I have shattered a cinderblock just by dropping my hand, completely relaxed, on it.  No strenght or power was used - simply pure relaxation.  Certain breathing exercises will actually distort th appearance of the room - I once helped Sensei demonstrate one of these, and the room's walls literrally WAVED.  And no, I wasn't hit in the head.  Along these lines, while performin San Chin (ancient breathing kata), you can see a perfectly strait line extending from the top of the torso down to the base of the gut, expanding and contracting as the breaths are taken and released.  I have shattered windows with Kiais.  I have thrown a 400 pound man 14 feet across the Dojo floor - all by simply rotating my hips.  Now, Dragon Ball Z stuff is f'ing dumb, but this stuff is real.

High jump record is something like 2.5m, which is about 7.5 feet.

True words aren't eloquent;
eloquent words aren't true.
Wise men don't need to prove their point;
men who need to prove their point aren't wise.
