in trouble again

Master Black Belt
Salute everybody
i got myself in trouble again
i had an argument with two of my cousins about QiGong and Tai Chi
I said that they can push a person and take him down to the ground without making contact. something like transmitting energy via air to hit the opponent.
both of my cousins didnt believe me, and they asked how this is happened.
can anybody back me up on this?
if you can provide like authentic, or scientific sites that can prove this could you let me know?
and if i was wrong about this "chi" thing, please let me know so i take back what I said before it becomes a big deal
thanks :)

Stop watching George Dillman videos.

Yes I've heard of it, but no, I highly doubt anyone at least in the US can really pull it off. Maybe some old man in China who's been at it 80 years.

Nope, every study that has tried to show this has failed. It doesn't work for anyone except Darth Vader.

We have all heard the claims, but I've never met someone who could convince me.

I made an appointment with Dr. Shin Lin at the University of California, Irvine who has a lab setup for researching QiGong and Tai Chi.
When I asked him the question (i asked in a less dumb form) he said the explanation is very long, and he invited me.
The appointment is after thanksgiving, so I will let you guys know by then.
He also gave me some stuff to look at in case you guys are interested

Actually I heard that the US Army just put like a million dollors into devolping "Chi soliders". They reportedly just run at the target saying bang, bang , and the target falls. When they yell Tank they become virtually bulletproof.... Oh yea, they can jump like 200 feet in the air too.

That should be interesting, please let us know how it goes.
As far as affecting someone without any touching whatsoever....nope.
Now, moving you way further than you thought they should be able to by pushing you....very much so, but not without touching at all.

Mantis I give you a lot of credit for doing your research and going with an open mind. I, for one, am not a believer but I find the whole thing very fascinating to say the least. I look forward to hearing about your experiences.

well i asked him how he could transfer energy from inside his body to his arms/legs, and then from those to other persons through other objects, including air...
we'll see.... im really interested in the topic very much now, especially that there's a whole research going on at UCI
 
If "Chi Combat" were possible and effective, we'd all be doing it by now.

If you believe in evolution/survival of the fittest and this has been around since ancient China, how come the superior "Chi fighters" havent dominated?
