wrist/forearm strength coupled with a strong core.
This, as well as practice and focus, although as stated deep breathing can have profound effects in energizing, giving you clarity/euphoria etc.
Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right.

Yeah.
How do you explain chi energy used in acupuncture?

I'm glad you made this thread... I've been trying to increase my punching power.. I know this sh1t works. I even know a girl who has mastered it.. but she uses it for things other than martial arts.

it's a combination of focus, marrying breathing to movement, and hand conditioning, and in some cases pure fakery. There are legitimate practitioners of Iron Palm out there, I know some myself. A lot of the training is really not so different conceptually from hitting a heavy bag. The only difference is that theres a meditative aspect, and herbal salves applied after training to speed up recovery.Chi, as I understand it, coming from someone who's been into daoism for a bit, isnt mystical energy. For lack of a better explanation, having 'good Qi' is when all of the systems of your body are maintained very well. Basically, being in super good health. I don't really want to talk about Neigong or any internal alchemy related stuff because it's wonky, but at the end of the day it can help you regulate your bodily functions just as much as any healthy form of exercise and diet.

So basically it's the equivalent to alining your charkras?

nah i don't believe in it but i meditate pretty often 
i remember seeing a video of some monks meditating with freezing cold wet towels on their body and by the time they were done they were dry. you could see steam rising off them and everything 
supposedly they were channeling their "chi". idk about all that either but either way....

It's similar to yoga. Most Qigong practices are derived from chinese gymnastic exercises called daoyin, which are excellent for maintaining basic health. There are lots of mental and physical benefits to both practices that are similar. It's not all soft, flexible stuff though. A lot of it is hard endurance or plyometric based calisthenics as well.
:silviosmh: just stahp with all this shyt. You're not going to get mystical powers. I study IMA and I know a fair amount of advanced neigong practitioners. They are capable of laudable acts of focus, have excellent health, and can do some weird things like speed up and slow down your heart rate. But theyve been at it for years and arent shattering giant stone blocks. Thats fiction, and in my opinion so is Qi as a manifestable form of projecting energy. Just think of it as being in good health. A lot of the things people attribute to 'omg cheeee' are various manifestations of advanced herbal medicine, massage therapy, and just being in good shape.
