How do you explain old ass Chinese nikkas breaking cement blocks with the side of their hand then?
So basically it's the equivalent to alining your charkras?
Been trying to get into it. I wanna do push ups using my fingers.

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.
