Renchi is human energy [人気] also defined as “sign of life.” It would appear that the Chinese started inferences to our internal energy so it becomes important to define ki or chi or qi by the Chinese standards.
Although chi or ki is referred to as, “energy,” it is best to understand it is not defined as we Americans define as energy.
Energy is something generated such as by vigorous activity of the human body; feelings of tension caused by the exertion of power, dynamic tension; the exertion of power as movement of the body by flexing of muscles; the capacity to perform work, etc.
Chinese Define Qi:
- Type of energy that demonstrates power and strength:
- Bodily energy, living persons, a state of energy of living things:
- When a person is righteous with spiritual strength:
- A warrior state of energy called Qi Shi:
- The energy that circulates in the human body:
- Representative of energy itself also a manner or state of the energy.
As the reader can perceive, Chi or Qi as defined by the Chinese isn’t easily defined to a scientific state of understanding but rather a belief that is loosely related to some origin based on physics.
Science defines energy as an ability to do work and for the human body that deals worth physical activities that result in work.
It must be noted that energy can be psychologically manifested by individuals that applied properly will drive the physical energy of power and force, etc. Movement produces energy when coupled with one’s mass as well as that of the target along with physiokinetically applied methods at the point of intersection of both masses, bodies, along with structure, method, and speed applies said energy, power and other principles dictates energy generated, applied and absorbed that achieves intent of strategy and tactics necessary to defend or, “man down now” in the arena of violence.
WORK:
“Motion to a point of application of force and the distance through which the point of application moves.”
- Exertion or effort:
- Task or undertaking:
- Expended laborious activity:
- Product activity, exertion or labor:
- Force x distance through which it acts.
Look upon the previous as a fundamental defining concept towards a greater understanding of that energy in karate, martial methodologies, called, “Chi/Qi in Chinese and Ki in Japanese.”
Before I forget, the term Qi/Chi in China is used in their culture to explain energy in all forms of their lives and as with many customs and terms and phrases was adopted into the modern martial methods dojo.
