He's old now but I heard he can puncture a punching bag from distance of 10 feet with his finger using chi. He's like a national treasure for China and very hard to get to. He's one of those rare martial artists( like Mas Oyama)that can do amazing things. l

Answer 1

It is possible to to do such things.
Some have a natural ability that gives them an edge that others do not have.
Consider this,someone who does not have to work for a living,
and can train each and every day.Has a "second sense" as did his mother and her mother before her.
Compare this person to someone who has to work 5 or 6 days a week,struggle with traffic,raise a family,pay a mortgage,meet all the bills,rush ,rush rush.He or she makes it to Martial Arts class once or twice a week for two hours a class ,
forgets much of whats taught and calls it quits after 18 months,
and never had a hint of "second sense" and does not believe in
such things.
I have seen things in my life that defy physics many times , it
always makes me smile.

Answer 2

The body is limited. Yet, contrary to what some people might think, therein lies is power and strength. To accept the limits of the body is to achieve something wonderful. Accepting the body is making friends with its limits. To make friends with the limits of the body is the beginning of groundedness, and knowing groundedness is the source which keeps one from becoming overly ethereal and insubstantial. In Tai Chi we need to know the substantial and the insubstantial.

Answer 3

No, it's not possible. But claiming that it is sure is a nifty trick to sucker rich white kids who want magical powers into McDojos.

Just train your body to fight. If you want to throw fireballs or chi-balls, or whatever else? You're not only just going to disappoint yourself, but also be ridiculed out of any respectable MA circles.

Answer 4

I believe after years of strenuos training, and meditation its possible. One should not let stupid boundries hold onselves down otehr wise you will never progress never achieve and never succeed. YOu must over come what every one says is right and make what you say is right achievable. So it may be hard but i believe if you want soemthign bad enough you can have it regardless og our bodies restraints!
