Are some Kung Fu Masters capable of telekinesis?

Question

Are they working with Qi Gong or Chi?

Answer 1

No. If they were capable of such things, it would be documented scientifically, recorded, and examined by experts around the world, to learn and exploit the secret. Likely it's just a trick, sleight of hand, or just a story. Anyone who held that power would feel obligated to share with others. Keeping it secret or letting it die with him would be immoral.

Answer 2

Ok...breaking this one down. :p

--Have you *been* to a gung fu school outside of China lately *at all*? If not, let me clue you in on something. The way folks train these days, the overwhelming majority of the time, is total CRAP. Telekinesis? The relevant question is, "Can they *fight*?" and with a few rare exceptions (Cung Le?) for the most part they can't.

Not that I blame the Chinese any for this....*any* martial "art" that has been around for centuries and centuries is going, at some point, to degenerate and forget and *not* be about the fighting anymore. It'll turn into Tai Chi perhaps and be about the health, or it will turn into so much foot-fencing like Tae Kwon Do....

And it is a shame too, because there is some real beauty to be had in gung fu....but, it's become too stylized, too much of an art, when folks really could have stuck to the original meaning of the characters and kept it "hard work".

--Are people *in general* capable of telekinesis?

Well, if the training isn't total crap....I'd say maybe, on rare occasion, maybe.

This being from my experiences with my older sister as we grew up and dabbled a bit in the psychic/supernatural stuff (when she was a teenager, I was a tweener). I'd say the old Soviet and CIA/SRI Remote Viewing Research was on to *something*, but....

Actual honest-to-goodness telekinesis is going to be rare if it happens at all. ESP type stuff, where you merely *sense* a bit more than normal, or where you can send and receive simple messages is much more common and much more easily trained in most people.

I've personally, as a tween, had three waking experiences with levitation, all in the same year...since they happened when my family lived in one part of the country, I have to attribute some of it, possibly, to local electro-magnetic anomalies (seriously, I don't believe *I* was fully responsible for it or it would have been repeatable elsewhere as my family moved around the U.S.).

And....aside from that, while I have trained myself, as an adult, to have some successful experiences with Remote Viewing....the telekinesis comes and goes. Mainly it manifests as the occasional half-random bit of electrical weirdness--I can see and feel it coming but can't really control things once they start happening.

Just saying. :)

Answer 3

There is no correct answer but first i need to say that karate is a really flowing art its not stiff and rigid at all. Even though i do karate i won't say that karate would win. there are so many styles of karate so thats one huge factor & if kung fu use weapons that gives an obvious advantage if one has a bo staff there is so much more reach, if the person trained in karate can get past that staff though, look out because karate involves a lot of power. there is no answer as if the fighter sticks to the rules of their martial art you can;t to just any move to defend. if it were "if a person trained in karate and a person in kung fu were to street fight well again id say depends totally on the build etc of the person

(The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines telekinesis as: "the production of motion in objects (as by a spiritualistic medium) without contact or other physical means.")

The answer to the question, whether if some kung fu masters are capable of telekinesis, can be answered by defining what the term "kung fu" means.

Kung fu is defined as a skill accomplished by great effort and concentration. Kung fu is not limited to martial arts. If you are an excellent chef, you would be considered to have a kung fu skill in cooking, and if you can write beautifully, then your kung fu in writing is said to be strong. During martial arts training, kung fu students will often train in qi gong, which is essentially the art of managing the breath to achieve and maintain good health, and especially in the martial arts, to enhance the energy mobilization and stamina of the body in coordination with the physical process of respiration. Qi gong involves chi (qi, ki), so they are intricately related.

While qi gong is used in the martial arts in that respect, qi gong is also used in the medical field, and it also has spiritual applications as well. The common denominator between the martial arts and qi gong, is that emphasis is put on the breath, mind and body, so a kung fu master would be well versed not only in the actual martial physical kicks/punches, but also in the spiritual as well (through qi gong). This balance is to be maintained should one would want to become an accomplished master.

It is through this spritual application in which kung fu masters will devote many years to training and meditation, in which they begin to gain mastery over the qi that surrounds them and the environment. You can think of qi as a bioelectric force that animates humans, plants, animals and the celestial bodies.

From my understanding, there are a few kung fu masters in the world who reside in sacred caves in China, who are capable of telekinesis. It is common to hear of masters capable of moving dishes across the room, as well as adept martial artists who can stop their opponents in their tracks, and hurl them at a distance without touching them. Some kung fu masters can likewise perform a version of kata, and while doing so, have the trees around them move around, creating a wind-like region despite there being no natural breeze. Again, all of this would involve an intimate understanding of qi. Not to take anything away from this, but anyone can accomplish this skill, but only if you are willing to devote yourself to 5+ hours of strict training for 20+ years under the guidance of a master (not many of us can really set aside that kind of time). While their main objective in displaying qi is really not to show off to outsiders, many of them must often carry out this training, and the powers that are acquired are a by-product of that intense training.

Answer 5

No. What they do have is extremely well-trained understanding of balance and forces as applied to unarmed combat. The tradition in which this understanding is taught uses the concepts of Qi Gong and Chi and they are effective ways of visualizing what is going on and improving skill. Western tradition gymnasts and dancers learn similar skills to similar levels - but use entirely different conceptual systems to visualize what they do. No laws of physics have been shown to be violated in any of these cases.

Answer 6

If telekinesis does not exist, then nobody can be working with it. If it does exist, why don't we know about it?

Answer 7

CONCENTRATE.....I am sending you the answer right now. Did you get it? That's my answer.

Answer 8

Certainly GRASSHOPPER, (Qi Gong)
