I agree with bamboo here. You could study Chi and still not really know the fullness of chi. But I will take a go at it. Chi in basic terms is energy. Chi is everywhere. It is not the mystical power that Hollywood makes it out to be. It is a practical part of every martial art and almost everything you do in life. You dont need to subscribe to a religeon to develope it, and you dont need to believe in different ideologies. But to re iterate, what bamboo said (he would know alot more about chi than i would seeing that he is my senior and an aKI(chi)doka) you could study chi all of your life, and you can have such a control that people think you know it all, but in reality, you dont know all there is to know about chi, you will not fully understand Chi.[/list]
