Chi, from my understanding, is the internal energy of the body. The energy that is around us. We as MAist try to harness and control our chi by certain methods and techniques. We do so by, focused breathing, meditation (not to be mixed with prayer), movements, concentration etc. Only a fool would say he fully understands Chi. Only a fool would say he has total control of chi. There is power in the human body that we have not yet tapped, yes we are fragile, but also powerful. The existance of Chi has been made clear, that is how we know of Chi. Look at exercises like Chi Gong, there has been men who do phenomenal feats that seem to be superhuman. They credit that to their Chi developement. This is a question that philosophers, scholars and masters ponder regularly. No one can tell you fully what Chi is, but some can show you the effects of Chi developement. Thanks to Bamboo and his Wife (sensei) I have seen first hand the effect of chi. It was a small exercise and a small effect but still impressive. His wife, a small woman showed strength that you wouldn't imagine a woman of her size should have. I hope this along with bamboo's and jKDmaster's post clears things up for you.
