I found this one quite interesting as to how they assessed kickers from a straight forward Newtonian Mechanics perspective. The QiGong Iron shirt stuff with the spear at the throat I found more difficult to comprehend, but if Fight Science' is objective (not sure), it is an interesting test. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5IGh_hCMEw"]National Geographic Fight Science Stealth Fighters Part1 - YouTube[/ame] As this attempted to present QiGong in a somewhat more scientific perspective, rather than Bio-pixie fairy tale toothpaste - as fairly often gets spouted on this forum, I did find this Health QiGong vid, presenting somewhat deeper analysis of QiGong, explained in language I can just about understand, rather than the usual Cheesy old splodge. I can dig some of the bio-chemistry discussed, but it is still too cheesy for me, but I am open to rational persuasion. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPl8JNxSYIY"]Understanding QiGong and Qi 1/3 - YouTube[/ame] Essentially, if discussion regarding Qi can be rational and not flowing into nonsense and hyper-twaddle, then I can take interest - can't speak for anyone else. Sensible analysis of both vids is welcome.

He also refers to isometric tension exercises as an aid to doing it and in relation to 'internal power'. Sword bending reference, the end posts. http://selfprotection.lightbb.com/t5803-combat-ki Isometric explanation and reference to sword bending. http://stevemorris.livejournal.com/1441.html
