previous disclaimers about missing footnotes, images, hyperlinks, etc.
apply.

Please note this is the best place to discuss emitted chi, no touch
knockouts, etc. if you practice these skills or your school teaches
them, please send full details to my email address (or discuss it
here) - we need more information and I am certainly willing to change
the basis of this section if new information should come to light.

2 Are Chi Bolts Real? (Re: Chi Emission)

This covers any question about Chi being emitted such as in "lin kong
jin", "no-touch knockouts", "kiai masters" who can stun or disable
with a shout etc. The answer?

No.

Let's examine the evidence.

As an aside, and I hope Goldberg is reading this, Master Huang was a
student of CMC. You know the guy shown in the "Mind-Bending"
thread ;-)

Interesting, no?

Oh... I forgot to add... so was Wm Chen, who made the challenge in
Huang's honor, and honesty's honor, and realities honor, and the other
bonehead, who also said something like you said... about having what no ...

Again, do not use the phrase "scientifically confirms". You barely
have the credibility to claim your shoes are tied, let along make a
statement like that.

Viable is a word that carries it's own implications. What do you mean
by viable?

Yes, I was in the neijia list 13 years ago too. I've learned a lot
since then.

That is your perception.

That's a pretty big IF. Fortunately for me, most people are not mark
goldberg, so they do consider it quite interesting in and of itself.

Since any nutter.... can quote paragraphs out of wikipedia, we find a
classification of obsessively compelled, fake 'experts' who tend to be
'compulsive about using 'wikipedia' as if, they were now annointed to
not only assess, but confirm their 'diagnoses'.

You're a quack, and don't take my word... ask the entire newsgroup just
how deep your pathology runs

Or do you want to start quoting some of your talmud sources again, and
show it in living color
