Default Re: QiGong: Science fiction or real but unexplainable for the time bei

I've seen two different magicians on tv shows do the pole on the throat tricks, as well as other fun pole related bendings. A cousin of mine saw it live in veags. Just saying that anything a magician does on tv probably does not have a mystical 'chi' force as its real explanation.

As for the sword stuff, that's just an acquired skill. I'm no expert but i'd imagine with years of training you could learn to hit someone without cutting them with a very sharp sword easily. angles/momentum changes/skin toughness and so forth.
