I Experienced CHI Force 

Big thanks for watching and subscribing!! 👍

What a well-spoken man with extremely cautious and careful thinking. Could listen to him for hours !

"where attention goes, energy flows" outstanding line! Weregonnalose is the best RU-vid channel out here

I could have been watching this for 10 more hours because of how fascinating I think Shaolin monks are. Also very thoughtful of their verbal response.

Like a lot of martial artists, I tend to roll my eyes at most Chi videos. However, this expert was so well articulated, offered no mystical BS, he met questions with informative answers and wasn't afraid to say that Chi has been embellish beyond the truth in some cases. This was amazing. Thank you Jesse and thank you Master Shi Heng Yi.

Master Shi Heng Yi teachings saved me from committing self delete 🙏🏼 He's truly a blessing, his wisdom knows no bounds

“Where attention goes, energy flows” that’s actually really insightful! It’s like when you’re focus at doing a task you’ve dedicated your mind to, all of your energy flows into that one task. Will definitely keep this in mind!

What an extraordinary men. Those movements, the wisdom, his clear mind and words. I could watch and listen to him for hours.

This man was amazing! I would love to listen to a multiple hour long video of him breaking down principles of chi and so on. Also, I love your learning and curious attitude towards the martial arts. I didn't think I would be interested in your content, but you 100% won me over with your positive attitude and balanced perspective.

One time in high school we had to do a project on “something interesting “, I taught everyone in class how to feel and move their chi. There are a lot of misconceptions about what chi is and it doesn’t help that some folks intentionally misrepresent to sell their courses or basically start a cult.

"On today's episode of learning martial arts around the world I learned how to do a kamehameha!"

The first 3 minutes of this man speaking is all Gold. Ah an he keeps dropping more and more gems. Intention is so important.

Just want to say that I love your devotion to taking in different disciplines and this teacher caught my attention from the mannerisms to the form and I appreciate that you uploaded this so I can enjoy it. Ill be sure to watch all of the other ones and anytime the youtube algorithm allows your videos to pop up first hahaha.

I love the chi master's practical approach to your queries. He was not afraid to put it to the test.

Of course "chi" is real, it's in Dragon Ball Z. Case closed.

This was such a pleasure to watch! Please feature more teachings from this master, if he permits it ofc! Thank you!

"there is still something that can penetrate you" -Shi Heng Yi 💀💀

He’s really trying to simplify it and make it as straight forward as possible. I really liked this demonstration

The Circling and pressing of palms was something I tried as a teen. Welcome to another world.

I was absolutely fascinated by the demonstration of the orchestrated dance of the 'chi' energy and its perfect understanding by the shaolin master.

WOW is all I have to say!!! IT DEFINITELY WORKS!!! 33 year Martial Arts Practitioner here and I've never felt Chi like I am able to now after watching this video. The first time I tried it I felt not only energy between my hands, but also a jolt/shock to my system that I can't describe with words, however it was amazing! The energy was strong enough to almost become uncomfortable(Probably just because it was my first time doing it) and I could feel a sensation on the palms of my hands for about 15 minutes afterwards that slowly dissipated. I've done it 3 times since and although I could definitely feel the chi it wasn't as strong as the first time. Thank you thank you thank you :)

Many years ago, my grandfather told me an interesting story about Chi and karate. Premise: I am a former karate practitioner (mainly Goju-Ryu, Kenshinkan and some years of Kyokushin) even though it has been many years since I stopped. Back in the day, my grandfather was also a Karate practitioner, mostly Kempo, in his days as a investigative police in the '60s. When it was My turn, he had stopped his practice for many years, but he still recalled many many lessons, especially from bunkai and sparring, that had helped him a lot in his law-enforcing work. So, one day we're taking about karate, our trainings and our experiences and of course I'm being a bit blown away by a couple of anecdotes when his karate training proved extremely helpful in his work back in the day. At one point though, we mention Chi (or Ki, we used the japanese pronunciation) and he says to me: "There is something thought that I never managed to wrap My head around. One day I'm in lesson, and there comes a foreign Master that was in exchange for a brief period. We start doing normal chudan tsuki and chudan uke.. all is going normal until this Master stops for a moment, promps me to strike him again and when he blocks, I suddently felt a surge of weakness and tiredness. Didn't fall, but My balance was a bit compromised for a second and even felt a bit light-headed. I ask him what the hell was that, and he explains it to me: it turns out that this guy was also very involved in the study of Ki, what is ir, how it works and such. So when he blocked, he focused his energy into his hikite: but he was visualizing "grabbing" some form of my energy from my stomach and 'pulling it away', sort of speak. And he integrated that in the simple hikite with the hand he wasn't using for his uke. I don't know what was it, I don't know how, I don't understand how it is possible but from that day on I never questioned that there *is* something going on, when we hear about Ki. Shame that nowadays is being so misinterpreted" So.. of course: this is something that happened to my grandpa. I never experienced something like that, and I tend to think about all this stuff with the same amount of healthy skepticism that the next guy. But watching this video, the memory came rushing back and just wanted to share 😂

Really proud to have this guy in our country, greetings from Germany!

Another great episode, a realistic explanation of CHI..you continue to bring the best of the best, TY

Your videos are very entertaining and enlightening. Your humble approach tempered with your black belt skills, which you don't brag about or showcase is perfect.

Master Shifu hit the nail on the head for harnessing Chi or internal energy with one statement. Energy follows intension. Intention is key for healing or power.

Chi sounds like advanced body control where you understand the state of your physical form and then use it.

You are the only guy i saw on youtube in the last 15 years that actually filmed chi in action and also know what it was and also a master that explained it completely true to its nature.

Such a great simple intro video to a fascinating area. The power of chi is truly incredible when you can get in touch with it - often on that simple exercise first shown, sometimes when I have tried Tai Chi, and also in my previous Shotokan Practice, in some stances and Kata. An important dimension I think we should spend more time on, instead of leaving our bodies more and more into (ironically) the digital world.

Feeling the energy between your hands was something I learned after practicing meditation. It's amazing!

I hope there will be more videos with Shifu Shi Heng Yi. It's always the best content when he's around.

Interested in power v’s force.. it’s absolutely fascinating, can’t say I have cultivated this in any way, yet I believe and appreciate the idea fully. Great video. Thank you 🙏

This master moves so gracefully. I am in awe of his mindset.

The Wisdom of master Shi Heng Yi save my life when I was considering to stop existing. Hope one day I can meet him. Amazing video brother

Bro! C'mon man! You got us all warmed up and intently focused on this great content. We need a series or a long video with this Master discussing and giving wisdom about Chi!🙏🏾✊🏾👍🏾👊🏾🤛🏾🙂

This is my new favorite person in the entire world. He's awesome bro.

I tried the chi exercise and it felt like my hands were two apposing magnets, this has opened up a whole new world for me, thank you!

As someone who worked in healthcare for years (first aid/CPR, medicine administration), and having studied physical therapy, I have a hypothesis about what we call "chi". Chi is basically a simplified way of talking about circulation. Blood circulation, breath circulation, the flow of signals in the nervous system, etc. Think of how we view optimal health. If our blood pressure, breathing, and reflexes are healthy, we are considered in optimal health. And what's the opposite of that? High blood pressure, breathing problems, and nerve damage. This is reflected in the anatomy chart of Chinese traditional medicine, especially in pressure points. The circulation theory doesn't limit itself to anatomy, however. Physics, economy of motion, the flow of movement, all of these tie into the theory of "chi". This is why so many martial artists focus on flexibility and fluidity. So chi was never meant to be something mystical. It is merely a reminder of the importance of smooth circulation and the physics of fluidity.

Watching a video about natural chi, martial arts and self realization - get interupted by dominos pizza ad - continue my way to inner peace.

Shown in such an understandable way..bless you all❤

The teacher is all one piece, like a really good dancer. His energy is coherent.

I did that excercise, now I can throw Hadokens! Seriously though, you can feel the energy

Wow this was a masterclass on chi, and a very well stated and honest responses/lessons from Master Shi Heng Yi. Liked and subbed!

The application of the metaphysics is exquisite, on point, thank you for the lesson and the video full of gems.

Your videos with Master Shi Heng Yi are the most interesting and valuable martial arts videos I have ever seen.

This was a very respectful exchange of realization. Thank you.. even in such a short video, I feel such a deeper understanding in the modern way. Thank you!

Master Shi is so good at demoing/breaking down techniques/process to achieve the intention

Jesse, watching your videos is like an intuition in humility, I'm very grateful to you! 🙏

That's fascinating. Truly wonderful, witnessing this master. Thank you for bringing this to us.

Hi Sensei Jesse, great to see you back with another “thought provoking” and instructional video! Keep up your good work!

Can't believe you say bjj doesn't work, but are able to have a conversation about chi with a straight face

This was really inspiring, thank you for this upload, Jesse! I always had some doubts about chi and wether it really exists or not (I tend to make fun of it like "the force" in Star Wars). But as I imitated your hand exercise I've to admit that I also felt a strange tingling. I'll now try to integrate some more self-awareness into my everyday life.

Awesome inner Qi & expressed wisedom of Shi Heng Yi's natural strength. I am very thankful to learn from you.

It's amazing how you moved from your karate ground base into more complex chinese martial arts and concepts. No doubt you'll deepen your knowledge which in turn will improve your skills as a martial artist, not just for karate

"... empty your mind. be formless, shapeless like water...". Great material. Thanks

This guy is the best therapist ever!

I have recently discovered your videos and all ive gotta say as a new black belt in shotokan karate is thank you and your vids are honestly the best I love them and they're jokes as well 😂

I love watching master Shi Heng Yi explain things. He makes things so easy to understand really deep topics

I started feeling and playing with this energy more than a year ago, i believe what i heard master Shi Heng Yi saying differs from what others understood.

I felt the same thing and totally makes sense. Huge respect for master Shi Heng Yi.

Very interesting. Shi Heng Yi seems a very focused, no nonsense passionate teacher. Chi shown this way reminds me of the concept of Zanshin, which my masters always tried to empathize, but further developed and applied. Thanks Jesse!

So basically, Chi is the power of inner and outer self awareness. The ability of total focus. To understand how the mind and body works together. No hocus Pocus at all. This is something that any good sportsman is aware of to some degree. Even ordinary people knows that to achieve maximum results in any task you need a great deal of focus, and knowledge on what to work on to achieve ones goals.

He humbly said "I don't know" ... awesome....

His explanation on chi can also help in a social setting “ it’s like when people say think before you speak” “Where intention goes energy flows”

This was a super concise and practical introduction. Really enjoyed the presentation!

I love the intent discussion! One pieces “armament haki” concept has helped me picture where I “send my Qi” in my iron shirt training. Also would love to train if you’re ever in Seattle! Im working on putting together a nonprofit training space rn, since I can’t afford gym fees and want to help other marginalized ppls get that martial equity. Ty for your work and open mindedness Jesse it’s inspiring!

Much RESPECT Jesse , crew and Master Shi Heng Yi.

I love with pure heart master Shi Heng Yi ♡ Lot of respect.

I could listen to Master Shifu talk for days. Everything he explains is so articulate that even those of us who are relatively new to the concept can follow. Great video, Jesse! 👍

I am having karate yellow belt exam day after tomorrow... Iam so excited❤ UPDATE: I passed the test, i got the yellow belt 😌

Interesting! Amazing!! 'where the mind focuses, energy flows' - sounds true! Watching out for more in depth videos on Chi. Thanks much!!

The master is natural teacher, made his wisdom all that more intriguing.

i love this!! i wish the video was longer 😭

From my understanding, having studied multiple religions and meditating techniques, this was the most well worded and simplest explanation of internal energy and how to use it effectively. Thank you for the video

As a Reiki Master, this is so interesting to watch! I help people heal themselves anywhere in the world!

Seen a lot from this master and he's always a joy to listen to.

Shi Heng Yi is such a great master! His Shaolin Monastery in Germany is only 50 km away from my home. To meet him is a big dream of mine.

I tried the hand practice method as I watched the video, I felt the same feeling in my hands that you described!

this exercise with the hands , i started doing alone a few years ago... im pretty decent at feeling this energy, but never heard of CHI. So cool ytb recommended this video.

I have seen a few videos with Master Shi Heng Yi on philosophical topics, and the way he articulates things is very thought-provoking. He is someone I wish I could get to sit down and have a deep conversation with. I recommend looking him up, he is full of applicable knowledge.

Love all the content of you and Shi Heng Yi!

I was taught by an amazing 85 years old Sensei, called Moritoshi Nakaema and he was OLD SCHOOL, he taught a couple of students, myself included the technique you were trying at 5:00, you can feel something like a ball forming between the hands, it's pretty weird as you can definitely FEEL it, but there is nothing in between and people can't touch it... I made the mistake of touching both hands and my hands went numb for a few second. Pretty weird. There was no practical Hadouken or anything like it, but it was a pretty cool breathing exercise with some interesting results which I can't comprehend, even today. Not sure if it's related, but I went from breaking boards to breaking ice blocks a few months after learning this. It definitely helped having a couple extra months of training, and the breathing and intent also helped, but I still get a weird feeling thinking back then. Seeing your channel brings me fond memories :)

"There is still something that can penetrate you" Thank you for this wisdom 🙏

it's good to see the teachings of Shaolin kungfu come back into my life. In a way it sort of felt like the philosophy was slowly fading due to the commercialization and the lost of its tradition, but I'm glad it's coming back to remind people the values of the art and philosophy and it's not about fighting, but mastering your mind and body, essentially energy and matter.

We are made of energy. I learned Reiki when I was about 5 years of age, my Judo master lived in Japan for 25 years and taught me about the power of Ki/Chi. I was lucky enough to have a real life "Mr.Myiagi" to teach me a LOT of things like this.

I've watched him off and on for years, but this is my favorite explanation of qi so far.

Amazing man, Shi Heng Yi! So calm and clear!

Chi is 100% real! I am a Reiki master practitioner since 6 years and I was a skeptic when I went to learn because I wanted to debunk it. But what I experienced could not be anything other than subtle energy. I now help people heal by channeling reiki energy even across the world. And they experience effects like diarrhea or vomiting after the first session because they purge the heavy energy. After purging is complete, we do another patch up session which brings about great healing in all spheres of their life! Not just physical healing, but also they lose toxic people and situations. All of this without even touching the person, and sometimes they're across the world. I can physically feel the chi and the blocks that I can sense from its variations. Of course I am just a channel. All credit goes to chi and Reiki.

It's great to see someone expressing positive views about martial arts. Unfortunately, there have been many bad apples and imposters over the years, leading to negative perceptions of the practice. However, learning proper technique can be a real game changer in many aspects of life. Big Fan from VA. Loving your videos Jesse!

I love Master Shi Heng Yi's energy. Thank you for sharing.

His last sentence is what makes it credible. You need BOTH! It's not about going harder or softer is the better way but the key is to do the right move at the right timing.

I get chills, and goose bumps, big time, when I follow along.

For people who are skeptical about this, I think a good way to look into this subject is like a hyper focused "Mind-Muscle Connection" like we use in fitness. Just like you do on certain gym exercises, depending on how aware you are about one muscle you will activate that specific muscle a lot more during your series. When master Shi Heng Yi mentioned "I can't break a brick with my hands if I'm thinking about food" I immediately had this realization, it's exactly what we are doing on the gym. In my opinion "Chi" used for martial arts could just be the way those ancient masters named this thing that we call "mind-muscle connection" nowadays.

Jesse-san! I think it's very cool you got to witness this! Just a few months ago i started an art called "Baguazhang" it's similar to chi, but it focuses on the internal energy, and how to let it flow out to use against your opponents! I've felt the tingling you were speaking of, ive felt the confusion in my body as it's used against me. In fact, ive felt MORE than tingling while doing the techniques! It's a very fluid art that focuses a lot on not only the energy, but the SPIRALS of the body. 💪❤️ The "where your attention goes, energy flows" is so real!

Fantastic interview and explaining! 💪🏼👌🏼

omg Reverend Shi Heng Yi! Was wondering when you would ever consult this master, he focuses so much on the internal world and felt like a great fit for your channel. The rest of his channel, his reflections and deep wisdom AND kungfu, are deeply edifying.

I asked my sensie about the nature of Chi in our technque and he said that proper technique and chi flow are one and the same they live together.

This is a very good explanation of Chi without delving into "magic powers" and other mystical thinking. It's almost scientific -- using relaxation and internal awareness to generate more power. Arigato Gozaimasu, Jesse-san!

And these facts are why we all love kung-fu. These subtleties will be the very peak of mma when the physical continues to develop.🙏 thanks gor for another video

If u want to really understand chi.. it’s best to go to a Chinese acupuncturist or Chinese energy healer. But great information from master Shi. I bet he knows more. But that’s more than enough for a public demo. Great video Sensei! 🙏🏻🥋
