what the heck is going on there? Is this supposed to be some "invisible force" martial arts exposition?

I'm not really sure what that is.

are a lot like the hold Trump has over his cult followers. There is nothing of substance whatsoever, but if you believe in the power of the cult leader he has complete control over you. Got it. Then someone comes along who doesn't believe in your horse-shit and he kicks your ass. Sort of like the wake up call Trump is going to get this coming Tuesday. We'll slap that asshole back to reality, because right now he thinks he's invincible. We're going to fuck up Trump's chi BIGLY!

(Most of it anyways)

I have the utmost respect for all of the martial arts.

As for the fantasy martial arts I think I will let Hollywood and all of their screenwriters prescript those "matches".

They picked him up from school, so it was like daycare, and he would learn to defend himself.

After a time, I realized it was a racket. The people were not masters at defending oneself, nor teaching. It was about making money. It was a pyramid scheme.

I would watch these overweight people move around the room teaching these overweight kids. They broke boards at ceremonies I could snap with my 2 hands. The boards were all cut so the short grain, not long, made up most the board.

Chi, that worked in Naruto, a cartoon I use to watch with the same son. I don’t recall Bruce Lee ever talking about it. He trained so hard that he was pure muscle. And he made this form of martial arts that was about doing away with any flourishing moves and to strike directly and quickly. (That is my understanding)
