Dragonball Real

In the Dragonball Z anime (by Toriyama, Akira), the Spirit Bomb and the Kamehameha wave techniques used in battles are the most widely known by fans everywhere. Almost the first words brought to mind when we hear the anime name “Dragonball Z”, are “Goku” (the main character), “Kamehameha” and the “Spirit Bomb”. It’s interesting to note however, in this Sino-Japanese (Chinese/Japanese) culture based anime, that these are wildly exaggerated examples of real, chi-power based internal martial arts operations, such as “Fa Jing”, for example. Allow me to explain…

In Asia, the matter-of-fact acceptance of chi (actually “Qi” in China, and “ki” in Japan) as an existent force of nature is all-pervasive throughout Asian culture, even in children’s cartoons such as Dragonball Z when characters use the Spirit Bomb attack. When Goku stands and fires up his chi, pulls his hands around and in towards him and shoots them outwards together in tiger-jaw formation, shouting, “Kamehameha!”, this is actually a representation of an operation known in Yang style T’ai Qi Quan internal form as “Fa Jing”. This is the technique used when we hear of two people sparring in a tournament, and one sends the other flying backwards out of the ring, often without even making even the slightest physical contact with the opponent.

To make the Spirit Bomb and Kamehameha techniques really work (although, in nowhere near to the insanely exaggerated light-show proportions as depicted in Dragonball Z), you need to study Yang T’ai Qi Quan, but the internal form of the martial art… or practice Qigong, or other type of energy cultivation method. This is how to make them work. You also need to know that there are two aspects – there is chi, and there is jing… one is the field, and the other is the energy which flows throughout the field. In sparring, when one opponent uses fa jing to send the other flying out of the ring, it isn’t a chi blast that has plowed the opponent per se, but is actually in fact, jing.

If you’d like to learn more about how to harness and use chi and jing, try out an experiment to develop your ability to see qi fields with the naked eye, or even enroll in a school which teaches how to use jing to move objects, ring chimes at a distance and more, please visit my site on developing chi power for a very enlightening read.
