Kung fu is a Chinese martial art that uses force to cause harm to opponents or for health purposes. It has existed in China for millennia and incorporates thousands of styles. Practitioners learn to harness and expand their innate energy known as chi or qi. In kung fu, force is understood as the transfer of energy from one body to another through fast, powerful strikes. Later, the concept of force expanded to include detaching and molding it into different forms for combat in kung fu comics. Some depictions show practitioners using telekinetic powers to issue explosive forces from their bodies without contact.

Kung Fu
Kung Fu in China is the art or technique of
using force effectively for health or to
cause harm to one’s opponents. It is often
referred to in the West as Chinese martial
art.
Chinese martial art had been in existence
in China for millennia. All practitioners
know how to use force well in thousands
of styles. The basic concept is to develop
ways to harness one’s innate energy
resources and expand it when the need
arises. As kung Fu pre-existed the study of
physics, the way of Kung Fu is shrouded in
mystery. Picture credit – Wikipedia

Transfer of Energy
The commonest performance
of Kung Fu is the generation
of energy inside the body and
inject it through the leg or fist
into the body of an enemy. If
the injection is fast and
powerful, the body of the
enemy cannot adjust fast
enough to accommodate the
strike, the body parts become
deformed and damaged. So
force is understood to be the
transfer of energy from one
body to another.

Chi into Kung Fu
If one can manipulate this Qi
well, not only would one
become healthier, but the
force or power issued from
his body will be much
greater. So force in the mind
of the practitioners became
something that can be
moved around inside the
body or even be ejected
from the body to affect your
opponent.
In the beginning of the 6th century, the concept and practice of Qigong (the practice
of Chi or Qi) was introduced into Kung Fu and the Qi style of Kung Fu emerged. The
success led to the believe that force is the manifestation of this mysterious Qi or fluid
force inside the body.

Force Gone Berserk
This detachable force becomes an essential part of Kung Fu comics, especially those found in
Hong Kong and the rest of Asia. The force can be moulded into different forms for any
disastrous results.

Explosive Power from Detachable Forces
The forces do not need to be
generated and transferred in
contact. They can be issued
from the body and be seen like
firework everywhere around the
combatants. The more brilliant
and violent they are, the greater
would be the power. This is also
done to effectively impress the
readers so as to exhort the
greatest resonance from the
readers.

Japanese Power
The practitioners may
sometimes achieve
developing telekinesis
or psychokinesis. They
can gather enough
power in their body and
issue forward a
powerful blast to
eliminate their
enemies. Of course, if
the enemies also know
how to do it, they
would blast back, and a
battle more awesome
than cannons and fire
ensures.

Metropolitan Destroying Power
When carried to extreme, may end up with city-destroying powers as so popular in many
Japanese manga. I saw Akira was described as the man who could summon enough power to
destroy the Tokyo city.

Western Concepts
The Asians are now not
alone. The Westerners
are fast catching up. The
Star War movies portrait
characters with more
mysterious power. To
the creator of Star War,
force seems to be some
sort of gas diffused
throughout the
universe, and warriers
who are properly
trained could use it for
good or bad purposes.

Contact & Detachable Force
So there are two types of force concepts prevalent in the world culture. One is the contact
force that is commonly used in daily life and in combats; the other is the detachable or
remotely controlled force popular in comics and fictions.
Contact Forces Detachable Forces

Force in Contact
Presentation of force styles may vary, but
the underlying concept are the same.
More or less the practitioners understand
that force is a kind of substance that can
be created and shared. It may or may not
be leaving the body as an extension, but
the fact that its needs for a solid contact
to be transferred cannot be denied.
The same feeling exists in both the East
and the West civilizations. Momentum
and Force cannot be seen, but they are
tangible and may be existing everywhere.
They have been there waiting to be
recognized for thousands of years.
