you guys know that Chi and Ki are basically the same thing. The soul,
the Force, whatever. Regardless of what they may (or may not ) be, two
people arguing their what they are is not going to decide it once and
for all. Dispite whatever you may get from any of a hundred movies.
   Judging from the depth of your commentary, it's obvious that you have
envested quite a bit of time in this little debate. Which means unless
you are actually USING the stuff, you have WAAAAAAY to much free time.
   Thanks for the info anyway. But you should really do something else
with your time.

Yes you are correct.
Chi is the chinies pronounciation of Ki which is the Japanese
pronounciation.
Akido and Thaichi are the respected soft froms of martial arts which focus
more on ki/chi.
