[QUOTE="somethingspecial, post: 3129999, member: 98042"] OK, so people who are versed in chi kung can learn to use their chi for martial purposes, but is it possible to train animals to use their chi in such a way or does it take too high a degree of consciousness? By rewarding animals for small steps towards a target behaviour, we can teach them quite complex actions, like those chimps that drink tea out of a tea pot and dogs that can herd sheep. Is it possible that we could reward them for behaviours that increase positive chi so that they become more powerful? What I was thinking was, if Chinese warriors in ancient times could make themselves powerful using chi techniques, wouldn't they have been even more unstoppable if the horses they rode also had huge reservoirs of chi? Then the horses could bend spears that attacked them (like you see those dudes doing in kung fu documentaries) and maybe things like leap extra high, run really fast or, if you were a really good trainer, do no-touch knockouts on enemy horses. This would have made their armies invincible. Also, does anyone know how far up the evolutionary ladder a creature needs to be before it can be taught to use its chi? Could I teach a dog tai chi? A cat? A goldfish? My friend's got a cat that's really good at fighting, but I think it would be ever better if I could teach it chi techniques? Has anyone successfully tried this? [/QUOTE]
