Here are some demonstrations used to prove the existence of ki. If you try them, you will find anyone may do them without the use of ki. Of course, ki experts will probably say that happens because the person possesses ki and does not even know it.

Unbendable Arm

The classic ki feat used by most all instructors where someone tries to bend their arm when it's stiff, and succeeds. But when their arm is very relaxed, it becomes impossible to bend. It is an effect way to introduce students to ki.

To perform this feat:

• Hold your arm out horizontally with just a slight bend at the elbow, make a fist, and tighten all the muscles in your arm. Now have someone put one hand on top of your elbow and put the other hand under your wrist, and then try to bend your arm. He or she will probably be successful.

• Now, hold your arm out again and relax all the muscles in your arm, letting the wrist hang loosely, using just enough muscle to keep your arm in the air. Look ahead in the direction your arm is pointing and mentally extend your arm outward for hundreds of feet, imagine reaching and touching a distant object.

• Maintain this focus and have the person try to bend your arm again. This time he or she will not be successful.

Tips:

• As with all the feats, practice this slowly with a friend and build your confidence before trying it in public. 

• Different visualizations work better for different people. Try thinking of your arm as a fire hose and shooting water. Or, think of yourself as being extremely thirsty and reaching across the room for a cold drink. 

• Do not make your arm completely straight keep a slight bend in your elbow and orient your arm so that the thumb side of your hand is up. 

• Ensure the person knows to bend the arm upwards not downwards. 

• Do not be distracted by the person attempting to bend your arm. Just keep your eyes forward and maintain your image of the arm being very long.
