Pragmatists fall into two categories: the rational believer and the rational skeptic. The rational believer views ki as an not well understood energy generated within the human body that may be developed, controlled, and used. The rational skeptic views ki as a synergy of various psychological and physical effects within the human body that has no real existence as a separate force but is a useful concept that may be developed, controlled and used. 

To Develop Ki

To develop ki, we train to:

• Open, connect, and relax the body

• Focus, develop, and strengthen the mind

• Develop some synergistic combination of 1 and 2

Modern Ki

Modern Taekwondo students are not too concerned with the metaphysical aspects of ki; they just want to know what it is, what it does, and how may it help them. Many Taekwondo practitioners view ki as an expedient concept that includes intentions, momentum, will, and attention. If students believe that ki may literally be extended, whether they understand it true meaning or not, it may give them a physical and psychological edge over an opponent. Whether you believe in the physical existence of ki or not, a belief in its physical effects will give you increased power and confidence.
