There's two versions of "chi". One is a mystical kind of magical energy, and the other is just a catch-all pre-science term for energy, momentum, and force. "Chi" as a concept for lines of force along an axis - where the joints make fulcra and the muscles are pullies - is just a pre-modern conceptualization of biomechanics. Of course... most of that line of thinking has faded back because magical woo is just easier to explain and more appealing to average people.

Nah those "chi" guys were simply scammers. The real notion of "chi" is just about energy in movement, posture, intent, breath, inertia, weight, speed, etc etc. Kinetic linking is a basic well known principle that is necessary for developping force in any striking arts, and it's one way to use "chi". Wannabe fighters just lack energy and throw their energy everywhere. That's what learning to control chi means for experienced martial artists. That's the "flow" you have when you get good. You don't waste yourself, and when you do something, it's with full on intent. You learn to "roll with the punches" in boxing, you learn to counter, you learn to take down opponents... that's all about managing the energy. The more conscious of that aspect you are, the better you get. Feeling the balance of the other. Feeling his tension. Feeling his intent. Reading him. Filling the gaps with your own chi is simply using force in the openings. Shattering/disrupting his chi is about getting him so off-guard that it feels like he "missed a step in a staircase". That instinctive panic, is when "he got you good". Then he's not ready to take your energy.
Forget those scammers, they are everywhere in every martial art sadly.

Chi is more misunderstood than any aspect of traditional martial arts. It’s an old science. It’s an understanding of mechanics before science existed. You can understand “you” better by understanding what chi means to movement, and alignment. If you want to externalize that understanding, you won’t do that successfully unless you train to fight every bit as thoroughly as your opponent. And you can also do that training without chi understanding.
