The Ki , being a specific word in its source language, is relatively difficult to explain. Referring to spirituality, it is synonymous with a mixture of several concepts such as energy, the vital force even the potential of an intention.

Often related to the martial practices, it expresses the power which a practitioner can allot to his technique. The Ki necessarily passes by the center of gravity of the body: the belly, the Hara (Japanese), or more precisely three or four centimetres in lower part of the navel.

The Ki in practice martial is not limited to the muscular power of the body, on the contrary it is the result of the drain of the energy transmitted by all the mass of the body and transmitted towards the members requiring this energy in order to achieve a martial technique.

Beyond that, the Ki is also synonymous with energetic potential. It can be the result of a mental intention to develop a physical movement. One can benefit from the mental intention of the attacker, Shite (Japanese) with an aim of physically restoring it to him by the means of a technique in correctly channeled physical energy. The mental intention to carry the attack then is also regarded as an energetic potential, by definition, the Ki .
