Bruce very much believed in all that "Chi mumbo jumbo."
It is the force supposedly at play in all the soft styles. Tai Chi, Pa Qua, Yin Yang, etc. It is supposedly what lets a 70 yo little old wizened tai chi master throw a man twice his size 20 feet with the slightest of movement.
Me, i don't know personally, but Bruce believed it was real.
