By used what do you mean? Martial arts are just trained movements, meditation, and fighting moves, it is of my opinion that ki is just a method of disciplining the student. There is no objective observable ki in the physical world; believe what you will in your tai chi class or whatever, but such ideas have no support in the real world.

Trigotron was speaking of well-known, observable forces and phenomena. Ki does not "most certainly" exist; I'm not saying it doesn't, but it is not observed.

I was talking about how martial arts classes make "Chi Balls" and it is a normal practice.

Yes, you are correct that it is not supported in "the real world" but it does happen.

I think you're confusing energy with intentional mental focus. Those energy balls you speak of aren't "energy". They are a mental exercise in concentration and focus of attention. The practitioners of such things do indeed visualise it as being an actual force but - in that aspect - it's not much different from hypnosis. It's merely a visualization technique.

No, it is most definitely a ball of energy. There can be two different forms of practice occurring, but I am quite positive of the one I am talking about, however, I can assume that what you are talking about happens as well.
