The former is supposed to stress the use of ch'i -- a kind of life force circulating in the body. The latter is supposed to pay more attention to the physical side of things.

Will have to read up again to refresh my memory, but for now it might interest you that the ch'i emitted by martial artists was supposed to have been found by scientists to be capable of altering the molecular structure of liquids.
Thanks a load KT ONG ....... i really must find about the "ch'i" cause it seems interesting, and if you find anything more about it do tell me please.
