In Japanese martial arts, the strategic use of force generated from the correct alignment and balance of the body.
From Japanese 'geneki' (現気), where 'gen' means 'present/actual' and 'ki' means 'energy' or 'spirit.' Describes the principle of manifesting internal energy effectively in martial performance.
The word 'ki' appears in karate, aikido, and even the Nintendo Wii controller—it's that untranslatable concept that energy and intention are inseparable, and the Japanese didn't just discover it in the gym!
