    Wow, a chance to be useful! Sweet.

    I've practiced martial arts for a while. "Chi" is, indeed, vital
    energy (and equates to Bardon's definition, to an extent), but there
    are two other energies that esoteric Kung Fu practitioners make use
    of that most people aren't aware of, for hwatever reason: "jing"
    and "shen."

    Jing, put simply, is matter - not immovable, immutable matter, but
    rather something that's easily changed. I'm not articulating it very
    well, but it's how esoteric martial artists explain how they break
    boards, bricks, ice blocks, and so on - one can accumulate this sort
    of energy by exercising in certain ways, so it doesn't really require
    much in the way of occult knowledge.

    Shen, on the other hand, directly relates to the spiritual, and
    corresponds easily with the Astral Plane. Dragon-stylists of the Five
    Animals schools work with this, I think.

    Chi you're familiar with - it's life force, more or less.

    In any case, I'm pulling all this from memory. I hope it's helpful;
    I'll post again after I'm able to do a bit of research.
