I'm a film writer and i want to know stuff about Chi-blocking.?

Question

I'm writing a movie (it is going to be a major motion picture) I need help with chi blocking techniques
Like where to hit someone and stuff like that. If you help and I chose you as best answer i will say this person helped me when the movie comes out .

Answer 1

Read works like those of Mantak Chia and other taoist alchemy people. That should give you enough ideas.



I don't know what chi block means, but I think Chia's books are what could help you.





Good luck! Sounds interesting.

Answer 2

Wait, you already sold the movie to a production company without a written script or even a treatment?



Having written movie scripts, submitted them to multiple production companies, and they didn't even make it past the reader. Let alone have I never heard of a movie getting a green light based upon a pitch.



For a fight scene you would not write in every action. You simply write "and they fight." Leave the scene up to the stunt coordinator and director.



Stick with the writing aspect and stay out of the stunt coordinator and directors "business."



You don't want to take up valuable page space detailing a fight scene. You only have 98 - 110 pages maximum for a script.

Edit:

Okay, let's say you have the funding and a distribution contract.

You would still be better served by researching "martial arts pressure point strikes" on the net. There are tons of videos on the net. Since you would also have suspension of belief you can write in almost anything. For instance a strike to the upper leg that causes paralysis.

Answer 3

Sorry, but you are a victim of misconceptions given about Chi and it's uses in martial arts propagated by movies. To my limited knowledge, while there is such a term as Chi blocking, it is used in a medical context, not martial context. Chi is a concept from Chinese internal medicine which basically states that all humans have Chi circulating in their bodies, it is the energy produced from the air we breath and is circulated all over our body to the different internal organs making them function as they should. When Chi circulation is hampered or is blocked, it results in illness, just like how a blocked artery results in High Blood pressure and ultimately lead to either cardiac arrest or a stroke. When your body experiences abnormal trauma or is poisoned(either by toxins or just a bad diet) it can result to blocked Chi circulation which indirectly also results to a malfunctioning organ. An acupuncturist then uses acupuncture needles to manipulate the flow or circulation of Chi in your body and redirect it's flow around the blocked path thereby bypassing it, so circulation is not interrupted and the affected area is allowed to heal. Many martial artists have attempted to harness this knowledge in Chinese Internal medicine to apply it to their martial arts. But while most are merely exaggerated claims that have no basis, there are a few legitimate styles like Tai Chi Chuan for example that do incorporate Chi manipulation as part of their training, but not in the exaggerated way it is depicted in movies.

Answer 4

I have no clue as to what you're talking about. Could you be more specific?



Okay, well there are many pressure points on the human body in various locations called various names. Over 300 to give it a ball park estimate. SO what do you want these pressure points to do exactly? Pressure points can be used for making technique applications easier, restraint, knock someone out, or simply cause pain.

Answer 5

Oh, please... where do you kids come up with these lame pretenses.



If you knew anything about writing or making movies you would know you don't "write" for a movie and get to direct it with a major movie studio unless you have a proven track record with the studio. And professional writers don't use words such as "like" and "stuff" and make grade-school grammatical errors such as "chose" instead of "choose", "i" and "i'm" instead of "I" and "I'm".

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
