This story starts a long time ago. I lived in Ohio as a child growing up. It wasn't until later on in life that I remembered the first manifestation of my abilities. It was in 4th grade and I had a nasty migraine headache. I wanted it to go away so badly I envisioned a beam of green light from my forehead going to another kid's forehead. After about 5 minutes of focusing my migraine left and the kid had my migraine now. I didn't think anything of it. I can recall always having so much energy. I could recall many feats of strength, reflex, and speed. I really didn't think anything unusual about any of it. I was a gifted martial artist Easily picking up on it and being natural at it. During my teens I took it seriously and begin meditation. That's when I discovered something. I could see and feel my energy flowing. Like a river of water flowing. I kept practicing and got better. I was foolish. I asked my Derek to let me punch him. Him being much bigger than me I asked him if I could punch him with a powered up punch. He agreed. So I started to draw energy from my core and concentrate it in my fist. I could feel the energy flowing and build up. So I charged a extra amount of energy to be a catylist and pushed it through the motion of my swing and smash into the built up energy in my fist and hit "through" him. Meaning the kinetic and loge energy went through him and knocked him out. I couldn't have done this without proper training. I even caught my ex's nephew from 30 feet away with my fast reflexes. He had fell and I caught him. This is who I am. Just a guy. Just a man on a journey. Self taught. Self disciplined. I'm humbled and grounded. Even my trials and obstacles have shaped and molded me. I cannot tell you what or how. But to this day. I can fill every cell of my body with energy and amplify my natural abilities. Strength, speed, endurance, reflexes, will, spirit, and senses. I have been able to do it four times over. Which puts a strain on my body.
This is my state of my mind. I am humble, caring, honest, selfless. I love hard. Truth and justice matters to me. I cannot stand lies. Or evil. I have sacrificed 1000 fold over. People have tried to take me down. Crush my spirit. Kill me. The manifestation of my powers are a direct result of who I am as person. It was until I realized that this was the key to my true potential. Love. I care about people but it's the key to my powers. I will not let anyone imprison me and shackle me down. I have broke free and finally know who I am and what I am. I am indigo child. Dragon heart. A warrior. I am the embodiment of peace, love, and truth. Everything I do is a direct result of those things. This is how my abilities operate. Through those principles.
Unfortunately, we students in the modern West are taught an anemic and bastardized version of the movement arts, and often this leads to the kinds of violent accidents that you described. I am proud of you for growing and learning and harnessing the true power of peace and integrity in your art now. So good to know there are more people like me out there who are oracticing the arts with real chi.
