Do some Christians, Muslims, Jews, think chi (ch’i, ki, or Qi) is of Satan!?

I used to take kung fu when I was younger and when it got back to some of the people at my church (I’m agnostic-atheist now) they warned me against demonic influences and said that chi was of the devil! I was young and didn’t think anything of it.

Then, a few times on here, I’ve seen religious zealots post similar things: about ch’i/martial arts being of Lucifer, yadda yadda, yick yack.

Are these SERIOUSLY held beliefs?! And if so, on what grounds?!
@Kou:
On what grounds? You don’t explain WHY it is “evil” or “borderline” and “best avoided”

Which Kung fu style should I choose?

OK theres a Chinese kung fu center that I’m going to but I’m not sure which style to choose. This is the list: Shaolin Ch’uan, tai chi ch’uan, Baguazhang, Hsing yi ch’uan, Pakuazhang ( zhang might be a typo because Baguazhang and Pakuachang are the same thing, but on the webpage it says pakuazhang so……. yeah), and Shuai chiao

I want to know which one is the rarest and or most useful in real life, thank you.
No, I was never there. I’m going to go there and I just want some information before I go.

Chinese kung fu, Tai Chi Ch¡¯uan, Wing Chun, Choy Li Fut are some of the well known martial arts. I am on the lookout for some educative articles about these art forms.
