There are many unexplained abilities that are trained, used, and sometimes taught today.
Throughout the world exist abilities and phenomena that are unexplainable using modern science - depending on geographical location
and culture these abilities are learned, taught, trained, and understood. Most of these abilities or powers can be looked at as a whole, and
one can find many that is similar, so that all is, indeed, linked and one, as opposed to being utterly different.
In general, China tends to specialize in energy manipulation for healing and combat, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis.
