Yes, just different words for the same thing.
In Chinese, chi is written as 气,or in the archaic 炁, and pronounced as qi4. It is therefore also written as 'qi' in English. Other written forms including ki and kei.

In the Chinese belief, Chi is known as the vital energy that keeps all living things alive.

What are Chi and Ki?

They are words for the "life force", the energy in the universe and in all things. Martial arts teach how to feel and use the power of this force."Chi" is the Chinese name for this energy and "Ki" is the Japanese word for it.For examples: The word chi is used in the martial art Tai Chi and ki is a part of the word Reiki which is Japanese for universal life force that is used in the practice of Reiki, an energy healing discipline.See the related questions for more information.


How do you get ki?

Ki is something that everyone has. It is the life energy that flows through our bodies. This can be strengthened, and you can learn to use it through years of practice. You can gain Ki or Ch'i with your breathing. Breathe in through your nose and guide it to your dantien, or hara (about 3" below your belly button and 3" in). picture a light in your dantien that brightens as you draw in your breath. Chi will follow your mind and can be directed to where it is needed. Look into Chi kung for some good exercises to develop your Chi. Also Tai Chi. Meditate. You must also be relaxed. Tight muscles will greatly inhibit the flow of Chi. Use energy not muscle.


How do you perform a ki blast?

The ability to use chi as a weapon in martial arts is rooted in the strength of one's own willpower. How much of the universe's energies, according to Daoist and other mystic lore, one can use, is rooted in the strength of one's will. Basically you need an iron-clad mind, and it can take years of cultivation to develop a will strong enough to perform such a feat assuming its not a myth. The energy in the human body, is akin to water, all chi energy is. The more it gets stirred and circulated, the more it purifies itself, and the purer it is, the more life giving energy from the universe the body absorbs, eventually becoming so saturated with it, the body becomes a PART of the univese, hence immortal. The various Chinese arts of chi kung, and the Wudang family of martial arts such as Baguazhang, or Tai Chi Chuan, their ultimate aim is in fact immortality. To have enough mental and willpower strength however, to "blast" chi, according to lore can take decades of arduous training. You are looking at 16 hours a day, even if you happen to be gifted.

Can you see ki energy?

not with your eyes - you sense it outside of your normal senses - i dont know what ki energy is but when i sense it, it is like a an energy "field" - the best way to put it is i dont feel it but just "sense" it - some people comment about "seeing" an aura but wither that is ki energy or not i dont know but its possible that their mind is interpretting what they sense in a visual way so that what they "see" is not really there optically but their mind telling them to see what they sense
