Chi and Chakra in a fightin comic

Well first I would say study some King of Fighters characters (particularly 14) for a good display of fighting styles from around the world.

The second option sounds more fun, and visually appealing. Though be sure to spice up the energy waves, because I'm sick of power being represented as fire or lightening around a character.
Maybe do something like a mix of G Gundam and Jojo Bizzare adventure where a characters chakra/chi is represented by an overdesigned *force*

Funny you mention that. Tbh I'm still not sure how to represent it exactly, although I do have an idea.

>Most athletes have different visualizations of power/motivation.
>In-universe everyone calls this "energy" by a different name, even though most people agree that it's the same thing, whether it's chi, chakra, fighting spirit, "balls", energy, mana, etc.

>Because of this I'll take a key from Hajime no Ippo and go crazy with the illustrations of this energy

>For some people it might be puppet string holding them up
>For others it might be stereotypical fire/lightning

The second one.

Nobody wants a series where the fact that a boxer would fuck up all the cool shit we saw on television.
