400 YEARS TRAINING FAKE MARTIAL ARTS.

Added 2025-09-02 03:14:57 +0000 UTC

If someone relentlessly trained in martial arts often labeled as "fake" (like staged or non-combative practices such as Tai Chi for health, Aikido in its softest forms, or even performance arts like movie kung fu) for 400 years, a few things could happen—assuming supernatural longevity:

Physical

Incredible body control: Even “fake” arts train balance, breath, coordination, and awareness. Over centuries, you’d refine movements beyond human limits—like absolute fluidity.

Extreme longevity body: Continuous low-impact movement (like Tai Chi) is linked to slower aging in real life. Over 400 years, this could make you unnaturally youthful.

Strength in disguise: While not built for combat, your body would have insane tendon strength, joint flexibility, and subtle power.

Mental / Spiritual

Perfect calm: Centuries of meditative motion would give a Buddha-like mind. You’d move without thought, in pure flow.

Illusory aura: “Fake” arts, practiced long enough, would look supernatural—like chi blasts or no-touch throws. To others, you’d appear godlike, whether real or not.

Practical Combat

Without external pressure testing (sparring, fighting), your skills may not “work” in real combat. But with 400 years of practice, even a “fake” punch becomes devastating—because skill over time rewrites the body’s physics.

So the result: you’d transcend martial arts entirely, becoming more like a living myth—a being who moves as if reality bends to their gestures.

Above is an image capturing what that would look like after 400 years of relentless “fake martial arts” training.
