Abstract
Thirty-three Tae Kwon Do martial artists completed a computerized psi task to see if anecdotal reports of martial artists performing psychokinesis (PK) could be verified. Participants performed a computer PK task using a pseudo-RNG in order to determine whether martial artists would show PK ability on such a task, and to determine whether their level of training would influence their performance. Participants were divided into two groups: advanced, martial arts training of greater than two years; or, novice, martial arts training of six months or less. A series of tasks were executed by the martial artists: a physical warm-up, a computer PK task, and a forty item questionnaire concerning demographic variables, history in regards to psi functioning, attitudes about psi phenomena, mental/physical states, and psi processing mode, if any.
