The Bio-Electric Magnetic Energy, Chi, that the brain uses to communicate with the muscles and tendons is cultivated and increased through Chi Kung (breathing) exercises.  This is what separates Martial arts from other disciplines like boxing and other types of fighting.  In Japanese styles this is called Ki and is expounded by a Kia (or yell).  Even though I don't put the candle out with every press watch the candle move.  Your welcome to try this, and you may even put the candle out yourself, everyone has Chi.  You will soon see that its harder than it looks, especially the the two finger and punch.  This video was shot after about 10 minutes of doing this, and no, I'm not blowing them out.  At the school we work this on rare occasions like this night.
