In the endless rounds of My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours, there will eventually come a time when one's self-directed training (or lack thereof) will no longer prove sufficient to the task. The character must then find a Mentors who will help him tap into his inner strength and develop new and more powerful attacks. This invariably requires multiple rounds of Training From Hell, or a difficult quest (which is the same thing disguised as a trip). This is the usual manner in which a character will learn how to perform Ki Attacks. Sometimes done in a flashback to surprise the viewer.
