I assume by "chi" that you mean a form of tangible energy that can be invoked and manipulated by the human body to perform supernatural feats, then yes, there is no such thing.
In regards to the NatGeo video you posted, Some of the things the touring Shaolin monks do are incredible feats of strength, acrobatics, and flexibility; others are simply parlor tricks or adopted stage magic. There is not a single "chi master" in modern history that can demonstrate any form of "chi" or energy manipulation on any level.
The burden of proof is on the claimant. Don't trot out Shaolin videos to make your point. Just because you say science can't explain them, don't make it true. There's a reason the James Randi prize from supernatural talent has not been claimed by any of these supposed chi masters. All modern chi proponents have utterly failed to produce even a single verifiable instance of energy manipulation or other supernatural chi talent.
It's simply charlatanism and
chicanery.
