I am going to say what I can say as a Japanese speaker about the three terms that you have created. None of those would sound or look like a good technical term to Japanese ears or eyes. They simply do not make sense to Japanese speakers. Those are linguistically almost impossible and very strained-sounding words for us. 動き（うごき） is a simple and plain originally Japanese word with Japanese sounds. 気 is a Chinese loan word with the Chinese-like sounds. Normally, we do not combine two words of different origins, especially when one (気) is much "higher" and "bigger" as a word than the other. I have just come up with this new word 転気（てんき）. It has none of the unnaturalness of the three that you came up with. It is Chinese-on-Chinese but when Japanese speakers see it, they could easily visually "see" the meaning of it because of the kanji used. They could easily imagine that it is about "moving a 気 from point A to point B". But then again, I know nothing about 気功, so please take what I have said with a grain of salt. What I have said in terms of linguistics, however, you can count on. Those three DO NOT work. Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
