Absolutely right, and here is the wikipedia article for reference.
It being a real thing still doesn't make it a good name for this ability specifically. They have nothing to do with each other other than general monks-use-Chinese-martial-arts-stuff themes.

Now we just have to wait for the developers to add a monk ability actually called 丹田 and watch our English localization team scramble to either call it something else entirely unrelated or retcon the existing cannon ability into some other name. I'm looking at you, massive amount of unnecessary thought put into renaming Labyrinth of the Ancients Titan.
