Chin-na, worth my time?

[Eyegouge]

Man i really apreciate all this input ya'll. Thanks. I did some looking and it seems to me quite a few hapkido locks are similar standing wrist and small joint locks like chin na and my kempo teacher has a couple years of hapkido he told me, and showed me a few. It's pretty cool, I like the control they offer.

I honestly dont consider it a system...the best public eye stuff is probably from Yang Jwing Ming (sp) he wrote several books that compile many of the recognized techniques into one place. comprehensive applications of Shaolin Chin na is a great start. If you already understand bjj or jjj it will be easy from the book.

Its CRITICAL to remember that chin na is one-3rd of things youre supposed to be doing not 100% of your attack.

Yang Jwing Ming's books would be a great place to start. I have 4 of his books and they are all great.

Chin-na can be effective as long as you have a good teacher teaching it to you and you have to have a good base in groundfighting.Its not to say that you cant be a good grappler with just chin-na but if you want to reach your full potential you gotta have some form of wrestling or judo and bjj.

...that these "grabbing and holding at a distance"(Chin-na!?!) techniques are momentary techniques...you have to know what the next step is going to be as people react differently to being grabbed by the throat!

[seanyseanybean]

wow, that was interesting. we use some of the techniques in the clip in TSD.

that's why your technique needs to be smooth, alive, fast, and powerful according to Yang Jwing-Ming. . .

And yet again with missing the value of the principles themselves? WHAT are we going to learn if we study Chi-Na? Sensitivity.... You will practice against many other types of fighters and learn how the reactions of one technique set up the positions for the technique you want to apply (next)... You will develop (incredible) reaction time by literally "knowing" or FEELING his momentum and directive energy often while or even BEFORE he completes his own action! This gives you the perceived reaction time that is MUCH FASTER than the actual movements... Like he is in S...L...O...W motion! You will develop a sensitivity to his BALANCE and how to best manipulate it to your advantage (and his DISADVANTAGE)

By developing the sensitivity to judge the distance, momentum, time and intent to gain your ever critical "attachment" you get a bit more from Chi-Na than you might from say "ground and pound"...

Don't tell me the "Jiu-Jitsu" (de Brazil) guys don't appreciate sensitivity? Or using multiple techniques simultaneously? C'mon folks it's a Martial Art is it not? Chi Na is a big part of any fight game, it's the part where you actually get your hands (and feet) on your victim (or attacker)...and do something to them to remove their will to fight.

I like the stuff myself and I think it will help any artist to be better at his own style. If you do Judo or Kempo, Silat or Kuntao, wrestling or BJJ... Hell, if you like to dance Chi-Na will help you with that too.
