VHS: Advanced Practical Chin Na V1

Everything you need to know to effectively master the seizing art of Chin Na, for all martial styles.

In his previously published, extensive Chin Na (Qin Na) video series, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming has demonstrated Chin Na speed and power training, instructed over 150 techniques and shown several hundred applications for every kind of situation.

In Advanced Practical Chin Na 1, Dr. Yang explains that for your Chin Na to be alive, it is most important for an advanced Chin Na practitioner to train and master a technique until it becomes an immediate natural reaction. In a self-defense or sparring situation, there is no time to 'think", and your opponent will not cooperate with you. By repeatedly training Chin Na techniques and understanding their application completely, you will respond to an opponent with an effective Chin Na when the time comes.

Learn how to choose the most practical techniques and apply them quickly in any situation. With a focus on the advanced principles of interception (trapping and sealing the opponent), and keeping a sense of distance to avoid a counterattack, Dr. Yang instructs each Chin Na technique and shows corrections and fine tuning of each technique, as students demonstrate.
