Product Description:
This book explores Shaolin Chin Na by presenting 150 techniques with detailed instructions for teaching yourself. Chin Na (Qin Na) is one of the four major fighting categories in all Chinese martial styles. The four categories are: kicking (Ti), Striking (Da), Wrestling (Shuai), and Seize-Controlling (Na). Joint lock Chin Na techniques can be effectively used against an opponents grabbing attacks as well as against wrestling. Pressing and striking Chin Na can be used to seal the opponents breathing, vein/artery, or Qi circulation, which can cause severe pain, numbness, unconsciousness, or even death. Most of Chin Na can be learned easily and be adopted into any martial style. Chin Na has been known as the root of the Japanese arts of Jujitsu and Aikido, and practitioners can use the study of Chin Na to increase their understanding of the theory and principles of their own arts. In this new edition. -Old Chinese spelling system has been replaced by the new academic Pinyin system. -Chinese characters are included in the text. -New information has been added whenever it will help the reader. -Old techniques have been modified according to the author's current understanding. -New photographs to improve the angle of the techniques and overall layout. -The ability to control an opponent through Chin Na is one of the highest measures of martial skill. -Teach yourself with this book, even if you have never studied martial arts before. -50 Chin Na techniques photographed and explained! -Improve your skills with the many training methods, attacks, and counterattack techniques detailed in this book. -Increase your fighting options! -Chin Na is easily integrated with any martial style. -Heal training injuries with section on Chin Na very first aid, including herbal remedies. -Go beyond joint locks with vein and artery sealing, dividing the muscles/tendons, and misplacing the bone.

I am a teacher of Yoshinkan Aikido with 30 years of training in various martial arts, including Taichi and now Chin Na. I have been familiar with Dr Yang's works but never owned any of his books until last year. I finally had an opportunity to attend one of his seminars and now study with some of his students. I am also trying to collect as much of his works as I can.
I found this book to be an excellent resource in my Chin Na studies and to help learn the techniques I am learning from the students of Chin Na and on the YMAA DVDs that I own.
But, as the title suggests, this is for ALL styles.
I am always looking at how martial arts are inter-related and share common techniques and principles. I also look for variations on techniques in my style and try to work them into my training and teaching.
This book is not only helping me to learn Chin Na but has brought more depth to my Aikido.

I have been an instructor of kung fu for many years and this is one of the most valuable books I think any martial artist can own. It claims that it is an instructors guide, but it is sooo much more than that. All of my students are exposed to this book on a regular basis. The descriptions are flawless.

THE REAL Ju-Jitsu!! Chin Na (Qin Na) means to Seize an CONTROL~ I have taught a lot of people self defense and martial arts techniques with this style of training. (Thanks to Dr. Yang and everyone @ his Boston HQ!) This was originally designed for INSTRUCTOR's USE which allows even the beginner a very deep look into the physiology of WHY each move works with the body. Anyone can do this style. Great for FEMALEs who can learn to use leverage and angles rather than just strength to overcome an opponent. The techniques in here are very real and are designed to STOP an attacker. When the ancient arts say stop, they mean S T O P~ you must practice safely with your friends. Pain and INJURY are different. Pain is a indicator flag, Bend knees and TAP. Injury can easily be avoided with proper respect. In a real situation, don't hold back. Also good with this is the book: Comprehensive Applications of Shaolin Chin Na, and Tai Chi Chin Na along with their newly available DVD's!

I have found all of the material from Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming to be very helpful as a reference. It has been invaluable when I have not been able to get to class for long stretches and need some clarification when practicing at home. The descriptions and drawings make it easy to understand the movements and he covers a lot of material in each publication. There isn't a true substitute for in-class training, but this is a fantastic supplement, regardless of the art one is studying.
