WORKSHOP 1 CHIN NA |
| Chin Na means seize and control, or literally twist and bend, or as we affectionately call it in class, "twist and shout". It is the Tai Chi Chuan art of intercepting an incoming opponent and controlling them through joint locking. Subduing the adversary in a fashion that is flowing and dynamic allowing safety for the individual while decreasing the potential of the attacker for their intended nefarious schemes. The joint locking techniques are paired with cavity pressing, bone misplacement, arterial sealing, acupuncture pressure point and muscle capturing movements which prevent the attacker from obtaining their desires and allow you to stay safe. These are dynamic martial techniques that require little strength but do require proper attention to angles, timing, leverage, and pressure. No previous experience is necessary. Everyone will come out of the seminar with an enhanced sense of preparedness. The three hour workshop will cover a great deal of material and will increase the confidence of every player. |
