Chin Na is the art of seizing and controlling, it is a major
element of all Chinese martial arts including Tai Chi Chuan. Today,
most people practice Tai Chi Chuan to maintain health or cure
sickness. For the last fifty years the martial aspects of Tai Chi
Chuan have been ignored, and the art is now incomplete. Most
practitioners no longer understand the martial applications of Tai
Chi Chuan, or even that it is a martial art. For example, the
concept and training methods of Tai Chi Jin (or Tai Chi martial
power), and how to apply internal Qi in the martial arts have
become an unfamiliar subject in Tai Chi societies today. As a
result, actual martial applications of Jin and Qi, such as Chin Na
or Cavity Strikes, are currently not popularly known or studied. To
preserve Tai Chi's martial aspect, this book presents numerous Tai
Chi Chin Na (Qin Na), the art of controlling an opponent through
joint locks and cavity strikes. Tai Chi Chin Na is one of the four
main martial training categories of Tai Chi Chuan (the other three
categories are striking, kicking, and wrestling/downing the
opponent). Of all these four, Chin Na is the most effective,
practical, powerful, and easiest to learn. Once you have mastered
Tai Chi Chin Na, you will be able to apply the theory and
techniques to any other martial style you practice. If you are a
Tai Chi beginner, Tai Chi Chin Na could offer you a key to enter
the door of martial Tai Chi. This book provides a solid and
practical approach to learning Tai Chi Chin Na accurately and
quickly. You will learn specific techniques that flow from each
movement, the proper hand forms to use when striking or pressing
cavities, and the locations for targeting cavities on the body.
