Qin Na, “Seize and Control” is known for its effectiveness in controlling opponents through its techniques of locking joints or muscles/tendons, thereby setting up the next step of strikes, cavity presses and other potential attacks to opponents.

Chinese Qin Na is the root of the Japanese martial arts of Aikido and Jujitsu and is part of most Chinese martial styles. Clearly it is a useful addition to any martial style.

Dr. Yang is famous for his Qin Na techniques derived from his White Crane and Long Fist background. Many have studied his books and video tapes. However, to grasp the subtle techniques of Qin Na you must learn and feel the technique directly from an expert. The numbers (#) listed under each Level correspond to the Qin Na techniques listed in Analysis of Shaolin Chin Na written by Dr. Yang. This seminar will also include some “hidden” techniques not included in the books.
