Chin Na is the art of seizing and controlling, and is an element of all Chinese martial arts including Taijiquan. For the last fifty years the martial aspects of Taijiquan have been ignored, and the art is now incomplete.
Most practitioners no longer understand the martial applications of Taijiquan, or even that it is a martial art. To help restore Taijiquan's martial heritage, and to help practitioners improve their self-defnse skills, this book presents 85 Chin Na techniques for controlling and subduing an opponent.
