chin na

[pete]

In watching Dr. Yang's material, he seems to apply Chin Na for holding/controling or breaking. His way of expressing some ideas amuses me. My favorites include, "you do this, now you can take him home.", "You really want to control someone you get him all the way to the ground. Now you can talk to him.", and "Do this, it is very painful."

my favorites are: when locking fingers "one finger is good, two fingers also good", and when using your free hand to enhance the lock... "one hand is for showing off"

Obviously, some techniques do not work well for controlling.

which ones? i've been to a couple of his seminars and have been training with a study group run by one of his senior students in ny. i haven't felt any that don't work when done correctly. maybe i can help, or at least find an answer for you...
