Hello everyone,

Sam Chin will be visiting and teaching a Qinna intensivein Manhattan, on October 16 & 17, from 12pm-5pm both days.

This is going to be a phenomenal seminar with Sam teaching entries to Qinna applications from the pushing hands range. If you are interested in either Qinna or Pushing Hands, be sure not to miss this seminar.

This seminar is going to sell out - last year's seminar sold out by October 9, and I expect this year's to sell out even sooner.

Please reserve your spot soon and, if you are from out of town, be sure to book your hotel as October in NYC tends to be busier than some other months.

Full seminar description is below.

Qinna (Chin Na)
The Art of Joint Locking
with Sam Chin

This weekend we will study Qinna (Chin Na), the art of joint locking. Traditionally part of all Chinese styles, today knowledge of Qinna has become rare.

Rather than focusing on specific techniques, Sam Chin will introduce us to a variety of entries, from which all locking techniques become possible.

By focusing on a handful of entries and developing familiarity with the structure of the body, the practice of Qinna develops the ability to react spontaneously to attacks, following the opponent's force instead of attempting to find a specific lock.

Here is what you will learn this weekend:

1. Four Directions of Grabbing with your Yin side:

  • First Position from top
  • Second Position from inside
  • Third Position from bottom
  • Fourth Position from outside




2. Four Directions of Grabbing with your Yang side:

  • First Position from inside
  • Second Position from bottom side
  • Third Position from outside
  • Fourth Position from top




3. Spin to Tap:

  • Crossing Hand
  • Wrist Locking
  • Elbow Locking
  • Finger Locking




4. The Eight Cycles - opportunities for Qinna applications.



5. Overview of the Four Directions of Grabbing.
