I remember reading an article in the Wing Lam catalogue/magazine/newsletter about how in the olden days, Chin Na techniques were not so sophisticated. Most of the more used and effectively implemented locking techniques were things that we would not call "beginner" level stuff, and they required some more strength than what you'd expect - because of the fact that in real life people resist, things move fast, and fights evolve in ways that you don't expect. If I recall correctly, the article said that the intriate or complex chin na techniques we see now is great in teaching us more depth of knowledge about chin-na, but it's somewhat of an academic extrapolation and exploration of what is possible. What do you guys think of this? I tend to agree with this statement.
