Bai He quan - ChinNa

[taichiyue]

This a great demonstration of Chen style Tai Chi. Highly recommended.

[Thecrazyjords]

@taichiyue It's White Crane, not taichi.

[houseofthetruewayma]

Always enjoy anything by Dr. Yang.  Well done!

[bloodybirds]

I am very proud to say one of my three masters after 34 years is Sifu Jeff Bolt, who is Dr. Yang's senior student of 37 years, where they met at Purdue during the early to mid 70s. When Dr. Yang used to come to Houston for seminars, to watch him and Sifu Bolt execute jing, chin na, white crane, tai chi, etc, was incredible to behold! Thank you Dr. Yang and Sifu Bolt for all of your knowledge!

[TheZhongzheng]

Great Stuff!

[HeavensAMountain]

Really clean execution, and excellent applications!

[negoni08]

Excellent, perfomance

[Electricianassistant]

that guy is so badass its not even funny.

[RhadeConstantine]

awesome i wanna learn this

[Yoshin9]

Chin Na is not better than Jujitsu; the same techniques are in Jujitsu because it was influenced by Chin Na. Please know your history before posting. As a Japanese Jujitsu student I have every respect for Chin Na, we just make out movements tighter to deal with the urban environment rather than the rice fields of China. Wing Chun also developed to deal with closed in areas.

[vashcat]

I have seen this in his book I recommend it.

[zeventhirteen]

[Doryfoam]

So effective when well executed !!

[bsloow]

[hgearangler]

yes, very good and effective !! thx for sharing !!

[punhada]

THis is real CHINNA not Fred Villari china

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

Forgive my ignorance... is this a part of kung fu or is it a different martial art?

I had never seen it, but it`s quite interesting.

[kenadra13]

It's not a different martial art. Qin na is one of the 4 main skills in martial arts (with grappling, punching, and kicking), and it is in almost every Chinese styles. These are qin na technics from white crane (bai he quan).

[UmDiaEuFicoBom]

Thanks. Intereting stuff.

[jackylin24]

Chin na is a chinese grappling art. You can call it Kung Fu b/c that term can be used to describe all Chinese martial arts. Its techniques are also commonly used in a lot of different Kung fu styles. Mostly used in internal forms. I know Tai Chi can sometimes incorporate some Chin na. In this case u are seeing Bai He Quan.

[qwertyuploader]

I learn Chin Na in my Shaolin Kung Fu class, and it's very... sweet

[Loyaldark]

martial arts = kungfu=wugong

[jackylin24]

yes whats your point?? Chin na = 擒拿 is a term for joint locking which is used many differnt style of Kung Fu

[taijihitman]

@jackylin24 Chin Na means twisting and grabbing,

[jackylin24]

@taijihitman yes literally it does. It's still a term for joint manipulation

[taijihitman]

@jackylin24 no shit

[jackylin24]

@taijihitman exactly no shit

[taijihitman]

@jackylin24 no one said it didnt fuckstick

[jackylin24]

@taijihitman what's with the name calling? you were the one who replied to me about "Chin na means twisting and grabbing" no shit

[taijihitman]

@jackylin24 listen douche read your comments, you worte chi na is a martial art, i said it means twisting and grabbing (and is used in marital arts not an art in itseld) end of story, name calling is to let you know that your annoying, so need not reply if you dont like being called a fuckstick

[jackylin24]

@taijihitman shut the fuck up.. this is not going to turn out to be a pissing match. if all you wanna do is argue on the internet then go ahead. no more responses from me. I have a fuckstick btw and it's up your ass

[taijihitman]

@jackylin24 no more respones suits me fine, by the way i hope you cleaned that fuckstick after you used it on your mom and sisters, : P

[macusugnu]

Traditional chinese systems sometimes uses a triadic theory-kicking and punching is defeated by wrestleing moves-wrestleing by chin-na and chin na by kicking and punching. The three basic fighting theories have ranges and applicable movements which can cross over, a punch, kick, etc. interspersed in wrestleing moves as an example. As far as the arts-they all will follow this triadic doctrine by nescesity physics demands this. Physics not history defines the efficiency of an art.

[yourdrchan]

Very interesting, what do you study?

I would say quick hands stop clinching; take downs nullify kicks and kicks over power punches.

[kempobrad]

how do quick hands stop clinching?

[yourdrchan]

Is that a serious question?

[kempobrad]

yes it is. in my opinion clinching stops quick hands. lol

[yourdrchan]

"Quick hand" is not limited to only striking. The position of hands is to prevent the closing of distance. Once the initial contact is made, wrist control, over under, and whizzer are used to create daylight for the defender; those techniques are also "quick hands". In Mantis, Ba Ji and other close combat systems, many of these techniques can be seen as wrist grips/clean, elbow tie-up/control and shoulder-arm bridge or drag. Hope the info helps/clarifies.

[nobodyspecial4u]

im not going to get into the debate over where what started and when, i only have one question. how often in a streetfight does your opponent grab your wrist or shirt collar?

[wp1509]

I think that Chin Na techniques ought to be combined with punches and there should be flexible use of both according to the situation.

[nobodyspecial4u]

that is all fine and dandy but really when does someone grab your wrist in a fight?

[2008August30]

Any law enforcing person will grab you and try to restrain you. What better opportunity can you get to practice your Chin Na on them and let them know whos boss? Perfect for protesters, rioters and people who just enjoy disturbing the peace.

[nobodyspecial4u]

ok now that makes sense

[wp1509]

Well, our master told us that Chin Na should only be used at the right time and under no circumstances we should force it. If not sure better punch first and then try.

[danbau08]

What are you kidding?

[Lukevp1]

i trane bai he quan for a while and i learned some techniques this ones are pretty cool..and eficient

[Godsmasher22]

Well the techniques are nice, and interesting. But the editing is for shit.

[Ironpyrites]

kempobrad clearly you are a knob and are not interested in the truth only your own opinion. I should imagine your fighting skills are as good as your knowledge of history, crap.

[Ironpyrites]

You could argue that the true roots of martial arts come from India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Its not what something was or where it came from, but what it is now and where it belongs, wouldn't you agree?

[jangear]

Waow do you guys have a school in London?

[birralandia]

Io pratico tai chi (stile Chen) ma il mio maestro non hai mai sentito parlare di Chin Na T_T mi sembra l'arte marziale più bella del mondo!

[Tomcio1980]

no??? Io pratico Wushu e lo stile chin-na è un fondamentale per le prese e leve. E ti assicuro che è straordinariamente efficace.. saluti

[JasonHeriford]

I learned all these techniques fighting with my brother and friends when I was a kid. Then I learned them again doing Kali Silat when I was a little older:)

But the Doc is the most proliforifical joint-lock expert ever....hands down!!!

[see6560562]

Chi na is just part of the fight.

Good chinese martialartist never assume the opponent be static.

They just block and intercept and use chi na when the bridges cross.

[Baudricourt]

Hahaha ! Dr Yang, his book was my biblec !

[dopiceee]

maybe it's because both jujitsu and hapkido and also aikido takes much from chinese qinna ;)

[kempobrad]

actually hapkido and aikido come directly from aikijujutsu/jujutsu. which in my opinion and based on my research does NOT come from chin na. as i stated below, there are definate influences within the arts from other countries. but its silly to say that japan got its joint locks from chin na exclusively.

[roywilliams61]

Chin Na is older than Jujitsu and Hapkido, somewhere around the shaolin kung fu times. Some techniques from Hapkido are modified china. I've studied several martial arts, and I believe Chin Na is really a good place to start learning.

[kempobrad]

not entirely accurate, there are records of japanese jujutsu/chin na type arts being practiced in korea and japan long before any recorded contact with china. based on my own research, the biggest thing japan got from china was striking, not joint locking as most think. some very old chinese arts some say actually came from korea originally too. who knows for sure? doesnt really matter.

[kempobrad]

how is it better? it's quite similar actually. they are all linked. each has its own history and lineage, and each has been influence by the others over the years. but of course kung fu people like to think that everything came from china. not intended to be a slight on china or kung fu. it's just that in my research it's untrue. and a bit silly to think all martial arts came from one place.

[ukbassmassive]

although i do agree with you,you do realise that kempo translates into shaolin don`t you? i mean obviously fighting techniques have been around since the beginning of time but from my studies and many books i do have much evidence of the japanese borrowing from chinese culture,especially as china is one the oldest civilisations on earth etc

[kempobrad]

no it doesnt. the japanese translation of shaolin is shorin. ie..shorin ryu..shorinji ryu (shaolin temple). borrowed maybe. not strictly stole from or based upon. i've seen evidence contrary to what you say. as well as some that agrees. at any rate, its still silly to say all martial arts came from china, its simply untrue. and the translation of kempo is fist method or fist law...pronounced chuan fa in mandarin chinese.

[Ironpyrites]

"The truth is not what you want it to be, it is what it is, you yield to the truth or live a lie". Hagakure (In the shadow the Leaves): The Book of the Samurai. Bushido. Iaidō, Kyūdō, Kendo. These are all original Japanese arts. Karate and jitsu styles all originated from Okinawa. The Okinawas learnt from the Chinese.

[kempobrad]

first "jitsu" is not an art at all. yes karate came from okinawa, noone claimed otherwise. but it is NOT strictly chinese in origin. read any karate history and it'll explain that is was heavily influenced from chinese kempo, but also based on indigenous okinawan systems. and later even influenced by the satsuma clan of japan. it's simply untrue and silly IMO to say all martial arts are from china.

[Ryokushindo]

@Pauljos79 What a silly comment. What are you 9 yo?

[Pauljos79]

Yes, maybe my comment was silly. I have 7 years doing Jujitsu and Hapkido and I never saw Chin Na before and I was so impressed. I never know about japanese or korean style that has all that categories of techniques that Chin Na has: Bone Displacement, Muscle grabbing and muscle tears techniques, Sealing the air and sealing the vein techniques and Stricking and pressing cavities. I was talking about that.

[brutusisfree]

not as efective as it might look, a moderately inteligent opponent will realize what you are trying to do and will easily escape. that said, there are a few good moves, but if you believe in grappling, joint locking or reflex arc's it would be best to study a mixture of asian styles including greco-roman wrestling.

[teresalopezm]

Umm in white crane this is only part of the training so you must take into account that the practioner will probably be hitting you real hard and while he's doing that set up an appropiate joint lock! also they train for sensitivity and to be able to switch into a different hold according to how you resist.

[brutusisfree]

Ive fought one practitioner so far, so my judgments may be clouded or weak, but the one I fought I managed to defeat with a version of Russian military martial arts.

The match was stopped once I had him in a leg lock (Im not sure of the translation but it involves the breaking of a hip) and I managed to escape his attempts with a few sprains/dislocations (he threw out one of my discs so Im not doing THAT again...)

Granted, I was a little bigger the him.

[Tazz77]

Leg locks are also found in chin-na. There is a lot more to it than what they show here.

[strokerman01]

I think the real key to its inneffectiveness is the static opponent. Watch the move set. No one in any kind of live situation, even sparring, is going to leave their leg that far extended for such a long period of time (if at all). Thus the problem with most martial arts. As Bruce Lee said, they look pretty but aren't effective at all.

[Ironpyrites]

Its up to you to make your opponent.static is it not? A good stun tech will make this so

[JJB0891]

chinese joint locking rocks

[latestart]

So cool! Thanks for posting!
