10 am - 6pm (lunch 1pm - 3pm), Loughlinstown Leisure Centre
'Chin Na' (Qin Na) means 'Seize and Control'. This ancient Shaolin grappling art is the study of controlling an opponent through joint locks and acupuncture cavities.
Dr. Yang will explain that for your Chin Na to be alive, it is most important for a Chin Na practitioner to train and master a technique until it becomes an immediate natural reaction. In a self-defence or sparring situation, there is no time to 'think", and your opponent will not cooperate with you. By repeatedly training Chin Na techniques and understanding their application completely, you will respond to an opponent with an effective Chin Na when the time comes.
Learn how to choose the most practical techniques and apply them quickly in any situation. With a focus on the advanced principles of interception (trapping and sealing the opponent), and keeping a sense of distance to avoid a counterattack
Chin Na is part of almost all Chinese martial styles, and it can be a valuable addition to any other martial system. This seminar will be divided into groups according to experience and is suitable for complete beginners as well as continuing practitioners.
