Chin Na In Depth - Courses 1 - 4 (YMAA) Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

Video is clear, the holds themselves are shown several times each, and from varying distances. Instructions are clear. My husband and I practice Goju Ryu and this series is enhancing what we practice at the dojo. Highly recommended.

This is the best Chin Na video series I've ever seen. Chin Na is the art of seizing and holding, and forms one of the four foundations of the Chinese Martial Arts (kicking (da), punching (ti), grappling (shuai) & seizing (na)). Most of the techniques come from Dr. Yang's background in the Southern White Crane system, a style famous for its Chin Na.This is mainly a reference material, as Books and DVDs do not make good primary instructional material for martial arts, so plan on attending a seminar or finding a good local school to get the most from this DVD.I also believe that although the techniques work well regardless of your background art, they are most effective when used in the White Crane system. So I additionally recommend "Shaolin White Crane Hard and Soft Qigong DVD" and "Shaolin White Crane Gong Fu Basic Training" by YMAA.

I like!

While I would like to give this DVD 5 stars, a few things hold me back, as far as martial arts DVDs goes, this is a good one. As said previously it cannot make up for one on one instruction. This DVD seems like it would be great for students who train shaolin white crane with Dr Yang, Jwing-Ming.For anyone who is currently training in a different style of kung fu and is interested in diversity, this DVD will probably not offer you much information that you haven't already acquired.For anyone not training but interested in learning some martial arts techniques, this DVD will probably not offer you much either because it focuses on precise control that is virtually impossible to grasp without the previously mentioned one on one training and repeated practice.For the price, I think your money would be better spent either signing up for some martial arts training, or if you already are training, buy materials offered by your school if you can.

Another great video by Dr Yang Jwing-Ming. I think that Chin Na is definitely more intricate than Shuai Jiao, and takes maybe more time to be proficient in.The DVD does explain the detail in the movements which is great.Obviously the way you get into each Chin Na technique could be various and flow from one to another once you become more proficient.These are the ABC's .

great company to do business with I got my product fast and the people are nice. Love the DVD easy to follow this training is perfect for women.

Highly recommend the series of Chin Na DVDs by YMAA. If you have experience in Ju-Jutsu, Aikido etc. you will be able to analyse the techniques and add them to your routines. This is an interesting approach to limb control and pain compliance. :)

Nothing but I need to get5-8 videos

Wow! Well put together dvd. Clear instruction. Excellent product which is a valuable addition to my martial arts reference library.

Really Great Thank You
