First, be advised that all of these VCD's are IN CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't read... IN CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible by downloading Quicktime (for free) and any similar VCD player program. Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00? Wow! |

Chin Nah Self Defense Chin
Na is an ancient branch of Kung Fu. Contrary to what many believe
there are actually very few "pure" Chin Nah styles in
China. Most knowledge in the art is considered supplemental to other
forms of striking and throwing. Chin Nah requires some sensitivity
and anatomical knowledge. For many it can be initially frustrating.
Also, though most Chin Nah demonstrated is essentially the same
the level of demonstration and skills vary widely. This is a clear
and practical showing of the art. Chin Nah shows the essential simplicity
of applied martial arts (there are, after all, only so many ways
to bend an arm). In response to all the "new" and "modern"
styles we follow the great answer by Praying Mantis instructor Brendan
Lai when asked if he was a traditional martial artist, he replied,
"Of course unless you've dreamt up a new way to break
an arm that no one has ever seen before." Click on pictures to see larger versions. |
Here instructor Qi just stands there showing one application after another. A whole lot of information without commentary, rapidly and clearly shown. A quick and thorough demonstration of movements against hair grabs, shoulder grabs, wrist grabs, bear hug, throat grabs, fist strikes, leg grabs, lapel grabs, kicks, knife attacks, staff attacks & more... |
This VCD concentrates on shoulder grabs showing many methods divided into major counter offensive actions such as arm coiling. The instruction here is as clear and most Chin Na presentations we've seen. Straight forward, practical and strong applications with strikes and manipulations intermixed. |
Two VCDs show many reactions to "surprise" attack. Some pretty strong actions utilizing throws, arm locks, follow up strikes, sweeps and other direct and straight forward counters. This is a double VCD. |
An entire series of counters to knife attacks. Most are based on classic movements where the knife hand is controlled and from there the movement is to the ground, a disabling armlock or a choke. Movements against knives require much training and experience. The counters shown here are classic of differing efficacy but all well shown.

This disk shows many counters to attacks from front and rear bear hugs. Good, practical stuff. |
Punches are showcased on this VCD with multiple responses including many with arm locks, neck controls and strong throws. Practical and clear. |
Solid and direct responses to chest grabs. Of course many actions are similar to other VCDs in this series which should be taken as proof of the versatility of good movements. In this case some interesting new counters. |

Na Club Attacks Classic chin nah defenses against club attacks, mostly swings. Some interesting pressure points. Most of these are fairly well known but the explanations here are clear, concise and very straight forward and don't suffer from the "set up" that some demonstrations do. |
Some good takedowns and throws against kicks. The second portion of this VCD deals with attack against your legs, that is to say tackles. Everything here is easily understood and applied. |

Na Hair Grabs Many hair grabs front and back countered in this series. A good thing to see since hair attacks have some special considerations like making sure you don't encourage the attacker to tear his hand away. |
