SOME EXAMPLES OF CHIN-NA COMBAT SEQUENCES
There are seventy two combat sequences for each one of the Shaolin Seventy Two Chin-Na Techniques. Each combat sequence incorporates three chin-na techniques.
Sometimes in each combat sequence the chin-na exponent uses different techniques to subdue the opponent. Smetimes he uses the same technique three times.
The combat sequences performed here were “Old Eagle Catches Snake”, “Immortal Carries Sticks”, “Nun Carries Umbrella”, “Sitting Double Lifting Hands”, “Double Tigers Subdue Dragon” and “Squatting to Bend Lotus”.
In the video clip showing “Double Tigers Subdue Dragon”, where only one chin-na technique is shown in this video, one might free his leg if it was caught by an opponent.
The combat sequence “Squatting to Bend Lotus” was shown in a few video clips. One might free his wrist from a chin-na grip as well as his leg when it was stepped on by an opponent.
