HOW TO SUBDUE YOUR OPPONENT WITH CHIN-NA EVEN WHEN HE KNOWS THE COUNTER

Immortal Carries Sticks: a chin-na technique which you can apply to dislocate an opponent's elbow and throw him over your shoulder


If a chin-na master wants to apply a certain chin-na technique on you, he can do so even when you know what is coming and also know the counters. It is not just the techniques that make the chin-na application successful, but also a harmonious application of skills, tactics and strategies.

A chin-na master plans his attacks in such a way that subduing you with his intended chin-na technique or techniques is a certainty. If he fails to subdue you on his first attempt, he will subdue you on his second as you try to avoid or counter his first attack. If he is still unsuccessful in his second attempt, he will be successful in his third — unless, of course, you know his tricks and are skillful enough to counter him.

The chin-na technique, “Immortal Carries Sticks”, was demonstrated in this video series. The master could dislocate an opponent's elbow and throw him over the shoulder or waist. Notice that this chin-na technique is different from a typical Judo shoulder or waist throw. In a typical Judo throw, the opponent may strike with his free hand, but in the chin-na technique, he is prevented from doing so.
