CLOSE-BODY FIGHTING AND RAPID PUNCHES
“Close-Body Tiger Claws” is an effective chin-na technique for close-body fighting. It is important that you cover your opponent effectively when applying this technique. Of course, there are many counters too.
Many martial artists find it difficult to defend against a series of fast punches. Applying chin-na is an excellent counter. “Lohan Embraces Buddha” and "Double Breaking Wrists" were also shown.
