A TECHNIQUE TO COUNTER ANY CHIN-NA OR GRIPPING ATTACKS

Shaolin Tantui

Using Legs to Intercept Kicks



Chin-na, which is a special way of gripping, is a very sophisticated method of attack. As many martial arts do not have chin-na in their repertoire, if you can successful apply chin-na on their exponents, they would have no techniques to counter you.

Amazingly, there is one technique in Tantui which can be used to counter any chin-na or gripping attacks. This technique is called "Breaking Lock" and is implemented in Combat Sequence 9 in the pattern "Second Brother Breaks Lock".
