joint lock,chin na, qin na,sifu tw smith,raleigh Joint Locks are a critical part of Martial Arts Training, there are specific circumstances that make Joint Pressure and Joint Locking very effective and in some cases the only legal alternative for gaining advantage.

Qin Na has subdivisions, Joint Locking is the primary one we will apply skills practice too.

When is the Skill of Joint Locking Necessary?

If you are a teacher, body guard, military, law enforcement and in some sports, Chin Na is an essential part of your training. In Progressive Use of Martial Arts Skill and Force : TKF 51 , I share with you real-life stories of people that could have used the skill and didn't have it. Some who had the joint locking skills and didn't use it. All of which had consequences.

Military and Law Enforcement use various locks to immobilize and to subdue someone. Teachers and hospital orderlies have to use joint locks to subdue someone who has become violent or lost emotional control.


What will we cover during this workshop?

During this particular Basics Workshop I will be taking you thru some joint-locking techniques. I will also share some of my 'non-technique' training, which basically encourages an intuitive understanding.

We will cover a variety of locks across various joints, and point out where you will see the same joint manipulation across styles.

The techniques will be put in context, for example

A Situation that you intend to warn them to keep their hands to themselves, from adults to kids.

An adolescent has gotten emotional and needs a moment of pause to calm down.

You need to get this person subdued, now.


Do You Wonder if this is for you?

I have had recently to teach several skills joint escapes and locks to deal with school situations. Women who want the confidence that they can get someone's hands off them.

You have learned many techniques and forms of martial arts and want to find where some of the joint locks are in your style.
