When is the Skill of Joint Locking and Chin Na 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?

Bob Speed has offered to lead this class and is extremely gifted in the area's of joint manipulation across multiple systems of martial arts. 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.

When do you avoid using the Skill of Joint Locking?

Anytime you are outnumbered, you will not have time. In the movies, joint locking looks cool, because of that little variable, called "choreagraphy".. it really helps the good guys come out ahead.

When you are 'tied up" with an enemy, you are vulnerable to his pack. So, understanding context of your situation is critical.
