Qinna is the Chinese art of “seize and control.” It is used to restrain
opponents through techniques for locking joints or muscles and tendons by
applying leverage and using pressure points. The techniques require very little
force making them especially effective against larger and stronger opponents. In
addition, the pressure of many techniques can be adjusted so that they can be
used merely to control an opponent or to injure or disable them when necessary.
The techniques can be used to defend against grabs, holds and chokes or used to
immobilize, subdue, or control assailants. These are important skills for when
you are in close contact with an opponent and are especially useful in law
enforcement and other situations when you need to subdue an assailant without
injuring them.
This workshop is suitable for all martial arts styles and all levels of
experience, including beginners with no previous training. Don’t miss this
opportunity to learn from one of the best!

We had a wonderful workshop with a mix of school owners, instructors, sifus, experienced students and absolute beginners. Master Lin was able to cover the basics for the beginners while still challenging the more advanced students so that everyone left the workshop with valuable knowledge and new techniques to use.
Many of the techniques presented were from Master Lin's books and DVDs, which were in high demand after the workshop. They provide a great way to review and practice techniques from the workshop as well as learn new ones. See our pro-shop if you are interested in purchasing some of these items.
