Qinna

The Chin Na or qinna is a whole of techniques of combat of Chinese martial arts ( Wushu ) which are used for seizing and controlling an adversary. The word chin is referred to seize or aggriper and the term Na means to control. With strike and the techniques aiming to project or bring an adversary on the ground ( shuai ), it constitutes the techniques of combat with naked hands of Chinese martial arts. The chin Na is probably as old as the techniques of fight. According to certain archaeological documents, the fight would have preceded the techniques by Boxe S. It undoubtedly has a Chinese origin, but it was perhaps influenced by Indian martial arts at the time of the contact with Buddhism, because there also exists in India of the systems of combat based on articular controls. The chin Na undoubtedly also influenced the Ju-jitsu Japanese. However, the chin Na was undoubtedly polished as knowledge of the anatomy and the Acupuncture was specified. Indeed this system of combat makes a broad place with a thorough knowledge of the human anatomy. The chin Na, however, does not constitute an martial art in itself. Quasi all Chinese martial arts teach has unquestionable various degrees technical chin Na. However, certain schools use more than others this approach of the combat. The chin Na comprises a very thorough theory which makes of it a system highly effective and adaptable to many martial arts. It is often divided into five categories:

  1. Action on the muscles/tendons: Fen Gin

  2. Action on the os/articulations: Tsuoh Guu
  3. Action on breathing: Bih Chi
  4. Action on blood circulation: Duann Mie
  5. Action on energy circulation: Dim Mak

However, it is rare that a technique of chin Na has one effect. Thus a technique to tear the tendons can also dislocate an articulation.

The chin Na is not only one whole of key of arm. It includes/understands controls with the fingers, the wrists, the elbows, the shoulders, the neck, the size, the knees, the feet (the lower extremities include/understand less techniques), attacks at the vital points, but also of the throttlings, techniques of boxing, projections and care.
