Description
Chin Na or Qinna (æ“’æ‹¿, pinyin: qÃn ná, Wade-Giles: ch'in2 na2) (Kum La - in Cantonese) is a Chinese term describing techniques used in the Chinese martial arts that control or lock an opponent's joints or muscles/tendons so he cannot move, thus neutralizing the opponent's fighting ability. Also chin na su, su meaning technique (actually traditional Chinese: è¡“; pinyin: shù). Chin na su literally means technique of catching and locking in Chinese. Some schools simply use the word na to describe the techniques. |
