Beijing, China, and fourth generation Ba Gua Zhang

Ming, Zhao's teacher and third generation Ba Gua
Zhang lineage holder writes, "By using modern
scientific terms to explain ancient oriental
teachings, Zhao Da Yuan has succeeded in explaining
the mechanics of chin Na in very clear terms. Never
before has there been a work such a this explaining
both the art and its principles." Every major

Effortless Combat Throws by Tim Cartmell Ba Gua, Xing Yi, Tai Chi, and the external martial arts as well, all use throwing techniques because a correctly executed throw can often devastate an opponent much more effectively than strikes, especially if the opponent is bigger and heavier. Emphasizing the principle of non-opposition of force so prevalent in the internal arts, Tim Cartmell expertly explains the principles of combat throwing techniques, including set-ups and follow-throughs, and provides dozens of examples of throwing techniques which, when performed correctly, do not require the use of great power or effort. Drawing from over 25 years of martial arts experience in the arts of Kung Fu San Soo, Ba Gua Zhang, Xing Yi Quan, Tai Ji Quan and Yi Quan, Cartmell explains the concepts of combat throwing techniques in a clear and easily understandable manner. Includes an invaluable chapter on whole-body power generation. Practitioners of any fighting art will benefit from learning the principles of effortless combat throwing techniques presented here with such attention to detail and practicality. DVD Companion: 90 Min. |

The Sixty-Four Qinna Attack Methods of Yin Style Bagua by Xie Peiqi An integral part of all internal martial arts, Qinna, or Chin Na, is the application of force to the opponent's joints to subdue him or severely injure him by breaking the joint. It was used by the bodyguards of ancient China to fight multiple opponents by disabling each quickly and effectively. It is used today by Chinese Police forces to subdue perpetrators with a minimum of physical trauma. The difference between the two uses--devastating trauma to the joint, often beyond repair, and non-injurious controlling takedowns--lies in the type of force exerted while applying the technique. Qinna is often emphasized in the combat training of smaller persons because it is effective for use by them against larger, stronger opponents, whose joints are nearly as susceptible to injury as the average person. In addition, the lateral application of force used by Bagua practitioners can often be used to advantage in the application of Qinna techniques by uprooting the larger, heavier opponent, then subtly changing direction while grasping the limb so as to redirect the opponent's own inertia against the natural motion of the joint. Includes the eight Qinna techniques of each of Yin Style Bagua's eight mother palm systems (Lion, Unicorn, Dragon, Phoenix, Snake, Rooster, Bear, Monkey), for a total of 64 techniques. Each technique shown at regular speed, slow motion, and multiple angles to make learning from the DVD easier. Performed by Xie Peiqi, third generation Yin Fu Bagua lineage holder. |
