Chin Na Fa

Meer over het boek

Focusing on ancient combat techniques, this seminal work from 1936 serves as a training manual originally intended for the Police Academy of Zhejiang province. Written by pioneers Liu Jinsheng and Zhao Jiang, it offers authentic historical documentation of martial arts practices relevant during a time of war and occupation. The translation by Tim Cartmell highlights submission grappling, including locks and chokes, and provides a comprehensive explanation of Chi Na Fa, the foundation for many modern grappling techniques used in competition and self-defense.
