Jing Ying Institute is pleased to announce a rare opportunity to
learn Qinna from Master Willy Lin. 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. Qinna techniques are
often hidden in the movements of Tai Chi forms and the forms of many
other styles of martial arts.

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!

Willy Lin began studying Kung Fu in Taiwan in 1957. He was the Head
instructor and assistant to Wang, Jyue Jen in Taiwan from 1960 to
1968. He is known as the first person to introduce T'ien Shan P'ai
Kung Fu to the US and is the author of several books on T'ien Shan
P'ai and Chin-Na. His experience includes running schools in Taiwan,
Brazil and the US, and many of his students have gone on to open
their own schools.

Master Lin's books and DVDs will be available for purchase and
autographing at this workshop.
