“Having spent years studying these locks, I found it awkward to pull some of them off in 'live' situations. A great many of them if attempted, would have landed the practitioner in a world of hurt from their opponent. Simply from the person reacting by punching them with their free hand/arm. This article attempts to clarify some of the misunderstanding of how and why Qín Ná does, or does not work.” - Excerpt from an article published in the Journal of 7 Star Mantis Volume 3, Issue 3 on the Chinese Joint Locking method known as Chin Na, or Qín Ná (Capture and Seize 擒拿).
