 A must March 11, 2007

Yang Jwing-Ming is definitely amongst the leading authors and indeed authorities on the subject of martial arts in the west. With this particular volume he has made one of the best guides to the subject of qin na. The pictures are all good and the explanations very clear. There is an abundance of techniques covered. Well enough to satisfy even the most demanding of students. The sheer scope of techniques makes this book a perfect reference guide for students and teachers alike.
I agree with another reviewer who suggested that a background in grapling/locking arts will be beneficial in learning from this book.
Together with "Analysis of Shaolin Chin Na" also by Yang Jwing Ming and "Practical Chin Na" by Zhao Da Yuan "Comprehensive Applications of Shaolin Chin Na" is all you'll ever need in the form of books on qin na.
Highly recommendable
Amazing Book January 10, 2006

This is an amazing book. It really has alot of techniques you can
use for "take downs" or some sort disarming or disabling techniques. I Love it, especially since I got the Dr Yangs DVD set on Shaolin Chin Na and useing these together really gives you a better understanding of the art. Just a side note, the DVD quality, production level, direction, its the best martial arts instructional video I have ever seen.
Advanced Knowledge For Grapplers November 16, 2004

US martial artists won't find much of the material in this book elsewhere. Those studying advanced judo, jujitsu or other grappling arts will find techniques that enhance basic techniques already in use. I found the sections on attacking tendons especially well done. No surprise that successful application requires significant strength in the fingers and wrists. Not recommended for beginners.
 not good for every type June 25, 2004

All forms can be applied only by the movement of some types of internal kungfu familiar to auther ONLY. Kungfu studens who practice other kind of kungfu such as external martial arts may see no chance to use them or find them useless. THe book is only good for Tai Chi or Pa kwa. If you practice Shaolin line of kungfu, look for other books.
Very good for practical techniques August 1, 2003

I found this book very practical, especially in comparison to some other books by the author I have read. The techniques are well described, with good foto's, so that one can practice them easyly. I think a background in a locking-art, like mine in aikido, is important for the basic handling of joints, since the locks can be very dangerous. The book gave me very many variations in my aikido and I liked the many fingerlocks, which I was not familiar with.
