47MartialMan Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 What I freak out on, is not he number of posts. Everyone post a one-liner as a response. But, for someone to come to the forum, and post a link or ad for a promotional campaign as the first post, really had a hidden agenda. And it is not thread/topic discussion.

But, for someone to come to the forum, and post a link or ad for a promotional campaign as the first post, really had a hidden agenda. And it is not thread/topic discussion. You are right Still one liners or any posts at all should be made ONLY when we really have something to say, to help set the truth or give the one that asked the information needed. Anything else could be considerred as spamming the thread, hijacking and other names I have trouble understanding. Hopefullt this forum is quite relaxed, in others all unnecesary posts are deleted This is a forum, not a chat ... About the adverts ... it's simple ... they just disappear (the posts ). It's quite cheeky to come to a new forum and start a promotion campaign without coming to help the discussion with some information. I had the problem in one forum and it's difficult to deal with it. Coming back to the numbers ... I always think the quality is important, not quantity World Shotokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE Posted November 3, 2004 Author Share Posted November 3, 2004 Dear all, with reference to my first post regarding our seminar, i would like to explain as follows ; I am completely new to forums and yes i am learning ! positive advice may have been more useful to me than critism A friend of mine who as looked at several forums stated sometime ago that there is always people requesting info on Chin na especially in the UK, it would seem that they are unaware an Association for this art as been in existance for several years. I have sufficient members within my own groups to fill the seminar, however i thought it would have been interesting for martial artists within the UK to learn of the British Chin na Association and the information they can freely provide, plus giving them a chance to train with one of the best Chin na experts in Europe, i also thought it might generate new questions etc, which i would gladly answer. If i have miss read this situation, as a forum novice i apologise Best wishes to all STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a response to any thread. Then a second or third about the seminar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorin Ryuu Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Chin Na can be roughly translated as "seize and control" and is thus a grappling oriented system. I'm not sure if it is meant to be stand alone or not, but it is most heavily oriented towards controlling and locking the opponent's joints, muscles and tendons. It also has some pressure point manipulations if I am not mistaken. I actually have a book entitled Comprehensive Applications of Shaolin Chin Na that I bought last year. I get a kick out of names for the techniques, like Spiritual Dragon Waves Its Tail, but they are very practical in nature and contain common principles to many fighting styles. What makes it not necessarily unique but very interesting is a specific emphasis on how one manuever causes something else to happen that you capitalize on. For example, putting the arm in one position causes muscle X to bind up in a certain fashion, making it easy to rip with your fingers. This is by no means exclusive at all to Chin Na, but it is merely an example of the things they specifically focus on. There is theory behind all of it, but it is very, very heavy on the practice. A partner is pretty much a must for this. Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
