8th to 14th June 2008, Sabah
MIND TRAINING AND FORCE DEVELOPMENT ARE MORE IMPORTAN THAN TECHNIQUES
One-Finger Shooting Zen, a treasure of Shaolin Wahnam, demonstrated by Grandmaster Wong
Chin-na is sometimes heard but little understood. It is a special and compassionate way of fighting using holds and grips, and is often confused with locks.
Even amongst its practitioners, one aspect of chin-na that is not usually realized is the importance of mind training and force development over techniques. This does not mean that techniques are not important; they are required to execute chin-na, but without mental focus and relevant force, techniques alone will be inadequate in successful chin-na applications.
The video clips below show the training of mind and force in the Special Chin-Na Course.
You can read first-hand accounts of the Special Chin-Na Course by Zhang Wuji from his posts in the Shaolin Wahnam Discussion Forum by clicking here.
