I wouldn't give this a chin na title I would say this goes to the roots of BJJ from the JJ side.
Chin Na is not a style. It's just a general term for "joint locking".Quote:

That was one of the first things I went for the first time I rolled with a BJJ guy.
Yesterday when I threw bag with someone in the park, one BJJ guy came over and said that seem like a good training to develop grip strength. It seems to me that BJJ guys start to pay more attention on "grip strength" now.Quote:

Actually, no. To Chinese speakers, and a lot of kung fu people, it's just any seizing and locking. I know some people may read this differently, based on their introduction to it I would imagine, but it is merely a work for seizing and locking. It doesn't presume a source, it is a descriptor. Also, it's a lot quicker to type than the alternatives.:DQuote:

To get to wrist locking, you have to grab, at least some semblance of it. Previous to that, you have to enter (adroitly) apply some level of feint, grab/redirect, trip, etc and depending on the others' strategy, adapt. Fresh on the ground locking is not a good idea unless the fellow is a legend in his own mind and he drop within 1 min. of the encounter. "Hitting' is good, some level of boxing (a western audience strategy) as you know! jus' sayin:cool:Quote:

Like, shuai jiao was definitely referencing chinese throws, but chin na was viewed as just seizing and locking, it didn't make a huge difference whose.Quote:

Shuai Jiao refers to an art form. "Shuai" is throwing, "Chi na" is lock and control.
One day a Karate guy asked me what did I train, I told him that I trained Kung Fu. He said, "You train Chinese Karate (the empty hands way)".
A lot of Karate schools borrow the term chin na...makes since, since they borrowed the art from China anyway...
