practicing Chin na without a partner

[Hunt]

Any suggestions about how to go about this... I am doing air grabbing, plus coiling practice with a staff. I was thinking about bulding a mook yan joang(wooden dummy) out of pvc to practice on. any suggestions or insights would be helpful.

thanks

Practicing Chin Na without a partner = practicing eating without food .... you're left empty.

You can train the quality of your movements and increase your power alone, but to feel the flow of locks you need a friend.

i agree.

its hard to practice seizing joints, with out a joint to seize.

Yeah, I would say work on finger strength and dexterity, but you cannot even begin to train Chin Na without someone else. Hell, it is hard enough to do properly with someone right in front of you!
