    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".

    I'm surprised to hear that the wrist lock wasn't popular previously.

    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.

    didn't say style. When inferred to "chin na" automatically its Chinese. I said for this guy it probably comes from his JJ roots in BJJ.

    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
