Chin na are grabbing techniques that specialize in controlling or locking the opponent's joints, muscles, or tendons. Chin Na principles are the foundation of numerous martial arts styles including Aikido, Jujitsu, judo, and BJJ. These joint locking techniques can be applied to any background and style of training and are an essential addition to any martial arts style.
