    This Tai Chi master continues to talk about the technique he is teaching while his poor student taps away on the floor, his body or with his feet without being released. I couldn't help laughing at the poor guy. Fingers must have been in bits.

    Personally i always attack someone by standing in front of them with my fingers held like that.

    My haul to date with this technique is 2 wallets, 3 mobiles and a pair of Oakley sunglasses. :D

    In all fairness that was pretty funny, you could see your man was not enjoying the experience.

    Don't think so.

    That's my master, Dr. Yang. That clip is from one of his Chin Na DVD's.

    I've only watched the start of the clip as I've seen it many times I've also been on the end of that technique. The 1st technique is called 'White Crane nods it's head' and yes it is as painful as it looks. But with control it won't cause any lasting damage or injury (unless you jerk the joint or deliberately go to far with the bending of the joints!), just temporary pain!

    It is the very first technique of his Chin Na Syllabus, It is only 1 variation of that Chin Na and 1 technque of around 130 that he teaches. Not something that'll work against a descent trained fighter (unless you can set them up for it!).

    Although I've used it many times in my previous security jobs taking Master Yang's instruction "If you have the oppurtunity to grab someones fingers, you should do so!

    Have you ever had someone push your chest, point at you or attempt to grab you? Those are the times to try the finger techniques! You should also note how many strikes they set up.

    Goodluck

    The master did a release from a wrist grab in one of those vids where he brought his hand up as the grip released exposing the 'attackers' finger and then grabbing it. Nice technique and it was a good way of exposing a very weak part of the body. Wouldnt like my finger grabbed like that:eek:

    They remind me a lot of the finger locks we do with Prof Clark.

    It's always nice to see another view on the execution of the subject ;)

    Yes, and very effective too.

    I've used the handshake thumblock to great effect many, many times. Learn it and you'll never shake hands on a door without initiating it again!.

    you'd be suprised how much extra pain can be loaded on by bending the finger the right way.

    and martial artists over look such simple things as they train in the larger more popular techniques!
