BECAUSE OF IT'S PURE FOCUS ON COMBAT AND SELF DEFENSE CHIN NA IS STILL THE KING OF GRAPPLING. According to the Jiu-Jitsu Great Grandmaster Jigoro Kano there would be no Jiu-Jitsu if it were not for the Shaolin Monk Chen Yuan-Bin who brought the art of Chin Na to Japan which became known as Jiu-Jitsu. https://youtu.be/jsZ5CvCMcK8

Chinese ground fighting and grappling has existed for centuries although it is not widely practiced or known about. Grand Master Schauer continues this tradition to this day and has perhaps the most comprehensive Chin Na program available. www.shaolinwudang.org (415) 564-9282

JIGORO KANO CREDITS SHAOLIN MONK CHEN YUAN-BIN FOR BRINGING TO JAPAN THE CHIN NA TECHNIQUES THAT WOULD BECOME JU-JITSU. At the beginning of the time period Tokugawa (1600-1867), Hichiromen Fukuno created a new technique named YawaraRyoshinto which comprised what nowadays could be regarded as the principles of Ju (the principle of climbing down or nonresistence).... Around the same time period, Jushin Seiguchi founded a school which insisted a lot on Ukemi art(specific falling). These tho schools sytematised the content of their techniques, creating the adequate frame for Ju-Jitsu as an independent unarmed fight form. Also, at the same time (around 1600) it is supposed to having arrived in Japan the Chin-Gen-Pin or Chen-Yuan-Bin priest, who would have brought and taught a series of procedures based on roll-outs and volts, drifts and crafty movements of throwing down on the ground, articulated techniques as well as hit techniques. Regarding the Chen-Yuan-Bin or Chen-Yoan-Pin phenomenon, he was one of the numerous warrior Shaolin monks came to Japan, initially as master in ceramics for Daimyo-ul ( the great noble) feud Owari. As he trained ronini (samurai without master) in the fight without weapons, residing in blows in the vital points and articular techniques, he was noticed by the instructor of the clan of samurai from Owari and taught them what later would be known as JU-JITSU. Master Jigoro Kano (the father of JUDO) has accredited him with it. In the modern age, the old Ju-Jitsu keeps on surviving both through the disciplines adapted by the modern masters to the requirements of the modern life, Judo respectively created by proffesor Jigoro Kano and Aikido, created O Sensei Morihei Ueshiba, but also through a series of schools in the field which managed to resist despite the time. In this way we cand mention: TakedaRyu, Wa-Jutsu, Ju-Tai-Jutsu (within Ninjutsu Bujinkan), Goshinjutsu (Ju-jitsu for defence), Kendo (the way of the sword) etc. See more

Chin Na A Chinese battlefield grappling art similar to jujitsu originated during the Ming dynasty about 380 years ago. Known as Chin Na, it is uncommon in the West but elements from it have found their way into practically every style of Kung-fu. Twisting locks, holds, counter-holds and escapes are included. Locks and holds target the wrist, throat, elbow, and nerve points.... Rooted in ancient Chinese wrestling and pressure-point fighting, Chin Na (capture/hold) evolved in the early 1600's as a police technique for capturing and restraining criminals without killing them. Chin Na eventually became part of the basic training program for the Chinese police and also the Chinese military. Short-range kicking, punching and striking techniques are also included in Chin Na, probably adapted directly from Kung-fu. Chin Na, however, has no forms. In application it functions on a principle of measured response, making the opponent suffer proportionately to whatever resistance or violence he attempts to employ. An assailant will end up on the receiving end of whatever he initiates. Detailed anatomical studies substitute for forms practice, so that the Chin Na fighter will know all of the weak points of the human body. In modern times the Grandmaster most responsible for the popular emergence of Chin Na was Tung Tsung Nee, born in 1880 in Wu Pei Province. Grandmaster Tung, a Taoist, made a living providing security for caravans around the turn of the century, joined the military in 1912, and was promoted to commanding Officer for Martial Arts Training Headquarters for the entire Chinese Army in 1919. In 1924 he became Commander General of the Chinese National Guard, and in 1927 was put in charge of martial arts training at the Chinese Military Academy. He retired from the military in 1934 to become Chairman of the National Martial Arts Association in Shanghai, which position he held until his death in 1971, at the age of 91. See more
