VHS Movie Reviews of Analysis of Shaolin Chin-na [VHS]

Movie Review: The foundation for all further grappling study
Summary: 5 Stars

Thank you to Master Yang for cataloging these ancient techniques that have nearly been lost, even in China, and which are the root of the more modern arts of aikido, and more recently, hapkido.

From here, move onto the Comprehensive Applications of Shaolin Chin Na 1 and 2 videos. With demonstrations of nearly 200 applications on each video of Chin Na against all kinds of attacks, as well as some offensive Chin Na, this is a encyclopedic reference you will refer back to during your training.

For deeper, personal instruction, you can delve into the Chin Na In Depth 12 Volume video series, in which Master Yang instructs over 100 Chin Na techniques. In this series, which was filmed more recently, you can see that his ability to teach has developed greatly during his worldwide seminar tours, and his English instruction is flawless. He shows each technique multiple times, and with several variations, and often allows students to demonstrate, in order to show corrections and fine tuning for common mistakes.

Through all of this vast training, it is vital to refer back to 'The Analysis of Shaolin Chin Na' video, which gives an excellent overview of the art of Chin Na, and instructs the essential fundamental training that is the key to effective and quick Chin Na.

Much respect for Dr. Yang for this exhaustive research and teaching!

Movie Review: Useless
Summary: 1 Stars

My opinion of this VHS and his "In Depth DVD's"...
1. Maybe 75 realistic techniques.
2. You're stuck watching 2 students fumble around in 5-12 and then watch the instructor correct them, even sometimes contradicting HIMSELF...
3. Compared to 1-4, somehow this material (5-8 & 9-12) seems it was filmed several YEARS prior to 1-4. 1-4 was pretty good, but did they lose the original footage? The students look haggard in faded uniforms in these, yet in 1-4 they're all wearing brand new uniforms, all clean cut, from different parts of the world, Italy, Ireland ect. and Dr. Yang's english is much better. Also 1-4 shows straight techniques versus wasting time watching students fumble around ect.
