Xie Zhi Kai – The Defending Skills of Acupoint Pointing And Catching (1-3)

Language: Mandarin with English subsThe FIRST of this series of DVDs on the art of Point Striking. The presenter has a bit of a circus barker personality and there is an occasional feeling of a over-sell but his points are accurate and his presentation informative. This first disk shows a few basic points, some exercises for developing your hands, some revival information and a number of basics China Na escapes. The most striking characteristic of this disk in the somewhat vacant look in the eyes of the “dummy”. He’s been hit a few times, believe it.The SECOND of a series of DVDs on the art of Point Striking. This second disk shows more about specific grabs such as bear hugs, shoulder locks, front hugs, rear strangles, hand shake controls, chest grabs and all that. But Xie does stick to his goal and uses movements which rely on and expand the meaning of point striking not just joint reversal.The THIRD of a series of DVD’s on the art of Point Striking. This disk concentrates on responses to strikes. Points emphasized are the carotid artery, lianquan on the neck and jianjiang on the shoulder. Controls are shown against punches, wrist grabs and kicks as well as headlocks. Xie is a bit of a character but his amalgamation of points and basic Chin Na is informative.
