Qinna (or Chin Na) is the Chinese martial art of seizing and controlling an opponent's joints, muscles, ligaments, or tendons, thus neutralizing his ability to fight.
In Qinna with the Knife, Michael Benjamin, a 30-year practitioner of the martial arts, teaches how Chinese Qinna and Filipino knife-craft can be blended into a flowing and extensive full-spectrum approach to force escalation in an edged-weapon encounter.
In Qinna against the Knife, Benjamin demonstrates how both a soldier on the battlefield and a fighter on the street can use Qinna's devastating forms of progressive anatomy destruction to prevail against an assailant armed with an edged weapon.
