📝 Description: Zhao's Practical Qin Na Part 1: Explanation of the Qin Na Nine Heaven Secret Text

Master Zhao Da Yuan Unveils Qin Na's Hidden Secrets Practical Qin Na Part 1: Explanation of the Qin Na Nine Heaven Secret Text is Part One of Master Zhao Da Yuan's magnum opus on the art of Qin Na (Capturing and Seizing). Although Qin Na techniques are taught in all styles of Chinese Gong Fu, few people know that Qin Na is also a complete system of self-defense and self-cultivation. The art of Qi Na includes: - Developmental Nei Gong and Basic Training - Qin (Capturing) techniques, which separate the tendons and dislocate bones by hooking and locking - Na (Seizing) techniques, in which one seizes and grasps acu-points, meridians, body cavities, and blood vessels - Striking, Seizing and Kicking Vital Points - Counter Qin Na - Throwing Techniques - Defenses against Weapons - Weapons and Forms Practice For centuries, Qin Na was a secret family system, only parts of which were taught to outsiders. After teaching this deadly and effective art to the police, military personnel, and elite bodyguards for more than 40 years, Master Zhao breaks with tradition and openly reveals the real secrets of Qin Na to the general public, including the key theories and foundational training methods that were in the past taught to only one or two disciples in each generation. These secrets are contained in the Nine Heaven Secret Text. The Nine Heaven Text is an extraordinary contribution to the art of Qin Na and the internal Chinese martial arts. In a series of coded poems, the text presents the complete theoretical basis of both Qin Na and the internal martial arts, in minute and precise detail: 1. Heart Poem 2. General Poem 3. Wu Ji Poem 4. Seven Star (Qi Xing) Poem 5. Eight Trigram (Ba Gua) Poem 6. Six Harmony (Liu He) Poem 7. Five Element (Wu Xing) Poem 8. Yin Yang (Liang Yi) Poem 9. Three Powers (San Cai) Poem 10. Four Appearances (Si Xiang)Four Poe 11. Nine Palaces (Jiu Gong) Poem Master Zhao deftly decodes and explains the hidden meanings contained in

This inaugural volume offers a rare glimpse into the Nine Heaven Secret Text, yet its value is strictly limited to dedicated martial artists. It does not suit casual readers or those seeking simple self-defense tips, as it demands a serious commitment to internal cultivation and anatomical precision. The content is dense with traditional theory rather than accessible instruction, making it unsuitable for beginners who lack prior context in Chinese martial disciplines. Only those prepared for the rigorous study of bone dislocation and seizing techniques will appreciate this groundbreaking disclosure.

🎯 Key themes and symbolism

Unveiling Ancient Secrets

For generations, the profound knowledge of Qin Na was confined to a select lineage, its complete methodologies rarely shared. This work signifies a pivotal moment, as Master Zhao deliberately breaks with tradition to openly transmit the comprehensive theory and foundational elements that make Qin Na a complete martial and self-cultivation system.

Foundational Cultivation

Beyond mere combat techniques, the book emphasizes the critical importance of internal development (Nei Gong) and fundamental training. Readers are guided through the core principles that strengthen the body and mind, preparing the practitioner not just for executing "capturing and seizing" moves but for deep personal transformation and mastery.

Holistic Self-Mastery

Qin Na is presented not merely as a collection of fighting methods but as a pathway to comprehensive self-mastery. It integrates physical techniques like joint locks and vital point strikes with internal energy work, offering a unified system for self-defense, health, and spiritual development, fostering balance in mind, body, and spirit.

📜 Historical context

For centuries, Qin Na was a closely guarded family secret, its potent techniques passed down through a select few. While elements permeated various Chinese Gong Fu styles, its complete system, encompassing both physical combat and internal cultivation, remained largely hidden. Master Zhao's decision to openly share this knowledge marks a significant departure from this long-standing tradition, making previously esoteric practices accessible to a wider audience.
