Torite and Chin Na

Torite is the art of seizing limbs and locking joints.
It also covers kyusho - Pressure Points.

In Chinese this system is called Chin Na.

Although it is a subset of Jujutsu, Karate, Kung Fu, Kali, etc, it is also a complete MA system in it's own right if developed to a high enough level.

In class, you may hear me refer to Chin Na or Torite in context, or that we are having a "Chin Na" session.
