Some premises before we start:
- The Chin Na are not a substitute for other fighting techniques (knees, etc.) but rather a complement (kicks and punches are simpler to apply and simplicity is a winning card in a fight)
- Against a skilled opponent, Chin Na is difficult to apply (he probably knows, counterattacks, liberations, etc.), if we do not have spatial intelligence, conditioned limbs, instant adaptation capability, speed, deception ability (etc.) their use can be deleterious
- Not all...

A good conditioning for flexibility requires long times, constancy, commitment and remarkable patience, for this reason, many aspiring practitioners tend to underestimate (if not even avoid) these kinds of activity.
As we have already said, a flexible body offers however crucial advantages in terms of combat aptitude:
- Increased resistance to joint levers (arms, etc.)
- Greater elasticity and therefore resistance to direct and indirect damage (falls, etc.)
- Greater power and speed (the...

Reconnecting to the article "Earth movements: the sand whirls exercise" (and all the others related with the sandbox training) we would like to point out some useful details to optimize the quality and safety of the practice:
The raw material:
- The ideal type of sand is that of construction (better the refined one, costs a little more)
- We can also use rice as an alternative
- The amount of ideal sand to buy for a 40x40x40cm vase is 50Kg (about 10-15Kg of surplus)
- Let's do not throw...

The conditioning tests that we are going to expose are always and in any case related to specific goals (combat, breaks, etc.). There should never be a limit to the mastery of a given skill.
Before we start it is important to say that:
- The purpose of this discussion is not to explain how to create conditioning (we will see it later)
- Our current focus is to understand how to have an effective check to the goals that we are getting
- These tests are dangerous if done without graduality...

In many kung fu styles (and not only) there are particular types of interaction with the body of the adversary named Chin Na, these are fighting techniques (with significant differences between schools / styles / masters) aimed at:
- Control / immobilize / force the opponent to surrender
- Paralize / hurt / break one or more opponent's bodily elements
- In the extreme of cases to take the life of the adversary
The word "Chin Na" or "Qinna" literally means "grasping and holding" and it en...

An example of a novice daily session of 6DKF (1 hour, individual, without specific tools / exercises):
- 5 minutes of heating (free soft kicks and at the same time self-infliction of shots with arms, medium-low intensity)

- 5 minutes of free long jumping in all directions (rapid change)
- 5 minutes of fabric cloth training (arms only)
- 5 minutes of fabric cloth training (legs only)

As we have mentioned, there are many types of bodily conditioning (for hands, abdominal, legs, etc.) and to each of them corresponds more and more effectiveness tests:
- Breaking (eg. of bricks)
- Flexion (eg. splitting)
- Resistance (eg. stick strokes)
- Spatial intelligence (eg. handling two flying objects simultaneously)
- Balance (eg. running fight movements with a bowl of water in our hand)
- Accuracy (eg. dynamically targeting very small targets only with one finger)
- ...

After acquiring a good ability rotating circularly our rope on the cube faces (see "Stance and basic rotations of the rope"), we can quickly switch to the most important and effective "8" rotations (describing in the air the symbol of the infinite).
These evolutions are a key component of fighting with the rope (and of many other flexible weapons), if we fail to handle these movements perfectly, we will be totally unable to advance in our martial growth (in particular, in the absence of soli...

While in a sports combat we have more and more occasions of collecting a large amount of information about our opponents, on the street, time is a luxury that we can not afford.
For the sake of intellectual honesty, the first thing to admit is that there is no reliable way to recognize at 100% (in a handful of seconds) the danger level of an opponent (experience, technical preparation, athletic abilities, attitude to struggle, determination, speed, etc.).
There is an endless number of va...
