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, foundational training methods and solo forms that were in the past taught to only one or two disciples in each generation. Many of these training methods were revealed and openly demonstrated in the earlier volumes of this series Qin Na Part 1: Explanation of the Qin Na Nine Heaven Secret Text and Practical Qin Na Part 2: Foundational Training, Techniques and Methods.

In Practical Qin Na Part 3: The Essence of Qin Na Forms & Applications, Master Zhao's disciples demonstrate the solo forms that allow one to thoroughly master the art of Qin Na. His disciples not only demonstrate the forms, they also detail the practical self-defense applications of each movement. With the publication of this third book, martial arts enthusiasts now have access to the full scope of Master Zhao's Practical Qin Na training methods and techniques.
