How many of you learn joint locks and also the counters for them.?

That as well as throws, chokes, and submissions. I never studied trained, or taught a technique of any kind without also seeking ways to counter or defending against them so that I also had that ability as well. Learning the counters for things like that is partly what makes a martial artist more well rounded as well as expands their skill and knowledge about those things and understanding them better is what I have found.

I do for certain. It seems some schools neglect to teach the counters and escapes.

There is a reason I said escapes. They are not the same and require a different set to learn in addition to counters.

I do. It is a contingent aspect of chin-na and Chinese martial arts as a whole. I wish I could attend your seminar, but I have familial obligations.

It's a regular part of BJJ and submission wrestling.

been taught a few. Pugpaws I will not be able to attend the seminar this summer. Is there any chance that you would give a private lesson.

Thanks

You mean Jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling

Right here!
