Tai Chi Joint Locks; Qinna without Pain | Fascia and Song

Using Tai Chi for Painless Joint Locks with Fascia and Song: In Tai Chi, true joint locks should rely on your own state of Song and your fascia connection to the partner rather than mechanical leverage or force and inflicting pain. In this video, Susan Thompson Tai Chi demonstrates Qinna (joint locking) as an internal Tai Chi skill—showing this often misunderstood technique in an elegant and gentle manner, taking down the partner without pain or force. You’ll see how Song and fascia create control without pain, replacing external effort with internal precision. This difference defines the essence of internal Tai Chi power—elegant, gentle, and powerful through structure, not leverage or force.
