Welcome!

YMAA Publication Center was established so that Westerners could access the profound Oriental developments in Qi, Martial Arts, and Spiritual

Cultivation. As one of the pioneers in this exchange, YMAA will continue to mark the path between East and West. It is our hope that this path will lead to a new, benevolent society.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

YMAA Publication Center turns 30!

YMAAs publishing program

began thirty years ago, a time

when publishing demanded highly

refined decision-making processes.

There were no convenient online solutions for designing, editing, or

printing a book. Video production was film based, labor intensive, and

cumbersome. Those conditions required a careful selection of content

and strict production processes. There was little chance of a do over.

This traditional background has nourished the core of our company; it

helped to refine our quality and allows us to use many of todays newer

technologies on a solid platform of established publishing processes.

Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming created the foundation for our reputation of

publishing in-depth books and videos on martial arts and qigong.

Today we are fortunate to be the

publisher of choice for many of

the outstanding martial art and

eastern healing advocates of

our time.

We look forward to another

30 years of the honor of

working with them and being

the instrument to share

their knowledge.

Joint lockslearn to improvise Joint locks under pressureBy Rory Miller

Joint locks are widely regarded as one of the most versatile physical toolsthey can move, immobilize, submit, or severely injure a threat. They are also justifiably regarded as one of the more difficult martial art skills to implement in real life.

Inthisvideo,RoryMillermakesthecasethattheproblemisnotwiththelocks themselves, but with our teaching methods. His principles-based ap-proach allows relatively new beginners to improvise joint locks with only one hour of training, something that many traditional approaches have failed to do with hundreds of training hours.

Joint locksarenotprimary self-defense techniques. If youare inaposi-tion that requires self-defense, you are justified in and likely need a higher level of force. However, if your job requires controlling violent people with minimal injury, you must be good at joint locks and you must be able to improvise them under pressure.
