Johnny Wheeler posted this poem to the Yahoo Baord I belong to and I wanted to record it here because I thought it was a good read:
--------------
Hi Everyone,
I thought I would share the Chin-Na poem with the boardmembers,
realizing they may not have seen it.
It's in the true Martial Spirit.
Enjoy. Johnny Wheeler

The changes of Chin-Na are linked as the Ba Gua(Eight Triagrams),
mutually creating and destroying without end.
If you wish to seize, the word "skill" must be first, the art is
skillful, the power is skillful, the method is even more skillful.
First strike, second control, third take what you want, hook, seize,
lock, close, and immobilize the terminus.
Grasp the tendons, seal the veins to reduce his power, locking the
joints even Ghosts and Gods will grieve.
Hard and soft must be balanced and applied where needed,
the power is flexible and follows a spiral path.
Move like lightning when the opponent is unaware, penetrating in
moving and turning to disperse the opponent('s) power.
Follow the opportunity and flow with the changes, cause the situation
to change in accordance with your plan, survey the situation then
proceed to effect your method.
The hands and feet arrive together and the body follows, add the power
of the shoulders and hips to lock above and trip below.
The upper locking and lower tripping come at the same time, use the
waist to trap and entwine, if you do not attack, I force you to, once
you are caught in my technique you will never know what killed you.
