What is Grandmaster Wong doing? Holding a Lute on Single Leg?

The chin-na techniques shown here, “Single-Legged Carry Lute” and “Kwan Pheng Carries Insignia”, are more sophisticated. The uninitiated may not know they are chin-na techniques, mistakenly thinking they are merely decorative.

Can we apply such sophisticated techniques on our opponents in real combat? Of course, we can, if we know how. Tactics are used to help us in applying the chin-na techniques, and the examples given here were “tempt the opponent to attack in futility”, and “follow his momentum”.

At the course, instead of telling the practitioners the counters to these sophisticated chin-na attacks, course participants were asked to work out the counters themselves, which they did excellently. Some examples were shown here by Andre, Ronny and Adam.

There are three points of time-frame when we can counter, namely the initial, the mid-point and the ending. Can you tell at what point of time the counters shown in the videos were made against “Single-Legged Carry Lute” and “Kwan Pheng Carries Insignia”?
