Grandmaster Wong applies the pattern "Golden Boy Worships Buddha" on Dr Damian

The numerous different points of time when counters against chin-na techniques (or any techniques) are implemented may be classified into three broad categories, namely initial point, mid-point and end-point.

In each of the two chin-na combat sequences, namely “Golden Boy Worships Buddha” and “Golden Cockerel Locks Throat”, the same chin-na technique is applied three times, and the responder counters it at the initial-point, the mid-point and the end-point.

For example, in the first attack of “Golden Boy Worships Buddha”, the counter “Jade Girl Kicks Shuttle” is implemented at end-point when the chin-na grip has been established. In the second attack, the counter “Crow Flaps Wings” is executed at mind-point, when the chin-na attack is still in process. In the third attack, the counter “Cannon Punch Towards Sky” is implemented at end-point, when the attack is just started.

However, to enable participants see the complete process of the chin-na attack, the counters at initial-point and mid-point are purposely delayed. In the final video clip, for example, the responder could execute his counter to “Golden Cockerel Locks Throat” with a pattern like “Naughty Monkey Kicks Tree” as soon as the attacker moves in to fell the responder, but he allows the attack to continue so that others can see the whole process of the chin-na attack.
