What style is this?

The longfist system has Chin Na too. Longfist GM Han Chin-Tang was a Chin Na master. After you have compare Chin Na between longfist and eagle claw, you will see that eagle claw has much more detail.

Here is an example. The small circle wrist lock exists in almose all TCMA system. Most systems use downward pushing force. If your opponent raise his elbow to cancel out your downward force, an eagle claw guy will change it into a horizontal force. If your opponent turns his body to cancel out your horizontal force, a eagle claw guy will change it into a pulling force. In "eagle claw", it's called "三把腕子(San Ba Wan Zi)". I just don't see this level of detail in other TCMA systems.

I'm a longfist guy. I should try to defend the longfist system from the eagle claw system. But truth is truth. The longfist is good for foundation and eagle claw is good in Chin Na. Both styles serve different purposes.

My teacher used combination of 3 forces - spiral, bending, and straight line all at the same time. This can be extrapolated to other chin na for quick non-gappy lockup and breaking.

A lot of people use just one or maybe two of the forces, and it is easy for the other person to escape.

counters to the locks and then counters to the counters. etc etc

If people don't train counters and counters to counters, they are not truly training TCMA.
