I've used and taught these wrist turns as release moves for quite a number of years now. I'll have to try them as a technique to put my opponent down as demonstrated in this video. I'm not sure my Shotokan students will go down, but if they do, it will be an interesting addition to our curriculum. Thanks!
ive been playing with some of this. The arm coils are literally in the walking kata. The shodokan curriculum does the 7hon kuzushi. and the 2nd and 3rd hand motions are the first two motions of Yon kata, and are taught in a moving backward mode( and could be added to this exercise. the 4th and 5th (pet the dragon/deliver the pizza) are performed in a static mode and correspond to the 1st and 3rd release. but when done with the sliding forward step are very similar to their atemi waza tsukuri drills. the second and forth release are the hip switch motion in the walking and are done with the impression that your arm is being pushed down and into your center line( or when you slide back/forward depending on the footwork). pretty cool stuff Nick. will work on this kind of thing.
the arm coil around the five minute mark that Greg is doing is close to the Yon kata movements(1-2) in the Shodokan interpretation. on crosshand do a tegatana movement moving back (2nd hand movement in the walking counter clockwise) curl it back clockwise( 3rd hand movement) placing it on the inside of the wrist and keep moving back and its the first movement in 7hon kuzushi. If he travels forward it would be interpreted as a Tsukuri for an atemi waza( maybe like an aigamae ate, iriminage) because it causes a spine lock. Anything that puts a spine lock on you is interpreted as a Tsukuri movement in the Shodokan. ( at least from what I gather)
