It also looks like Kuzushi waza from Karate.

Not surprising at all since all martial arts are based on the same body mechanics and principles. We all have 2 arms and 2 legs so sooner or later similar techniques are born in different martial arts.

Even that demonstration was done slowly. If it were done at full speed even, the person going down might not even have enough time to react.

2 arms 2 legs..... The only thing that will change martial body mechanics if we grow a tail, another leg/arms....

Train everything to the best of your ability. It'll help in the long run.

Control the arm for a standing arm-bar and it's ude tori in Danzan Ryu.

This and the half sword throw are the same technique, aren't they? Just from different sides.

@MoosePack Not so strange if you think about it. How many times have you just met someone and found you had ideas and experiences. Now throw in the fact that the way that the body moves is the same all over the world.
