Bunkai: Wanshu, bear hug and wrist release sequence

Bunkai: Wanshu, bear hug and wrist release sequence
This video puts two techniques from Wanshu together in a sequence which we are interpreting here as involving two opponents.
You are faced off with one opponent, ready to engage, when the second opponent comes up from behind you. They put you in a bear hug, pinning your arms, and intending to throw you to the ground.
In Wanshu a technique nicknamed “hidden fist” occurs twice. It is used at this point. It is probably not a hidden fist. In this interpretation we are showing it as a mata chin na. It is done here exactly as shown in the kata. It is used to escape the bear hug, and then immediately engage the opponent in front.
To escape the bear hug you twist your upper body toward the right. That way you open a gap between your waist and the opponent’s waist. This twist of your upper body frees your right arm to reach down to the mata target area.
You apply the seizing technique and then thrust your arm forward. This looks like a punch and uses similar mechanics. You can follow through with this move as a punch to the new opponent who has stepped in to range to attack you.
Note: the reflex arc here is short and fast, so kime is essential.
We should learn to defend against this technique. This technique cannot be safely applied. It should not be attempted in training.
It is shown here for the purpose of kata analysis only.
Wrist Release
You execute the chin na thrust, and follow through as a punch to the opponent in front of you.
The opponent in front of you tries to trap your arm, getting a grip on your arm, and attempting to continue your forward momentum to throw you.
As they pull you forward to begin the throw, you do the wrist release: turning the opponent’s arm over, applying pressure to their wrist to break the hold.
At the same time, you step forward, staying low, pushing the opponent backward and punching to the level of the hara or below. This is exactly the pattern of movement shown in kata Wanshu.
