David,

Can you ellaborate about Hiroo's "undulation"?
I don't know enough about Hiroo Sensei's method to talk about it, really. I have seen clips and I've met him a couple of times, trained with him over one weekend and took ukemi for him, but he displays the wave movement in punches and kicks, cutting with the sword, judo throws, aikido throws and, apparently all his methods. He has made it his central focus and is able to generate all his efforts through a wave that passes through his body from the ground up.

I will let Hiroo Sensei speak for himself (in French...)

But watching this, you can get the general idea of the concept:
