Re: Extension of energy/Bruce Lee's water theory
Reminds me a lot of irimi nague.
We are instructed not to position arm in the neck line, but to circulate it around uke, much like the way a river goes through a rock (onwards, almost strike, upwards - palm to the sky, cicle down while stepping forward). It's beautiful (and it works).

Re: Extension of energy/Bruce Lee's water theory
The water analogy is pretty old. I've found reference to it in Shinkage-ryu as far back as the mid-1600s. I suspect Bruce got it from Chinese arts going back much further than that.

He invented it and the foxtrot. Originally the foxtrot was part of the five animals form of dance but the other four have been lost in the mysts of time.
