The arm swing is used in many martial arts because of it's efficiency. Sometimes called differently but the movement is the same. A natural swinging motion of the arm which mimics natural walking and therefore is very difficult to counter. Combined with a movement which is forward one can always reach the ura side of uke which is preferable.

 

Following a few examples from other martial arts then Aikido. Hope the similarities are recognized.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy practice.
