Is this the usual striking method of Systema repackaged under a different name, or is it something else entirely?

Systema? Its just a universal concept of geting power from travel on the circular path that is quite common in kung fu type systems.

 

[Gerardo Mendoza S]

Yes, Its the basic Systema striking method.

 

[David Weatherly]

Yes, that's basic Systema striking and yes, it's very effective.
