Doc,
Perhaps you could explain how you do this technique. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts seeing that you focus alot on structural alignment, etc.
For me, I've done this technique with both the pin and without the pin, and have had good results. Perhaps 'positional' was not the proper word to use, but when I'm doing it without the pin, I have the other hand up, in the event something else is thrown, such as a left punch.

Well sir, I would love to but there is a problem. This technique is a "hands on" manipulation technique. Writing the physical postures and mechanisms is very difficult, and reading and understanding it is even more difficult. In our Courebook Material specific language is used along with references to mechanisms taught in class. This is also why information intensive material cannot be conveyed through video in distance learning situations.
Simply: First the assault is a flank attack where your right wrist is seized by the attackers right hand forcibly. Your response would be to utilize specific mechanisms of BAM's*, PAM's*, and Indexes, to make yourself immoveable whether pushed or pulled while you quickly identify and access the level of danger.
Than you would pin (Negative BAM) the hand while changing the shape of the metacarpals in his hand, and destroy his bodily structure. Moving to an Index Postion with the hand pinned, thumb leveraged, transition to a 'vertical outward block position' misaligning his arm completly rotating the radial bone. At this point he is at your mercy, neither able to push, or even pull to get away, and is completely vulnerable to a wrist lock takedown if you desire.
All of the above is part of the Default Technique portion known as 'SIA*.' From here we can begin Initial Retaliation. Our Default attacks and traumatizes the set up arm, and misaligns both shoulders. This is followed by a takedown into a Three Point Stance while the fourth point is controlled for a finishing kick.
This is the actual technique that the motion technique is derived from. But as you can read, there are many mechanisms missing from manuals that are only suggested by the material, but never explored or taught. At a higher level the technique is essentially the same but the Indexes are much smaller, and the effects are greatly magnified, along with multiple options.
Last: For those that don't believe there is a pin, they should examine motions Short Form 3 that contains a variation of this technique. Here's a clue. 'No pin, no technique.'
*SIA - Survive The Initial Assault
*BAM - Body ALignment Mechanism
*PAM - Platorm ALigning Mechanism
*Index - Specific physical postures the body must transition through to maximize structure strength, and to ultimately obtain internal energy. Done long enough, the external virtually disappears and the movements are truly 'internalized.'
