This is Ulf Karlsson, Shihan, who is my KishimotoDi instructor, and he is demonstrating applications for hotate-gamae (standing sail posture) from Tachimura no Kusanku. While it is visually similar to shuto-uke, the application tends to be a bit different--as you can see in the video--because it doesn't do the same "setup" kosa (crossing) action that most shuto-uke do.
