This feels very useful for fencing!

Yes, exactly the same principle!

Thank you!

Why is it done this way? Is it because unlocking the joints opens chi gates in TCM? Any physiological reason why this cyclical “melting” would be useful?

Of the 3 questions that you've asked, I'm not sure that I understand the last part of your question...
1. Because you are trying to get your centre/core/dantian/hara etc. to operate the bending of the lets.
2. Yes, opening up the spine at the back does open the Du channel/meridian on the lumbar area of the spine.
3. I don't understand what you mean by cyclical 'melting'... did you mean circular?
You can email me direct at [e-mail] if it's easier.
