new skill – Markelov plus half twist

Blythe posted this on Gymblog.

Markelov full — the first I’ve ever seen — is getting panned because it’s done with very poor form. Nonetheless, it’s a very original, very neat trick.

Seems every release move can be caught in a different grip to add a half twist.

The obvious connection from this one would be Jaeger.
