No,
Whip, that wording goes all the way back to the first edition (1969). What
is different in the 7th is that the final two sentences of the 6th were cut -- one going all the way back to the first edition -- and replaced with the following truncation:
"Delayed Hip Action is the only Variation that assures 'Clearing of the Right Hip' in both directions (2-N-0). So Hip
Action is delayed until Start Down."
Note that
Homer Kelley has underlined the word 'Action'. In TGM,
Motion and
Action are different animals. Just because something moves doesn't mean it is
causing anything to happen. Action, on the other hand, means that work is actually being done. And what Homer is telling us here is that, in the
Delayed Hip Turn, the Action (work) of the Hip Turn doesn't begin until Start Down (when it Pulls the Shoulders down). In
Standard Action, the Hip Turn's work begins in Start Up (when it Pulls the Shoulders back).
This is why the Hip
Turn (Component #14) and Hip
Action (Component #15) are differentiated. It is not enough to simply classify the
movement. You must also classify the
work.
