what is the meaning of zu dori?

Zu (head) Dori is a what I call "Oldschool" technique. Over the years, I've seen a number of variations. 

They all come down to one thing: Neck Manipulation. Whatever the variation, the movement of the neck is taken to the extreme.

In order to prevent your opponent from turning left AND right, you have to position your hand and elbow in exactly the right place.
