The one thing I particularly appreciate about the Turkish get ups is how functional they are: I mean what's more basic than getting up off the ground? Practicing it with one hand up in the air precariously balancing a heavy chunk of metal over your head means that getting up with a baby in your arm or while holding anything else will be easy in comparison.
The martial arts / self defence benefits of being able to get up quicky with on hand otherwise occupied are also pretty clear.
