Twisted Willow help please

[JABB]

I have a twisted willow which I wish to reduce in height. We are getting more and more wind here and I wish to reduce its height to approx fence hight.
Does anyone know what to do properly? Can I just cut it right back to say within an inch of the ground on each main upright and will it just sprout back?

The idea of an inch would be to encourage shoots and twists from the ground up, creating more of a bush rather than a trunked bush, if that makes sense?
