as a 3rd degree I can say I like the technique although I don't personally agree with the Bill Lasiter style kiai vocal sounds, it does not detract from the very good technique on the video . But as photographer/ videographer, it would be much better not using the portrait mode which is distracting and not the best for any type of video, too much is lost, which is proven when you back up and parts of you disappeared. It is becoming more mainstream these days due to people using their phones and it is slightly more convenient to look at it vertically. That convenience does not warrant giving up the quality of the video. Let those on their phones turn them sideways they will survive and your videos will be much better. I am subscribing and will look forward to more as they come out.
What he's saying about how to drive force through the body is true. Having a solid base and driving the force up starting from the feet and the pivoting, up using not just your arms or upper body, but using the whole body as one unit. Everything else in this video seems to be over analytical, too specific and isn't fool proof, meaning you can't be certain it will always work. You need to adapt to the situation accordingly. You can't be too specific about what you will do after you block a strike. It all depends on the situation and what your opponents doing, which usually can't be predicted. Great video though. Just a thought. No disrespect. :) (I won't see any replies to this comment. I don't read my inbox.)
I would say it is a Jimmy Woo technique, but San Soo was handed down from his elders to Jimmy. Jimmy handed it down to his students. What you do not understand is that every student has his/her own little quirk, but the principles used are what Jimmy handed down. I see those principles in this video. In the words of Mr. T, "I pity the foo" who attempts attacking anyone with the skill shown in this lesson. Confuscious say, judge not lest you be judged grasshopper.
