Nice… but I’d make a few suggestions. Pay more attention to lifting the
elbow with the right arm as the left pushes the from the wrist to take the
opponent down. While the technique works fine from such a flat footed
position you can ‘place’ your opponent by either stepping through with the
back foot or rotating the front away from the opponent and using deriving
power from your hips. Also, I’m not fond of the doubled up position
displayed at the end of this demonstration… a low hibodachi (horse
riding) stance with a straight back would wrap it up nicely.

Seems like this move would expose your back against someone who knew how to
grapple. The natural response to the arm being attacked like that is to
turn in anyway, a skilled opponent will jump on your back and either take
you down or choke you standing.

I did that to a guy once in a stair well, didn’t get the tap, but the guy
calmed down after I leaned him over the guard barrier.
