which should have been the right leg

Sorry left leg

Sorry left leg

Agree! One less step is always better.

It's OK to move 3 steps when you are in your opponent's side door,. It's risky to move 3 steps while you are in your opponent's front door.

I'm not really concerned about whether or not it works.

Here are 2 moves that only take 1 step to take your opponent down. Will it be better to spend your training time to train those moves instead?

This move in Chinese wrestling is called "飄(Piao) - Floating hand". All Chinese wrestlers know it's a beautiful demonstration move. You just don't see that move be used on the mat.

Life is too short to be wasted in some non-effective techniques training. First you have to be able to detect it.

Let me add this clip in just for comparison. You don't have to move under your opponent's arm. You can apply the same throw by staying on the right side of your opponent as well. Even that, it's still a nice "demonstration" technique if your opponent knows how to flip.

This floating hand technique in your clip looks almost identical to what I was taught years ago.

Honestly, I'm not going to be training any of these moves because I'm not working on throws and takedowns right now.

Seriously. That will never work against even mild resistance.

But it's cool looking.

Why do I feel they have just explained Aikido?
