Looks as throw all power is generated by movement, but only forced by the legs, the upper body seems absent in the power generation other than coordinated movement. That is my befuddlement, maybe his open and close is so subtle that I cannot detect it do to his height, I'm pretty sure if he were to actually noticeably opening and closing, or showing the spinal wave, I'd be sitting here calling it over exaggerated. Again if you can't touch it you can't know it.
Whats missing is dragon body (look at his back and how it doesnt speak the same language as the limbs). The edges of the movements are square as well, and thats why it seems like he is segmenting every move into smaller parts. Just some feedback on his form, which says nothing on how he applies it, of course.
All this is fine of course, if someone has made a direct relationship between their flavor movement and their application. Whatever method you use, even if its not the standard, you might specialize in it and even be more effective using it than someone else that uses a more traditional method. Whatever works, however it looks, i say. Just dont call it something it is not.
