The idea of using "training aids" is a good one.
However, pushing the pelvis forward while the shoulders go back - the lower back arches pulling the shoulders backwards - probably isn't the action one wants to reinforce. It looks good when someone pushes on your abdomen, but probably wouldn't look so good if one responded the same way against a push to the chest or shoulders. Arching the lower back that way, while thrusting the pelvis forward appears to break the body into two at the lower back. A forward strike with the shin, knee, hip or abdomen can be accomplished without segmenting upper and lower parts of the body, but it is a different mechanism than what is shown in the video.
