yea sorry..
like I said if the techniques - whatever they are - are working for you, then it's not really important in my eyes what you choose to connect them to and how.
In the form, for me, there are clear things that you can do with each limb or the torso, according to how they move and how they take shape.
The better tools for the job (technique highlighted in the OP) are right there within the next posture movement - whatever way round your RM form is. The components parts needed exist in both versions. Changing around which hands pull or push IMO is an acceptable variation - a principle that can apply all through the form with various tools. "No fixed technique".
Why reach for things that aren't really there (and serve a better purpose in rooster as they are), when you don't actually have to.
Rooster transitions from snake creeps down. My forward hand can parry or pull down as my rear hand comes up together with the rear leg. There is no push/strike in a forward trajectory to help the opponent over the sweep in the opposing direction. In the transition to execute the opposite side rooster the hands simply swap places in an up to down trajectory - more or less.
Again I have to use the clip for reference of what we're discussing. If you have some other type of takedown in mind then I need some clip for reference to give an opinion on that as it might or might not relate to rooster.
