Yeah, yeah. They are taking small adjustment steps in between, which is one valid way of doing tuishou. It's a limited form of moving step. The guy in black moves his feet a lot when he lets himself get pushed/uprooted by the other guy, which is logical. At the exact moments when the guy in black issues force to push/uproot the other guy, his feet are stable on the ground. Both, or at least the rooting foot, which is all you need. I don't see him throwing his weight forwards or backwards to try and achieve an effect, I don't see him losing his balance when he pushes the other guy. Instead, I see his body weight going straight down into the ground in a stable connection. That's all that matters; small adjustment steps in between are irrelevant, just a matter of taste.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.
