Whew! I don't think that can be improved on at all. Very nice to watch as well. Well executed everything. Apparently you have been doing this one for a long time.
SUN! I did have prior knowledge and practice on this form, but again, I haven't had anyone to teach it to yet so I kinda forgot about it. It's an interesting form for me. Do have any ideas what the ready stance means, or is for?
Mmmm no. Except maybe with that open left hand, the position of it and the 45 degree angle of the body it is a perfect beginning for the forthcoming sweep. I can't think of any other ready stance we have that would be so well positioned for this move. And, if I may suggest, lift your whole body up through the sweep. In other words, your body will follow your sweeping hand up as it reaches it's apex at 15 seconds. Your legs will be very nearly straight, but still apart. This will accomplish two things that I can see. First, it will take that momentum and height to lift someone off their feet which is what you are trying to accomplish (imagine their right foot forward), and 2nd, the maximum height will allow you to come crashing down with all of your body weight through your knee and stiff arm close to your body. This will certainly break ribs, crush the windpipe, rupture the testicles and spleen or any number of internal injuries. Of course the biggest weapon here is your knee, the fist is secondary. The first injury however will probably be when you flip them upside down with the sweep and their head suddenly meets planet earth. A second application would be if someone were standing to your right, facing you. The sweeping arm would come up between their legs and maximum penetration would be achieved through the rotation of the hips and raising of the body. This will certainly, at the very least, cause them to bend over, hands to the groin, and chin up (classic and inevitable). More likely though, your opponent will drop to his knees and then to the ground vomitting and your follow through will be the same as above. These are just suggestions, of course...

Here all this time I thought we were just trying to look cool! LOL!!
I'm sure your victim, er, I mean the perpetrator would comment on how cool you look---if he could still talk.
