I don't understand how the opener was awkward in the slightest. it was pgood actually, though the grab slowed it down and ruined the flow a bit, but eh. the hits were nice, but nothing special really. the back kick thing was kinda cool tho. I actually really like how you transitioned into the pose, I don't see many people who are able to pull off a stumbling look very well, takes a lot of focus on the legs. It may not have been on purpose but I still like it. the arms were a little stiff so you might want to work on that. overall on the replay actually, the arms were pretty stiff so I suggest you work on that a bit.
