Walking is too mainstream: Lies! you walk here, or run, only backwards, for a good three steps. The kick looks nice and powerful, but the DMs around the chest area happen too effortlessly. You rip the first arm off instead of striking, which can look good, but only if its natural, which I don't find this. The two other DMs are definitely legitimate, but the punch doesn't look powerful because you connect with the elbow almost completely extended - you can't follow through after the DMs. Nice proof of concept though, well posed, and the scoot to Uke looks natural.
Lunge: This is the kind of thing I meant about the punch. This kick looks like it could go through a brick wall. I'm pretty sure you could make a nice Boomhit if you hit Uke in the chest area with it. Nicer than the second kick where the angle is very high again, and you have your knee bunched up against your chest and arm. The way you leave your leg just hanging in the air a while after connecting looks a bit stiff too. The rest of your movement is pretty fluid, especially going in for the pose.
