Expert Village Video: Charging

As a newbie I enjoyed the comments on my post of the YouTube video from Expert Village on tripping. Thought it might be helpful for me and other newbies to look at another and get some comments. I guess these videos are good instructional material as long as you are looking for the errors.

Here's the video



The first thing that jumped out at me is the "charge" signal given in the video is actual the player control foul signal, shouldn't this be followed with the two handed push/charge signal?

Secondly the description of what is a block in the video seems to perpetuate the "its a block if the defender is moving" myth. And it seems to me that the example of the block in the video (about 1:05 in) is actually a charge. Looks like the defender had LGP and was moving laterally to maintain it. Comments?
