I could have explained everything he said in 10 seconds but it took him 2 minutes because he doesn't understand that lifting the pivot foot and returning it to the floor is traveling. That is all he had to say.
If you observed the video being presented with the words, it was obvious he was using "lift" to mean raise the foot and return it to the floor....not how WE define it. This guy is obviously a coach and he was teaching correct technique and principle even if they were in layman's terms....in a way his target viewers would understand. We sometimes try to hard to pick apart the words of non-officials and don't, at least sometimes, give the a little benefit of doubt that they may know the topic but just don't know the technical words.
