I do believe that's the best kestrel hawking video I've ever seen!!! I've been tempted to try that throwing technique but have decided against it. Instead, I've been emailing with a master that imprinted a kestrel and after using good bagging techniques had it successful taking very long slips. I can see how the throwing can force the kestrel to "think quick" but it seems to me it would take away the need to develop much in the way of muscle tone and endurance, which is what I would like to go for being as I have alot more space available to me where I live.
