I think though shifting only works well if you're ambidextrous when it comes to working optimally out of orthodox or southpaw. I think most styles of Karate do a very good job of teaching you to be ambidextrous - I know I constantly stance switch myself and I owe it to training in Karate.
Yes, I agree with everything said in this paragraph. For those who do not practice Karate I think it's important to work your techniques from southpaw as well as orthodox for the reasons of ambidexterity Azam listed. It may be a little extra work but I believe well worth it.
By the way, I've always thought that Sensei Rick Hotton (the man in the video) has nice crisp technique and good swivel in his hips.
