I liked the knife video. When I was studying Aikido in Austin we had the pleasure of having the guy who taught the Army's knife-fighting infantry school train with us and do a few classes. I've been in two knife fights in my life and I wish I'd had those classes beforehand.
I've been told that the squatting thing is about 2/3 hamstrings and 1/3 balance. If you can loosen your hamstrings up to the point where you can sit on your heels then (I'm told) learning the balance is relatively easy.
