Much better shooters than me have already commented, but I thought the video looked pretty good overall. (Albeit with the trigger discipline issue that's already been discussed). Professional instruction and dry fire are the way forward from here. .

How are you gripping the gun? What I mean by that is are you focusing on anything when you grip or are you just squeezing?
The more you shoot the more you will learn and looks like you're doing great so far! Much better recoil control than I usually see at indoor ranges.
There's different philosophies on grip. I used to mimic the Vogel grip in the video and I'm not saying that you absolutely should not do it but Vogel is a freak of nature. He has insane grip strength and his style of gripping works for someone like that.
Remember, you don't need to have a super strong grip to control recoil. It's about applying pressure in the right areas. That will come more more practice in dry and live fire.

I think this video is excellent, although the most important part is about recoil control, trigger control.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I got some better video of my grip,... (And made certain to consciously correct that Horrible trigger finger F'-Up!)
I am about 250 rounds into the session at this point & I am definitely noticing fatigue. (...shot another 100 after this before calling it a day.). What I was surprised to see in this video, is that strange slipping of the thumb on my support hand. It drops down from it's higher support position during/after the recoil. I imagine I'm not focussed on squeezing hard enough with the support hand. Whether due to fatigue, or just generally sloppy technique? I suppose I need to get some video from earlier in a range session, before I'm getting tired to know for sure.
On another note,.. I know a lot of guys here absolutely hate the idea of settling for "Good Enough!" But IMHO,.. I feel My accuracy isn't too terribly horrible for a guy who's NEVER planning to aspire to be a competition, or some 'High speed Operator' type of shooter. I'm Simply looking for effective speed & accuracy for personal defense purposes. That said,... I Do get a little wood when I can manage a nice grouping! LoL
This is again, My Glock 19, shooting @ a distance of 5 yards.
Here's the grouping of this 15 round series.
You’re pushing down with your thumbs instead of pushing in. That’s why the slippage of the weak thumb.
When I’m gripping, my thumbs are bent and I’m pushing straight through the side of the frame.
Strong thumb YOU:
ME:
Weak thumb YOU:
ME:
This is my standing freehand group with my carry gun (P365) at 10 yards:
I'll toss my thoughts into the ring.
Guns are just machines and without you they can do no harm, nor any good
Adding to what #HCM said... athletic stance. Your weight in being moved backward with each shot. I'm betting your stance is flat footed. Adopt a slightly weight forward stance and position your feet so they look more like a fighter's. You are fighting after all. Right handed shooter should have his/her left toes slightly ahead of their right toes. Feet shoulder width apart. Weight on the front 2/3 of the feet. This is just a basic idea. Everyone has their own take on the formula that is "right" for them. This should correct that upper body movement. Listen to the others about your grip. Really!
