Ok. It’s looking good. Seeing and hearing the video, I bet you’re having a hard time because the SM is too “heavy”, and happening too fast. To make it lighter and slower try this:
The flip needs to be more vertical, right now it’s too sideways, making it harder to control.
You need to be able to almost stall at the top, so you can control the descent. This will allow you to choose how and where you will land. Working on getting the flip more vertical will help a lot with this.
Think UP instead of OVER. Using the Veena grip like you are, should allow you to go slower than other grips.
You can try different head positions too. Try looking up for as long as you can, to help you maintain a more vertical trajectory. Looking towards the shoulder can help complete the flip, but only if you’re able to get vertical.
You’ve got this!

Before working on this trick you must have a very solid inside leg hang. If you’re struggling to grab the foot, I suggest working on…

Hi! I’d never heard of that trick, but when I looked it up, it seems that it’s what I call a cocoon. Which can be done from an inside or outside leg hang. I know there are different names for this pose depending on the leg used, but I try to keep things simple.
I don’t have or know of a tutorial for it, HOWEVER….
Have you watched my Scorpio (inside leg hang) tutorial? If not I think you’d find it will provide what you need to enter into Bilman/Cocoon. https://www.studioveena.com/tutorial/scorpio-inside-leg-hang-1033/
Key cues to add to my tutorial for Bilman are:
A short scorpio for the inside leg
Once the scorpio feels secure, remove the inside arm from the pole to reach for the foot.

What an interesting question!
I’ve not gotten into a physical fight with anyone, so I can’t say that it’s improved my ability to fight.
However, pole does as you mentioned improve all aspects of our strength, mobility and if you dance and not only work on tricks. You’ll improve your stamina, maneuverability and agility.
I have no doubt that most pole dancers could overtake someone who’s their size who doesn’t workout.
