Speaking as an instructor, the the first thing I would correct is his stance. He's leaning back, which is a natural reaction for a novice shooter (the mind tells you to move away from the coming explosion). Of course, the gun moves back with you, because leaning back doesn't make your arms longer. Leaning back gives you bad balance, and if a child or someone of slight stature fires a more powerful gun while standing like that, it can either stagger them or sometimes knock them on their ass, both of which are really bad for obvious reasons.
Very easily correctable, though. Just lean slightly forward.
