Is that the right way to bleed your brakes?

As far as I am seeing, yes , this is the correct way.
The pumping/bleeding action is done a bit slow, but for the rest it is ok.

The empty-ing of the master cilinder saves you wasting new brake fluid on pushing the old crap out.

Normally you would start on the caliper fartest from the MC, but on a diagonal split system the manual has another sequence (unfortunately I only have a EU manual, for a LHD car)so I do not know the correct sequence for a RHD car).As the video also is for a LHD car the sequence he mentions probably is incorrect for a UK LHD car, as the MC is mounted on the other side of the firewall.

Probably the sequence is not THAT important, as most people start with the wheel fartest from the MC, and work towards the MC without problems.
