Alright, I'll say it.

Given my extensive experience in the martial arts and martial arts films. I have slyly deduced that the moves these men are performing, though quite acrobatic, are in fact choreographed. Careful observations of aspects such as foot positioning, the timing of motions, the seemingly psychic awareness of the participants and countless other factors which are made apparent to the focused mind has led me to the make an observation that this "art" is more akin to a gymnastic performance, rather than a display of effective self defense. Again, this will become apparent to the trained enthusiast who truly takes the time to disect the video at hand.

This leads me to one final and inevitable conclusion that I don't think can be denied by anyone with the right qualifications.

That conclusion is:

This wouldn't work in an actual street fight.
