Five minutes of video and I saw a single effective maneuver, a block toward the beginning of the clip.
The rest of it is fancy flips and spinning. Really, really neat, and definitely stuff that I can't do, but not a martial art, in my opinion.
Every one of the attacks looks tacked on, like it's a display art that someone wanted to make look like a martial art.
