To be good fighter you don`t need more than 1-2-3 left and right polished to perfection.
Rest is hidden in physical background / I`m not diggin` in mental here which is equally important/ .
I`m not TCMA expert, dough

I didn't see any fighting - is there a time stamp for it? So how can you say what they look like. Where's the fight. I reckon we would see an MT flavour and style.
This irrational mindset over looking like boxers and kickboxers has to be overcome and left behind. There are different issues to overcome, not being able to accept what certain striking looks like in a high pressure fight is just utter nonsense in the end. No TCMA guy will ever get to a higher level of fighting without ditching that mindset and embracing all martial art and pugalistic realities.. Only then is there a chance of any kind of transcendence by someone who may rise to the challenges.

If the style dictates to cover up, stay in same position and 'block' attack, then yeah that's the reaction you want to ingrain. If your style is about footwork and proper positioning in additioning to covering yourself, i think you need to ingrain other stuff.
But yeah, the speed and randomness is nice of the drills.
Good observation. They are learning to be reactive, they should be learning to be opportunistic

They are able to apply the techniques taught in their style against fast incoming strikes and still exhibit the style's characteristics and flavor. That is obviously a cut above many TCMAists who do not practice free-sparring or learn how to handle realistic attacks.
