hmm maybe makeing your body stronger to fight better. Or stregthening your body as a self cultivation and makeing your will stronger as well. You can choose.

Most likely in a pulling context.
While not all of those pull ups looked particularly useful, a number of them looked used for sitting up in the guard in BJJ or sitting up in the triangle to get better leverage on the head. Also some of those upside crawls have a value for increasing the ability to pull/squeeze with the legs for breaking posture or maintaining a closed guard.
Though largely I tend to agree with the topic title.
