I'll put it down to respect for the ol sifu or maybe he is teaching the point of being nimble and keeping distance. That makes the video more interesting.

It’s how you age in martial arts. But only if you’re learning it doesn’t happen when you think the idea and end result is to know how to do it, it’s inthe continued study of what you are doing.
