Many martial arts strip you of your natural instincts in order to try to teach technique. In cases like this video, or for example the punching you see in a lot of arts, what they teach you is actually worse than your natural instincts. So not only do they teach you nonsense, they remove whatever effective instincts you may have started with.

In my younger days (teens-20s) I believed there was a hard line between effective martial arts and fake martial arts. (Karate, Muay Thai, BJJ, etc. and aikido, tai chi, etc.) I've since changed my opinion. I believe that fake martial arts only fall into two categories.

People tends to think striking styles of Martial arts is better than Tai Chi, which isn't wrong, but that's because when compared to each other they both are 2 different types of martial arts and serves 2 different purposes.

If the technique has been used in, let's say, UFC or ONE Championship or similar, successfully; and especially if it's been done with ongoing success…. Then you can be safe to say that the martial art that harbors that technique is a real one. That it works and that it would have merit on the „street".

Hell, many people like to train martial arts because the practice and the social bonds they form in the activity are meaningful to the individual themselves which, in the context of the society at large, is way more laudable and preferable than a hierarchical pecking order based on a superiority in skills involving physical violence.

Martial arts are ultimately a physical expression of the practitioner, so maybe you aren't meant to be an aggressive fighter and would be better off being more of a counter fighter. You should get comfortable with both strategies though and explore different things without feeling like you need to be set in one mode.

Palm strikes also make more sense cause you can also grab to pull hair out, ears off, gouge eyes, break fingers, and so on. Stomping also seems much preferable to any martial arts kick. Whatever you are stomping against a hard surface is likely to break, be it a hand, knee, head, or whatever.
