Interesting.

These "styles" seem to cover a large range of more well-known traditional martial arts: e.g. from kung-fu footwork and centerline awareness, karate "from-the-waist" attacks (a relatively unknown holdover from weapon usage), standing jiu jitsu body mechanic and submission attacks, all the way through to high level aikido-style energy redirection.

It is a shame that these less publicised arts are highly unlikely to have any true masters (actual users) left in modern society.

Very enjoyable. I have trained Pencak Silat and see many conceptual similarities. Very nice to see such fine demonstration and lecture. Wonderfully apparent knowledge base. Fascinating art.

I've been around a lot of martial arts, but this is some of the highest level and dangerous I've ever seen.
