Great technique. I always liked combat with knives and self defense art. They fight so fast.

I think there was a lack of control of the weapon hand on the knife disarms, and the gun stuff needed more body displacement. The unarmed stuff on this video looked good. I like the relaxed striking.

*shrugs* It's not unreasonable to think that people trying to study "psychic/mystical powers" might find enough about combat psychology, awareness, and the like to have useful application without having found anything magical. It wouldn't be the first time, they did that in Japan, China, Europe, etc.

You could learn some science from Alchemy, but you'd be better off with a 5th grade science textbook.

I looked this guy up on Youtube, expecting some kind of hocus pocus.
What I found was a guy with excellent conditioning drills. A lot of stuff that deals with functional strength and flexibility. He's well versed in Sambo, a very legit art. I believe he's also a kickboxer. He might toy with some funny ideas, but he fights using scientifically tested fighting skill.

The thing with this video is that you can probably find a video along these lines put out by someone from nearly every style out there. When styles tout there stuff, they like for it to look good. They don't want potential customers to walk away doubting anything about it.
I'm not saying this guy isn't good. What I am saying is that this was pretty much a demo video, and it did what it is supposed to do.
