There is, though, a difference between fake martial arts and traditional martial arts that may not apply in a street fight. The psychic abilities are nonsense, of course, but traditional martial arts need not be dependent upon such silliness. I study Tang Soo Do, which falls within the traditional category, and thus has stylized motions and stances that would be foolish to use in a fight. But much of Tang Soo Do is practical and none of it makes claims of psychic powers.
Lifeskills for Adult Children is well-designed for people who need to bootstrap social skills from zero. It has literal scripts for simple interactions, such as greeting strangers. I enthusiastically endorse any effort to help people learn this essential dimension in life, especially as my own life has been held back by a lack of social development in my youth. And once you fall behind socially, you tend to keep falling further behind. It has an impact upon one's whole life. If you don't have social skills, it doesn't really matter what other advantages you might have.
This is an excellent rule. I have skipped posting many videos simply because the producers did not get to the point in an expeditious manner.
