Can’t see the vid, is it Patric McCarthy the famed Karate guy ? The kind of mentor and consultant to the famed Swedish Karate Nerd that from time to time is brought up at this forum ?
He’s living down under now ? Have you met him ?
He brings forth some interesting understandings of karate. Not only a traditionalist, he also competed in the early days of kickboxing, back then called full contact karate, fought against pioneering legends such as Bill Superfoot.
The guy is a legend and pioneering in his own right

He mentions the nerd
No I haven’t met him but I taught one of his senior students who would travel a couple of hundred KM,s once a week to train with me
He showed me about 12 two man drills they taught
They were like hubud only a couple I didn’t like

Many years ago I was also shown by one of his students….one 2-man drill(it was really many years ago 
) Anyway, the drill was like an modification of a traditional block/parry-straight punch strike drill I learned in Okinawa, but I was informed his variant(s) of the drill was as original as the one I had learned.
Could actually be. I learned the drill in the GoJu ryu tradition, while McCarthy’s from the Shorin ryu tradition.
The student mentioned that a similar drill is found in Filipino MA too..

In the drills I was shown one was what I would think was FMA
In the interview he mentions he learnt in the phillipines
He trained with a student of Tino Cebrano
Tinos daughter is a famous Australian singer
Richard Norton and Bob Jones were students of Tino
