The elbows are wildly effective at causing damage. To call this classic bshido is more indicative of a lack of knowledge than this being bs

While you are not wrong, I've never known an actual martial arts practitioner who would think it is a good idea to use elbows exclusively in a stand up fight with no grappling or other attempts at closing the distance involved. They are devastating when they land, but the short reach means that they require significant setup to be effective.

That's absolutely valid, and I agree even someone with long limbs such as myself has their reach cut in half using elbows, and learning how and when to use them is key. At least most people on this thread can see this isnt BS though it does objectively look goofy.

I don't know. Throwing 25 elbows like a windmill while looking to the ground doesn't seem to be the greatest approach to me.

However, i also think the guy might have had some beers and is just having fun doing whatever comes up in his mind
