This guys techniques are believable. I have witnessed skilled fighters throw five and six punches per second. I think the sound effects are actually because he is wearing jeans and a long sleve shirt. Anyone can duplicate those sounds if you throw a punch or kick fully clothed.
While speed and power look great and can be extremely successful in perfect situations, they mean NOTHING in the scope of things. The most important thing (as tought and known by all good fighters) are your feet and positioning in relation to your opponent.
I don't care if you can throw 20 punches per second and punch through bricks reinforced with steel, if I move out of the way before the punch/kick is thrown it is just wasted energy. Simple rules of physics. Also, if a fighter tries to out-speed or overpower an opponent, the become disadvantaged when they face someone who is stronger and/or faster then themselves.
Don't complicate things becoming mystified by someones speed or power. The best fighters are the ones who are the smartest thereby getting hit the least!
