Sorry but there is no kung fu in that video, 99% is great street gymnastics (apart from the brief "fight coreography"). As well as kungfu I also do / teach modern wushu, but even the acrobatic movements of modern wushu are different from pretty much everything you see in the video.
So ... no wushu / kungfu in that video ... although Joe Eigo (the guy doing most of the moves) is definitely an amazing jumper and tumbler, especially given that he is 6' tall! As far as I recall from an interview he started gymnastics at around 8 and trained pretty solidly until about 17-18, then started cross-training some MA and falls, and eventually got into stunt work (has worked with Jakie Chan).
