watch how they all dogpile the host when he runs the course but when the instructor does it they attack her one by one with slowed down soft haymaykers she deflects with her flailing kenpo hands.
Put this instructor in a gi in a stripmall and people would be calling it bullshido immediately

For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
I'm inherently suspicious of fighting styles that depend on dirty fighting. Because the truth is that anybody can fight dirty if they want to - so if dirty is all you've got you're falling behind.
And the knife defense thing at 5 minutes on the Fight Quest video will get you cut.

Ooooh burn!
Honestly? When Kung Fu is taught as nothing but dirty fighting, yeah, it deserves to get called out.
Frankly most of my fondness for Kung Fu has more to do with literature and archaic weapons than anything resembling real fighting. For that I'm happy enough to be a filthy kickboxer.
Then again, that's not likely to surprise you considering my posting history.

Look at it this way, who has a better chance?
A person that can fight well with and without rules
A person that needs to "fight dirty"
As I have often pointed out, rules LEVEL the fight and if you can't beat someone on a level field, then how to you expect to beat them if they are not restricted ?

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
