Technique used: Kung Fu
Look at how the yellow shirt guy choses his opponent and look at his stance too!
Would Brazilian Jujitsu work better here? I doubt it!
Do you know the difference?

Unarmed combat
This "art", is brutal, cruel and effective...because it is a matter of LIFE AND DEATH while using it!!
Used in varying "styles" by different militaries all over the world and with varying degrees of efficiency in different combat vocations, it is probably the only "pure" fighting art.
In martial arts, you DO NOT want to snuff the life out of your opponent. Especially if you are a shaolin monk, right?
So, most martial arts are there for defence and then to overcome your opponent without much damage to yourself and making your opponent yield.
In unarmed combat, there is no tap out. If you were in the jungle, there are no judges and tap outs. Giving your opponent a 2nd chance probably means death for yourself!

Kajukenbo
I had difficulties in catching its name on Fight Quest.
I had the impression that it was a street fighting technique.
Taken from Wikipedia.
Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art that combines karate, tang soo do, judo, jujutsu, kenpo and kung fu. It was founded in 1947 in Oahu, Hawaii, at the Palama Settlements.
The original purpose of the art was to deal with local crime, and to help the people defend themselves from U.S.
Navy sailors who would drink and start fights. The founders were Sijo ("founder") Adriano Emperado, Peter Young Yil Choo, Joe Holck, Frank Ordonez, and Clarence Chang, who called themselves the Black Belt Society.
Kajukenbo uses hard, fast strikes to vital points throughout the body, takedowns involving high impact throws and many joint and limb destruction techniques--usually as follow-ups to takedowns. There are also many blocks from attacks such as punches and defenses and disarmament of offensive weapons.
My opinion: Sounds alot like Krav Marga. Meaning = practical self defence!

Seraph vs Neo (Matrix fight scene)
The Matrix trilogy features many fight scenes.
None of them realistic! But it is very much a tribute to the "old" kungfu stylize fights.
Seraph played by Collin Chou vs Neo played by Keanu Reeves.
We know that Keanu is not a martial artist, that's why most of the fight scenes are in slow-mo (in my humble opinion).
