The hippie crap is so they can recruit people who would otherwise feel bad about the violent aspect - "this is a PEACEFUL martial art". People who don't care about that will ignore it and go to the next page, where it tells you how hard you'll be if you study this form.
The last two claims do not exclude the possibility that the "multiple opponents" and the "man" are incompetents. But it's perfectly standard "I'm the hardest" puffing up you're style propaganda - all martial arts teachers do this. Basic advertising - you're not going to recruit (paying) pupils by saying you're not as good as the other guy.
