By the way. That shield on the guitar looks like a homemade slab of plexiglass.
I like it though!

They are all the same notes with a different pummeling, I mean rhythm.
This is all the encouragement I need to practice.
If what you aspire to reach in your guitar journey is what this gentleman is doing, then by all means, please do as he instructs. However, if this is NOT what you aspire to reach, then by Jove, shy away from his videos! Notice that he has two stick-on nails on his right hand, which shows that he is indeed doing more of pummeling than he is actual playing. I think he is being too aggressive and showy, and people who do not know what flamenco or even rumba guitar is about will be impressed. However, I believe you should NOT get lured in by his fancy golpes, but rather get pushed somewhat away by his weak left hand. Maybe learn a couple of his strumming patterns, but surely don't do them super-hard the way he does, and if anything, make sure NOT to indulge in his compositions because I felt they were too weak, even for my rudimentary compositional skills.
(I think I just connected with Ruphus in this post of mine! [:D])
Shalom!
