The crossing the line is to give a time advantage, so you can run away.
Finishing a 3-8 person fight ESPECIALLY with weapons means you either get severely hurt or severely hurt people, winning can get you sued, losing can get you hurt, so you run away.
Parkour is the art of running away, tricking is the specific fiend of parkour for non-practical movements. You can notice a parkour master by his ability to go from point A to point B more quickly than normal movements and with the least loss of energy to do the movements.
The circle concept is to train you to understand when you get a person and to train split second timing to be able to bolt away as soon as that happens.
