That's because it's a mixed styling, it trains suppression, run reaction, transition from combat to parkour (possibly after being floored a few times and taking a few hits) and the synergy between a suppressive situation straight into a fleeing situation, such as if 3 guys (one of them armed with a pistol, the others with knives) hold you at gunpoint and escort you along, you could disable one into the others and make a dash for the corner of a building and hit cover before the pistol holder could aim at you.

It's not training for any specific thing, it just breeds good habits.
