Having practiced both Chung Do Kwan and Shotokan Karate, I may be able to offer some insight...
What you see out of one branch of Chung Do Kwan might not be seen in another branch. For example, one faction may use the Tae Guk and Pal Gae series of forms for the gup rankings (below black belt), while another faction could very well use the Pyung Ahn (very similar to Shotokan Heian) series of forms for their gup ranking holders. For some schools, their dan ranking holders might similarly practice forms that are similar to the Shotokan kata (Ship Soo = Jitte, Pal Sek = Bassai Dai, etc), whereas other schools will choose the other path of studying a different series of form (Koryo, Kumgang, etc).
It all depends on the lineage.
That being said, I do not believe that the video shown in the OP is *not* typical of most Chung Do Kwan schools, or at least the overwhelming majority with whom I am familiar.
I can say that we never practiced form this way. The way we practiced form was much akin to how a traditional JKA dojo would practice Shotokan Karate kata (we used Taeguk / Pal Gae / Dal Hyung, which were distinctly different from Shotokan's Heian). Each move was distinct, even ones that were chained together (and smoothly, too). Form was never rushed, and there was always an emphasis on maximizing the use of the whole body when throwing techniques. Hips would remain level (no bouncing up and down), and each technique was strongly focused.
I don't know what someone has to benefit from practicing it in the way shown above, so I'll simply leave it up that that faction, and their methods, and will disagree with them.
