OK I'll admit this guy wasn't to bad.
At first he seems like he is just teaching folks to use a shotgun, but it's the small things that make the difference.

His simple "gear he was running" involves a chest rig that can hold 24 rounds, in quick deployable little doo dahs. Now when I have taught people to shoot my shot gun I usually pull the ammo out of the box, or my pocket, or if I'm feeling a bit hardcore its and ammo belt.
He mentions fighting stance and the loading through the port instead of from the tube like a normal person, are the first signs of SAS wanabee.

All these things could be fine, if he was training people for 3 gun or extreme duck shooting. But since it was for beginners or folk interested in self defence, it begins to cross the line.
Usually I'd expect one to shoot clays if they were wanting to shoot a shot gun well, instead of shooting a shotgun like SWAT.

It's like Airsoft. Shooting your mates with BB guns is great fun. It's when the Military gear comes out, the badges get sewn and the call signs start getting used it turns south.
