Has Patrick ever actually specified what martial art he trained in/instructed?

Exactly. Krav Maga's a bunch of self-defense lessons. And the classes felt like CrossFit WODs for beginners.
They're fine, but like you said, krav's focused on extremely specific situations: a guy comes at you with a gun, two guys come at you with knives and bats, someone hits you from behind while sitting at a bar, you're pinned on the ground on your back. And if that was the case, I'd use what I know from BJJ. It can be worth knowing some of the tactics, for sure, but if I were the type to get into fights often (like Pat), I'd use what I know from BJJ 99% of the time and krav less than 1%.

(took a break from BJJ during the COVID year; tried krav maga for a bit)

Just took a gander at a krav maga vid. The techniques I saw looked a lot like Filipino martial arts such as Escrima/kali or silat. They have some absolutely brutal moves that will get you thrown in prison if you used them in a bar fight and your life wasn’t threatened
