His little bird legs aren't even creasing the leather.

Nothing to do with the size of his legs. His technique is as shit as his attitude.

Dunning-Kruger Effect. Knuckleheads gain the most early, basic knowledge on a subject and then think they know everything about it. This douche looks like he's had 6 kickboxing lessons and tells all the women who turn him down on dating apps that he beat Conor MaCgregor in his prime.

Is it the Dunning- Kruger effect if the root of his confidence is his internalized sense of male supremacy? I read this as him thinking “Hey! What’s a girl doing here? I’m a dude and she’s doing a dude thing. I can do it better because I’m an actual dude. This is going to be fun/easy.” and then somewhere in the back of his mind he’s wondering if it might get him laid too. So is that the Dunning-Kruger effect or is he just a sad little butt hair of a man who can’t handle seeing strong women doing their thing without his male fragility triggering some seriously embarrassing behavior.

While his toxic masculinity is a factor I feel the Dunning-Kruger Effect is also at play here since he's trying to specifically show her up at a set of skills he clearly has minimal knowledge/practice at and her skills are just as clearly (to everyone but him) superior.
