It doesn't work. When you see people reaching out superfast and kind of slappy quick positioning someone's body to take a fall, you know right away it's bullshido aka fake. In real life, a resisting opponent - especially an aggressive, violent man, which is generally the type who's going to start a fight with a stranger - isn't that easy to turn. The first thing he's going to do as soon as you reach out for him is take a step back and start throwing bombs on your ass. That's why you don't see this kung fooey stuff in MMA.
BJJ fighters, when they want to take you down, dive bomb your legs like a wrestler, wrap them with both arms and twist and pull you to the ground. Or they bear hug you then trip you. If you want to control a man or bring him to the ground, you have to grab his ass hardcore and absolutely commit to it, not slap him on the shoulder thinking that's going to make him do a 180 so you can punch that pressure point on the back of his neck lol
It's always amazing to me that even after the early UFC, basically a come one come all bare knuckles match, people still want to believe in this ninja stuff.
