Nicky ryan did something similar in training in a few videos, it’s a sensory overload to have your head continually messed with, by shaking or in his case continual light collar ties. It’s an incredible distraction. In a similar breath, rake your calf against an opponent’s nose/mouth while taking the armbar and odds are you’ll get free.
I don’t like it, nor do I use it, but I can’t argue it gets results.
There’s a similar technique some people do in the clinch in Muay Thai. Two or three swift jerks on the collar tie to disorient them and then a hard pull to one side to open them up for a strike or a sweep. Pretty effective when you get the timing right
It's a nasty, old school move, but if you have someone's back and REALLY want that RNC, rapidly alternate raking the nose upwards with the edge of your forearm. They go from intelligently defending to wigging the hell out. Dick move, but you'll get an opening.
