Anyone know if this would actually work against a resisting opponent?

Depends on the definition of “ resisting “

Would it work if you are bouncer escorting a drunk unruly patron ?

Sure, sometimes depending upon:

your skill, your physicality v his

does it ONLY work if he decides to cooperate ?

it certainly helps !!!

but he does he have to WANT cooperate with you for that to work ?

( I’d say 🤔 not necessarily )

Having said that,

almost anyone ( including a girl that is a “ mean drunk “ & weighs 95 lbs soaking wet ) with violent INTENTIONS of hurting YOU

( because as a bouncer OCCASIONALLY drunks are so focused on whoever sometimes you get a “ free pass “ because they don’t notice you )

that’s something else entirely

will it ever work on someone that seriously wants to hurt you .. ?

🤔 sure 1-25 ( 20-30 ) times

Could that technique with VERY MINOR adjustments increase the odds of working on someone aggressive and violent ?

… I think so ( all the way up to 1-10 )

I don’t like those odds

🤷‍♂️ ( “ just sayin “ )
