Do people actually use puter kepala throws or are they just for demos?

after thinking even deeper thoughts I've come to the conclusion that since it would only supposedly work after you kick the balls and whatnot the move is a useless fanypants since your opponent would be pretty much finished after some knees to the balls and head IF THAT WOULD WORK

Your depth of thought lacks depth and thought. Not that I disagree with you on this subject. It's just the idea that this subject would take any depth of thought, lacks thought and depth.

Fun story
my neighbor trained with Ron at degerberg. They were getting tested for a Muay Thai belt and I dont think Ron passed. . . this was a long time ago though:eusa_danc

I used a variation of this from the duck under in MMA last week. The arm pushing the head was yanking down from a dirty boxing clinch, and I just kept it with me while popping behind. It didn't dump my partner but it did set him up for strikes nicely. More of a thing to boggle somebody better than shoving in just one direction.

I used to play around with these, but there's just too many ways to avoid them. One guy I tried it on countered with a kata garuma, and I was so impressed that I forgot to stop him from rolling into a mount.
