I never tried it with my hands clasped together before. But I sure will next time in the gym. Looks fun and interesting. But I HAVE tried it with both arms extended about a foot apart. This was against boxers, in a boxing gym that I trained at for years. Against good boxers. I'd do it just to tick them off, or when I was tired but didn't want to stop sparring. It prevented me from getting hit - or getting hit a hell of a lot less than usual. I only did it against guys I knew because it really pisses off a lot of boxers.
I played with it a bunch over the years in dojos. I didn't have a lot of success against kickers, until we were in closer range, then it was okay. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't something I'd do on a regular basis, but I explored it a lot over the years.
I know seeing it on tape makes a lot of folks just poo poo it. For them - might be an idea to play with it now and then over a period of time, I think you would be surprised at what you find.
Gee, I want to run to the dojo right now and play with it again. Too bad there's nobody around right now.
