I have used this move successfully against 10 different opponents playing as Yoshimitsu in Tekken 2 and 3
in real life, I have used it against a judo player who stepped in to do a hip throw. I stiff armed him and as Burton described pulled him over my leg and behind me using opposite motion as Chad described. It really helped using his Gi to facilitate my grip...can't say I would have gotten this move without the Gi.
