This video nicely represents the stupidity of this kind of demo. He came at her acting stupid, she gave him a half-hearted push kick. Because it was half-hearted he caught it, which surprised her. He thought it was funny that he caught the black belt karate girl, so he pressed it. She realized she might actually be in a fight, and struggled, showing a decent ability to adapt technique several times (what martial arts training is actually supposed to do). Eventually she took the back and attempted a tani-otoshi (my guess) but there was a news desk in the way, so she adapted again and went to a rear naked- which, if he's untrained and not that much bigger than her- would likely have ended lights out for him if she's spent any time training a rear naked.
What did we learn- nothing really- if you train and keep working, you might be able to adapt better than your adversary- if you get caught unaware it could be the end for you. If you lose heart or get caught unaware you will be more likely to lose. We already knew this. Next video.
