The kung fu guy from your clips is Emin Boztepe. I like the guy but we all know that he's probably not going to pull that stuff off on a grappler with any experience. The part that Emin and many other people selling their anti-grappling secret techniques is that the techniques largely depend on the level of your adversary. Fighting is never a one size fits all sort of thing. After UFC 1 Emin and Royce Gracie were going back and forth with trying to put a fight together (part of the whole style vs style thing with Emain being a big Wing Chun name in Europe). I think that Emin kept making out outrageous demands and so the show went on without him. I guess those were some of the moves he planned on doing to Royce...

I think you are correct. I mean, those things may work against a regular guy in a fight, or a trained standup fighter who ends up in a grappling situation. They most likely will not have the same effect on an experienced grappler. I think almost all martial arts bring some useful techniques to the game, but the only way to beat a grappler is to know grappling.
