Nextshark reported how some viewers downplayed the video, claiming that the moves are actually "useless in combat." and simply fun to watch.

Some criticized the high flying kicks, calling them impractical unless they were "training to fight giants."

But many defended the demonstration, explaining how the level of skill is still undeniably apparent and "would cause damage."

In July 2018, Daily Mail reported when a martial arts student put her own skills to use when a mugger attempted to steal her phone. Lorrana Braga thought the gun was fake, and so she bravely fought off the assailant.

She used her skills in Morganti Jiu-Jitsu, a mix of Jiu-Jitsu, karate, and judo, to scare off her attacker. After she landed several kicks on the thief, he gave up his attempt and fled the scene.
