Many Asian self-defense techniques make a habit of using one's opponents force against them. It often involves actions like letting someone push you over, so you can pull them with you. While you are only affected by the force he applies to you, he is feeling his own force PLUS the force you add in grabbing him and pulling him down, which you use to throw him past you.

How's that for an appropriate analogy?
