In real life it is easily countered with a inward knee rotation. The name of the "technique" is actually derived from some cheesy HK martial arts films from at least the 70s.

We have been making "monkey steals peach" jokes for quite a while now, and even have the cat practicing a fairly accurate strike. We call that "kitty steals leechee", though.

Hayes is a legitimate Ninjutsu instructor. This is from one of Ashida Kim's books. I think it's from his "Ninja Hands of Death" book. I'm not 100% certain of this though. For those who don't know Ashida Kim is one of the biggest martial arts frauds in existence. His books are pure fiction. You do get a good laugh from the odd segment though. I must admit to laughing at the 'monkey steals the peach' when I first saw it. "I think I actually *own* the book this is from?
