AGREED
What I meant and did not express well was that you really do not think of these principles when you are dealing. You goal is to survive, not to win.

It depends on when and where your opponent has intersected your punch. Your choose may be limited. In the following clip, you may only be able to reach to your opponent's leading arm. If your hand can reach to your opponent's back arm, your options will be much more.

I understand. As I learned it this is not something you always do but is a tactic and is an option best used in certain situations. Also as I said it is not just pulling and not just directed to his arms for example I can push or shove his shoulder to turn him or I can press on his face or torso to keep him off balance.
