Anti-takedown techniques using internal energy

Someone posts this video in another forum.
IMO, people try to make a big deal about "internal energy" or external energy. To counter a takedown, it depends on who controls who's arm/arms. It has nothing to do with "internal" or external.
Before you apply your takedown, you have to control your opponent's arm/arms first. If you can do that, your opponent's "internal enetgy" will have no effect on you.
In the following 2 clips, they control their opponent's arm by "reverse arm drag". The couter should be "how to deal with your opponent's arm drag?" and not "how to use your internal energy?"
Is there "internal" way to deal with arm drag and external way to deal with arm drag? I don't think so.
What's your opinion on this?
