I'm always still in trouble again

I think that move will work exactly once.

The initial charge (the "tachi-ai") is considered a staple of the sport, and although it is legal to sidestep completely like that, it's frowned upon and considered a bit cheap. Also, it's far from a guaranteed win, as I've seen plenty of guys whom this was tried against manage to retain their balance and win quickly from there.
When Sho Hakuho used it in a match a few years ago he was widely criticized as a result for using a technique unbefitting someone of his rank ("yokozuna" -- the highest rank). Others disagree saying it is an extremely risky maneuver leaving you wide open if it doesn't work.
Here is an example of it being employed, if I'm not mistaken by Sho Hakuho.
