Jay Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Jeet Kune Do is based all around feinting.We never go in without doing it. And if you don't react to it well you still get hit. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardZ Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I once feinted a fainting to lure a opponet to drop their guard. Does this count as feinting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montana Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I teach, and use feints often, but not always because in class my students get wise to it and don't fall for them any more. Where feints are good are with someone taht doesn't know how you fight. Bringing yoru foot up like you're going to front kick him in the groin will usually cause your "not-so-skilled opponent to bend slightly at the waist, breaking their center of gravity, and also usually makes them lower their guard/hands. Watching yoru opponents reaction to a feint you use is useful so that you can set them up later with that same technique, but this time follow it with a punch to the face or whatever. Same thing applies with a feint of a punch. Often it causes the inexperienced opponent to brinbg his hands up to cover his face, which in turn leaves his groin and torso exposed to a kick.I've used them successfully in a SD situation also and they work GREAT! If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.Student since January 1975---4th Dan, retired due to non-martial arts related injuries.

sensei8 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Feints are the next best thing to sliced bread in the martial arts! The better one's at feinting the easier it is to manipulate a opening. The better one can feint the easier it is to expose intentions. The better one can feint the better one can eliminate any detectable telegraphing. Feinting is like a fine wine; aged until it's as perfect as it can be. In whether it's used in the dojo, at tournaments, and/or in any self-defense situation; feinting has become a lost art, find it, embrace it, reclaim it, train in it, but, by the power of Houdini, master the feints' slight of hand techniques. **Proof is on the floor!!!

Jay Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 When you feint you need to feint as If you about to hit them. Then if they fall for it be ready to change line.If they don't then renew the attack and hit them anyway. The key to everything is continuity achieved by discipline.
