feints vs. one hit perfect technique
« on: February 09, 2007, 06:59:57 PM »
Hey ... i have a question to all of you relating feints.
We had a great competition training today ... loaaaads of free fights.
The exercises before were combinations ... and feints.
The problem with feints is that you have to keep in mind that you want to fool your opponent. So you can't keep the thought in mind that you want to destroy your opponent with one technique.
Some people (ME !!!) want to hit their partner with one technique and not prepare and prepare and fool your partner and dance around ... just one effective technique.
So it is difficult to change this attitude and fight "competition".
What is your opinion to this ... ?
I don't really want to change this but to fight competition you have to ... don't you ?

feints are used to create openings, the openings then create opportunities to score (competition-wise) if you are too tied up with trying feints, you won't then move to the real purpose of the feint. IMHO.  The one-hit perfect technique....hmmm....nice if it comes off, I try to think in terms of multiple attacks, but then I am not really interested in competition fighting. 

Not sure if this post helps or adds to the confusion  :D

Hmmm,

feints are ok for competition, but I prefer maybe 'kyo'.  Same, but different.

Totally different IMO (and probably yours too MB I guess.... )   8)

EDIT: .....and of course both the same  :lol:

My feints are a means to landing that one perfect blow. Sometimes my feints if not blocked become the one perfect blow.

However, if you do not like feints, do not do them. Develop your timing and tecnique and go for the one perfect blow. Less injuries that way. Slower fight pace as well. IMO.
