An idiom referring to a sophisticated maneuver which, in performing a check, creates a cocked position for one or more potential future weapons.

Comments:

this term refers to only one main characteristic of the overall checking maneuver. Because of this, the same checking maneuver can potentially be referred to in different ways or through a combination of characteristics.

Cocking Checks are typically created by intentionally setting up for a potential follow-up offensive maneuver.

With analysis, one should determine that the majority of checks are in some way are Cocking Checks. This is primarily due to the concept of contouring - see example below for illustration.
