Feint (Body Maneuver)


A specific form of a Body Maneuver which is physically distinguishable by its intent, to deceive, mislead, confound, or distract the opponent(s).

 

Comments:

 

Feints are non-specific physically. Rather the intent is what characteristic binds these disparate physical motions to this type of Body Maneuver.

 

The most common type of feint with the body is the flinching of the entire body (usually forward), simulating a telegraphed strike.

 

Feinting can be done with any part of the body, or not with the body at all. Feints can also be verbal and/or physiological.

 

Feints can, but most frequently don't, include (usually stunted) Foot Maneuvers.
