Using feints in any form of combat is fundamental in achieving a successful outcome. Diversionary attacks and deceptions ensure that the opponents confusion in their defences. I have always felt that when a boxer really understands the concept of 'feint boxing' and how they need to incorporate the feint skill set in the technique, then they are well on their way to fulfilling their potential.

There are 3 basic type of boxing feints - hand feint, body feints and foot feint. The feint in boxing, certainly the ones I cover in the video, are most effectively used at long and mid range. Think of the opponent as two targets (head and body) and three trajectories to those targets (centreline, left flank and right flank).

When you attack (or feint an attack) to a target along a trajectory, often an opening will be created elsewhere...and this is at the core of using the boxing feint to achieve the outcome of landing a shot on the opponent.

Feint boxing is all about selling the feint, convincing the opponent that you are going to execute the attack...and then changing the attack to totally bamboozle them. Remember...boxing is a pressure business, if you are not punching you should be feinting and if you are not feinting you should be punching.

    If you're intelligent, you'll quickly realize how powerful feints are, and incorporate them into every move. It can be as small as a milisecond, a slight flick of the wrist, eye movement. I love your statement: "if you're not punching, you should ve feinting"
  • It's almost scary how relevant this video is because just today I was shadowboxing, thinking of ways to mix things up and incorporate more feints.

    I knew about feints but you opened my mind for new ideas in my game, I also heard somewhere that to realy sell the feint its good to hurt atleast once with specific punch you gone feint, like stab few times with jab to body then pretend and hook to head

    I have been doing a lot of work with my students with feints recently. Thankyou for this video I will use some of the techniques at training tonight. One of my favourite boxing quotes I believe was from Andre ward who said “some people think the most important punch in boxing is the Jab, I believe it is the feint” this quote jas resonated with me for some time. Thankyou coach you teach so well.
