Feinting is a skilled art, one that causes your opponents to be fooled by a false move and hit by another. From the ancient battlefields, to the competitions of today, feinting is a powerful weapon of deception that keeps the fight in your favor. If you can trick your opponent every time, they’ll never know where the next hit is coming from.

Yet too many fighters fail to pull it off successfully… and have the bruises to prove it.

In Timing in the Fighting Arts, authors Loren W. Christensen and Wim Demeere teach you the art of feinting, as well as other timing techniques that make you more powerful, more effective and more accurate.

Learn to get every ounce of speed and power from your techniques as you become lightening fast and hammer your opponent into submission. Whether for the street or the ring, correct timing is crucial for getting the most out of your skills. Develop feinting skills that incorporate more body movement and even facial expressions to make them react just as you want them to.

In this book you’ll learn:

Why many experts say timing is more important than speed How to put the OODA loop and Hick's law to work for you Why timing is both an offensive and defensive asset Which types of verbal distraction can give you the edge Why controlling your opponent's spine gives you an advantage Which tournament techniques really do work on the street How to set up multiple opponents to create timing opportunities The tricks law enforcement officers rely on to buy time How you can improve your odds against a gun or knife Why timing is one of the most important things you can add to your training

Backed by drills and practice scenarios, you can go beyond theory and put your new knowledge to work wherever you need it the most. If you're ready to take your skills to the next level, Loren and Wim are ready to show you the way.
