AWF - Attack with a finte - backhand outside

In SAMI Knife Fighting Concept we use feinting like in fencing. The feint (from the Italian fingere) means something like excuse or deception.

A feint is an action that suggests an intention to the opponent in order to induce a predictable reaction. If the opponent carries out his reaction, this is a good opportunity to carry out the actually intended action. Fints are only promising if they cannot be recognized as such. They must be presented convincingly and not become a habit, otherwise they can be recognized as an attempt at deception and thus endanger the person who finters.
