    eye feints

    How many of you REALLY do eye feints? Looking to add a new feint to start trying and obviously a very different one is eye feints (looking one way striking another,etc)
    Questions are, 1 is it really that effective and do a lot of fighters use it?


    2 - Prob very hard to find since seeing the eyes in a fight would be considerably hard but does anyone know any fighters who are/were known for this, any examples?

    3- is it worth adding to my game....or could it be easily subsituted?
    thanks in advance Ive been thinking about this tactic a lot

    lots of laughs on this one. you might pull off some thing like this with the greenest beginners but otherwise forget about it. I wouldn't even notice your 'eye feints', I look in your eyes during the instructions only. After that I couldn't care less where your eyes were looking..... Rockin'

      ^^^ This.

      I am never looking at my opponents eyes to even be open to eye feints. Always looking around the base of their neck. I have only made eye contact with someone during sparring when I was just playing around with them and knew they couldn't catch or hurt me.

      BUT...if I did utilize eye feints, I would wink at my opponent in a seductive manner then step in with a 1 2

        I have a close friend that sparred many rounds with Emile Griffith in the late 1960s. He has told me numerous times about how Griffith would feint/misdirect you with his eyes.
