Top Tips
Amateur: When you throw the fake, keep your right hand extended, chin tucked behind your shoulder and left hand high to defend yourself.
Semi-Pro: Make sure your fake looks realistic, otherwise your opponent won’t fall for it.
Professional: You can also try switching things up and throwing a reverse hook kick to the chin instead.
