In this Systematic Muay Thai lesson, Coach Nick from Apex MMA explains how to use the rear hip feint to disguise your intention and create striking opportunities.

The rear hip feint is an essential tool for breaking timing and forcing reactions. By showing the hip from outside range, you can bait your opponent into defending and then flow straight into the teep, round kick, cross or even a low kick. This makes the feint one of the most versatile setups in striking.

Coach Nick demonstrates how to cycle through each strike, build combinations, and use the hip feint to control the rhythm of an exchange. These details are key for both developing your stand-up game and making your attacks less predictable.

At Apex MMA, our Systematic Muay Thai program teaches striking through structured, evidence-based coaching. We focus on skills that are practical for self-defence, competition and overall martial arts growth.

Train with us in Brookvale on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and learn how to add techniques like the rear hip feint to your skill set.
