Surrender Feigning surrender so that your opponent let’s their guard down.
In combat, most of our actions are predicated on what we perceive to be the mental state of our opponent. If our opponent is over aggressive and over-confident, we will often take a defensive posture and mindset. Alternatively, when our opponent is tired, exhausted or weakened, we are more likely to make our advances. With this in mind, it’s easy to see how feigning compliance or surrender in a specific situation can lure your opponent into making a move that you are not only anticipating, but prepared to capitalize on. Like a magician’s use of misdirection, your success with this principle lies in your understanding of human nature, and the ability to disguise your true intentions. On offense, this principle is often used to overcome a strong focused defense by luring the opponent into a false sense of security. On defense, this principle can be used to conserve energy and create escape opportunities when movement is heavily contested.
