Developing effective deception is about much more than fooling an opponent. It is about influencing perception, shaping decisions, and creating opportunities before they even realize what has happened.

In this webinar, Tom Sotis presents 16 fundamental deception tactics that can be applied across self-defense, combatives, and fighting. Each tactic is explained in detail and illustrated with multiple practical examples, demonstrating how different techniques can achieve the same tactical objective. Rather than teaching isolated tricks, this session helps you understand the underlying principles that make deception effective.

By the end of the webinar, you'll have a structured framework for recognizing, selecting, and applying deception more intelligently—giving you a versatile toolbox that can be adapted to a wide range of situations rather than relying on a handful of memorized techniques.
