About a month ago I wrote a guest article at PUA Lingo called “Stealthy KINO Moves.” The article was about the majority of the “secret” little moves I use and teach my clients in-field, such as:
- The Shoulder Tap
- The Finger Tap
- Hand on Waist
- The Compliance Test
- The Finger Pull
- The Belly Rub
- The Rapport Mis-Match
These moves are all very subtle and, when done correctly, undetectable on a conscious level as seductive moves. If you are new to seduction and PUA terminologies, KINO is defined as “physical touch of someone” and it is one of – if not THE most important – non-verbal communication aspects of the PUA.
One of the commenter’s over at PUA Lingo duly notes that I left out the touch of the biceps, and that this move is also extremely powerful as stroking a biceps gently releases sexual neurons. I agree, it is indeed strongly related to the argument I state for using the Belly Rub. However, I do not use that move myself, I personally opt for the triceps.
To me, the triceps area is more accessible when standing, and since my KINO moves are all about stealth, that’s where my choices have brought me. Also, the triceps move is one I save for later stages; (very) gently stroking a woman over her triceps is so intimate that it has caused a lot of women to get shivers down their spine.
When I use it socially, it is usually the last thing I do before entering the make-out stages of interaction. When alone, it almost takes on a foreplay introduction role.
The “Corkscrew” Move
The “corkscrew” is one of my most “secret” moves that is KINO related which, up until now, I have only taught the clients I coach in-field. It’s a move mainly designed for optimizing set position, and it’s usable in both bar, club and street environments. I first learned about the basic move from witnessing the legendary Croatian PUA “BadBoy” as he was in action and refined it later on using aspects of the foot-sweep technique from Karate.
The ingredients of this move are very simple. All it requires is feet positioning, hands around her waist and the turn of your head.
You’ll want to use the corkscrew if, for one reason or the other, you want to turn another person away from something or someone without that person ever noticing it – which is why I mainly use this move on the street, where the most important logistical thing to do in the first minute or two is to get your target turned in the opposite direction in the attempt to divert her focus away from where she was going, thereby making it easier for yourself to carry the first crucial moments of conversation.
How to do a “Corkscrew”
The move is simply demonstrated “live” – I’ll see if I can’t get up a video for you. For now though, let me explain it in writing:
Person A (you) and Person B (the girl) are standing next to each other, facing in the same direction, bodies slightly pointed towards each other. Person B is standing to your right. When you normally stand like this, your feet are planted next to each other.
You can get her to turn by asking questions and pointing backwards, at first with your right hand, then with both hands or your left hand (over your right shoulder) – assuming the rapport is good, she will follow your gestures and you will effectively turn and face the opposite direction, her now to your right. That’s the “old school” way of doing it, and it works many times however, it’s obvious and it’s try-hard. I don’t do try-hard, and I don’t do obvious.
Start as you would with slight KINO (touch of arm or shoulder) as you move closer. Move your right foot back one step, then go for the waist, but:
Instead of moving your right foot back, planting it next to her left foot, step it in right behind her and plant the inside of your right foot no more than an inch from the inside of her left heel. Your foot must be on the inside of her foot, effectively locking in the two of you together. Avoid touching her foot as this would otherwise direct her attention to you making a move.
Position recap: Your right hand around her waist, your right foot positioned inside her left foot.
Now what you do is both simple and sneaky: Instead of the “old school” way, you move your head to your left as you are talking and take a step back with your left foot, and turn your right foot until it touches her left foot. Keep your hand on her waist to create a slight pressure point that will direct her to move forward. However, “forward” in this position is converged on your “corkscrew center” (your feet) and you are effectively using your head turning left to turn your torso, which then directs your right arm to apply pressure to her waist whilst supporting her at the same time, causing her to “circle” the center.
Keep your right foot planted on the ground as you move, only lift it if you sense that she is in an uncomfortable position (or to avoid twisting your knee!). If the girl does not circle around the center of the corkscrew, lift the front of your right foot and gently touch her foot with your toes (because you are moving your head, she will not consciously notice the foot touch, but she WILL move).
This technique works because of the slight pressure and very solid lock-in, combined with the fact that you are turning your head away as you speak. To make it dead-sure, only turn your head mid-sentence, and preferably as you are asking her a question, as this will engage her more.
Mastering the corkscrew will enable you to turn anyone in any social setting; it works extremely well on the street if your rapport work is good, and it’s also a lot of fun to do wingmen mirror versions.
Now, go out there and un-screw some corks!
Oh, PS: If you are dying to read about the moves I mention in the introduction of this article, feel free to visit the original PUA Lingo article.
When writing up field reports, I have two main concerns; one is PUA driven, the other is moral and motivation driven. The PUA driven side is mainly an expression of my desire to post-analyze what went down and to share my learning with you. And then again, there is a deeper meaning to it:
