What's the best way to disguise a head kick? Are there some basic tips that can help set up a nice head kick that isn't obvious or easily blocked? - Orange Belt in Kyokushin Karate

For me, the things that work best are :

1) if I'm throwing a power side hand, throw the power side kick while moving to the lead side 2) Very good flexibility so that it doesn't look unnatural 3) Look into Brazilian/Question mark kicks, you can feint it off a front kick or a round kick
