[Not with him telegraphing his movements. By this point, it's obvious Masaomi is somewhat ambidextrous, at least when it comes to fighting - experience; what sorts of things would he fight for? - but there are still slight tells that it's his right arm he's dominant with. It's a good feint, but it gives itself away with how slow it is for the dominant side - no intent to hit. He slides away from the left punch.
It should go mostly like this from here on out - Shikamaru dodging his attacks, only blocking them or striking himself when Masaomi gets a little too close for comfort. At least until he tries to pull something else.]
