Intimidation!

Does anyone ever try and use intimidation in competitions to frighten your opponents? I know a friend of mine got his competitor really wound up once by blowing kisses at him before they fought and it really worked!! I cant say i ever use any sort of intimidation apart from the odd stare, but it would be interesting to know if anyone has any weird techniques before a fight or been in a dodgy situation like that?!

 

blowing kisses ok if thats how they fight? why dont you tell your friend to try cracking his finger it realy works ok.

I'd laugh at people who tried to frighten me by cracking their fingers at me!! What would make it even funnier is if they broke a bone whilst fighting!!

I have thought about it, But , If I had resulted to using intimidation in a competition, and I lost, it would make me look stupid. I would rather get on the mat, fight, and get off.

:spitlaugh:I had someone once growl at me at the hajime.

 

Since it was someone I had sparred with for at least a year it didn't bother me. :nod:But I don't know how a good growl might affect someone you have never sparred with before.

 

:brow:I'll have to remember the blowing a kiss. Allthough it might be difficult to do with a mouth piece in.

My Kiai as I get off the line helps intimidate. It makes the opponent know that "I'm here, come get some" It works a lot.
