The Saint Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 There are 2 types of fighters. 1) the people who get hit hard and cower away and cover up. 2) The people who use the pain and anger to hurt their opponet. The first time I speped in the ring I got hit with a hard right hook off the bat and found out i was the second type This sounds a bit farmilar, I took a round kick to the groin and became #2, too.

SevenStar Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 There's also a third type, those who remain calm and continue to fight their fight. Fighting with anger can be counterproductive.
Jiyn Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 when i used to do kickboxing and i was in the ring i had so much adrenaline that the hits were hardly felt and i was fighting some huge fat lad and his hits were really powerful and i was like why isant he hitting me hard and i kept looking at the audience and they were looking at me as if someone had died then i just went beserk and started pummeling him using my speed and his slowness to my advantage and sure enough he went down to his knees letting me finish him off ahhh the blissful roar of the crowd Karate is like an explosion, not like paint drying!
