G95champ Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Nope I can't kick that high. LOL. Anger is the greatest evil we must overcome. Listen to Yoda from Star Wars talk about the force that is where I get a lot of my info for how to control myself. Yeah Im a star wars geek. (General George S.

SaiFightsMS Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 The rage should be channeled. Preferably into training. This is where traditional training philosophy differs from more modern training. In striving for perfection of character. The longer we train the better we should become at channeling the rage. And maybe one day even not having the rage.

TKD_McGee Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I don't think you should fight with rage, even though you don't feel pain you also loose all concentration.. Its best to remain calm and make sure you do your best in tournaments. You can't fly out and do the flying arms windmill attack in a tournament.... Do unto others, as they done to you.

Ai Hate Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 i don't know why, but when fighting in a match, my head is always so empty.. no stress, no pressure, no nothing.. not even attacking moves anyway, after the match, when i (always) lose, i'm usually mad at myself, and i vent it in training.. or maybe just punch the wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anger shows weakness of character. YOU choose to get angry. No one can hurt you unless YOU give them permission. YOU have the choice to decide whether to get angry, or seek a more rational and efficient solution. Do not blame external things for your situation, they do not help your case. In your case, you lost a fight. Not really, take it as a learning experience and improve on it so the same thing doesn't happen. Look on failure as the building blocks to success and you will feel more complete as a person as well becoming more successful at what you're in pursuit of. _________________ It takes sacrifice to be the best.
