Fighting Spirit: Something you're born with, or learned?


Recommended Posts

Well i agree with everything that has been said so far, it all rings bells with me.

I have never been a fighter, never been very good at it. I am only average now but i can hold my own i think. The more you practise it the better you get, i have to do more in this field for my black belt grading next year.

Many good points brought up.

IMO, Fighting spirit is that determination some people have to never give up, always win, etc. This is both natural AND train-able. A great article on this can be found by google-ing "Fighting Spirit by Isao Inokuma" (it should be the first hit).

Killer instinct is different, like others said. I think it's more of a subconcious ability to see an opening, sense a weakness, and then exploit it without making concious efforts to do so. Also, it's an instinct and willingness to bite, claw, gouge, maim. Destroying the oppenent by whatever means possible.
