Shotokan-kez Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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. Walk away and your always a winner. https://www.shikata-shotokan.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasutsune Makoto Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 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.
