control

so every time i talk to someone about my training for my bb, any 9 times out of 10, people say, "i'll remember not to piss you off then" with a laugh. which really, it's not bad, and i laugh with them.

but then, i got to thinking. maybe someone with training like ours might be better to piss off. why? well, if you think about it, we constantly, especially these last few months, have been training realism. with that kind of training, we try to get the adrenaline running. same can be said for the FAST defense that we did a while back.

during this training, we learn to control our emotions and actions. and should push ever come to shove, we've been told over and over (from the very beginning as white belts) that kicks and punches should only be used if absolutely necessary and stop once the threat is neutralized.

generally speaking, not many people have had training like that. so i wonder, maybe we martial artists are possibly the better choice to upset simply cause we've been trained to use words before punches and kicks.

just a thought.
