You practice martial arts, you know what to do in order to protect yourself, still, you might put your life is in danger unless you control your emotions. It feels like you can do anything when you get angry. Sometimes people say, "don't make me angry." So do you get some kind of superpower when you get angry?
What happens during the state of anger?
Your heartbeat gets speed up. Your muscles and jaw might feel tight. You usually start breathing quickly. People start screaming and shouting.
Some people might get scared to see your anger. But when you are angry, you cannot think clearly. You are not fully aware of the situation. You might overlook some signals that indicate the obvious danger. You underestimate your opponent. And that's a big mistake in a fight for self defense.
The thing is, if you are not able to control your emotions, you cannot control your action. Self defense is not all about fighting. You need to take action not to get into the fight. And find a way to avoid the confrontation.
You feel like you can do anything. That can be your weakness. And it might make you vulnerable. You are not observing the surroundings and changing the behavior of the attackers. You might put your life at risk.
Sometimes we do something due to anger and later we regret that. You realize that you should not have done it.
It is difficult to control anger but you need to keep it under control so that you can do what needs to be done in order to defend yourself. The situation can change any moment, so sometimes you have to strike and sometimes you need to step back. If you are angry and driven by ego, you will do more harm to yourself.
So what do you think about anger? Does it help for self defense or it puts your life in danger? Please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section. I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you so much for reading this post. Stay safe. Always be happy!
