I guess you only read the first post.

I think that may be the best way to go. Only thing is I'll need to find sparring partners who arent afraid of an angry old man instead of a kid.

I did, then went back and was too lazy to retract what I said.

I sparred for the first time yesterday, and Im not going to lie i was getting really mad but i kept it under check but it just sucked cause it was my first time and i wasnt going full speed and my partner was and i wasnt ready for it, but i guess you just have to get use to it and keep you anger under control and it just fuels you to want to land a good punch and then the anger is on him

General rule bro. If they say, "Let's go easy." They will attempt to kill you. If they say let's work, that's usually what they mean, they just want to work on certain techniques and whatnot. That's cool of you, but whenever the other guy "Oops" you "oops" right back.

I'm always the nice guy when I spar, but when people take advantage they are liable to get knocked out. That's mostly why I only spar with people I can trust to let me work, and that won't get carried away.

I appreciate the 'oops' bit, I used to spar with my best friend alot and he gives everything 100% and I hold back but we had a few too many 'oops' and put him on his ass and gave him the look...

Pain being reduced, faster responses, etc. Basically an adrenaline dump. As long as you can keep you head in such a situation, you'll be fine. How? Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, and more Practice.

As long as you stay out of control of your actions, you'll never be at your best. I'm sure you know this, but I have a reason for bringing it up.

Your no mind/blank mindset seems more survival based and not retaliatory. That said, the auto-pilot reaction is a great way to get stomped and put out even faster than keeping your cool and being in control of the situation. A human's natural weapon is his mind. Going on auto in a situation like this is akin to fighting with a stick in a fire fight.

This "nobody can hurt me", "I don't feel pain", "eliminate the enemy" talk makes me wonder if you've ever been humbled. I mean put in positions where no matter what you did, you were outclassed. When this happens, you'll realize your best bet isn't going feral, but doing the exact opposite and controlling the situation.

Also, realize what your doing at the moment. You're not in a survival situation. Street-fighting requires a completely different mindset. MMA != Street-fighting. You should be either sparring or competing. Not trying to off someone. That said, there is no need for such a reaction at anytime. If your getting tooled, either suck it up or walk away and train with someone else who's willing to train, instead of stroking their ego.

Personally, I think aggression is over-rated. I perform better calm and collected, not "angry" like my old football coaches used to spew. I know when to take care of business and when to avoid stupid situations.

Hope this helps.

Wow, well said... But I think dude was kinda bullshiting... I mean what is with the melodrama - I attack my enemy with reckless fury, I destroy him, demons well up in my soul... It's like get the ...nuf... outta here.

Oh yeah, I have lost my temper a couple of times in jits and sparring... but only against people better than me... and upon recieving my ass wooping, I asked questions about my mistakes. Maybe you should go demonic against the best in your gym. I am sure they can handle it.
