I was expecting something very different than what happened on the video. I was figuring some zen message or great advice from an actor. Much to simple, go gamble.

Pat – Yep I read Dale C a lot. Self fulfilling prophecy.

Dr J! Yep the true battle is with ones self.

Tiger! It sounds like you are now truly enlightened!

Matt – Yes! As much with knowing you win or lose on your own merits – it fosters the right fighting spirit!

Thanks Gentlemen for your sage insights!

I believe the secret is controlled aggression, just like any sport–even in a street fight. I have seen a lot of guys fight blindly with rage. They usually lose. You need to be detached and pick your opponent apart with skill and cunning. Explode with power but with control and it does not matter who you are facing.

This post cannot be a coincidence.
I have been diving deeper and deeper
into this topic. Especially because
I have been playing more tennis lately.
Applied some affirmations and getting in
the zone during a match yesterday and
my partner and I won 6-0, 6-0. Incredible.
This might sound familiar: Had I known
then, what I know now… I would have won
many more karate fights.
But heck, you live and learn.
Thanks for the great post.

Your post reminds me of a tennis opponent of mine who always said, “I gave it away.” when beaten

Seriously John, I won my share of fights, and certainly was beaten enough as I gained skills with training. For me, learning that the true battle was with myself was where I felt I had the most success.

Now as a surgeon, I always went into battle knowing that I would win, and in that arena, I’m grateful that, so far, I always have.

What is that saying. Whether you think you can, or think you can't, your right. Is that by Dale Carnegie? Good insight. .-= pat´s last blog ..Self Defense Training updated Sun Mar 7 2010 6:16 pm CST =-.
