    prepare your mind for a fight?
    For me the hardest thing about any fight that I have been in,was to get into the "mode" and it usually takes a few knocks to the head or something before I "wake up" and realise that "o **** this is a fight".
    Its ONLY then that I come out with the aggressive punches,kicks,take downs etc....
    Any help is appreciated:)

    We're taught to use a trigger, which you train in over time (could be a long time?)
    An example could be a particular word, or a few sharp intakes of breath. When training you do the trigger just before getting aggressive (Whether about to spar or on your own), and if you do this long and often enough then your body associates the trigger with the aggression.
    As a fight starts you can then use the trigger to get into an aggressive mindset quickly.
    I haven't trained myself long enough to use a trigger like this yet, so don't have any personal experience. Anyone reading this also train this kind of technique, or used it?

    My son of course prefers just to use his SPD Morpher:rolleyes:

    loads of sparring and then loads more, and so a fight wont seem like anything more than a spar....

    Look at first time fighters they shocking to watch cos they so tense, but the more fights you have the more relaxed you get and the more like sparring it becomes...

    If you really having difficulty read a few books on the greeks and spartans:)

    I know that Team Quest use triggers and centering (apologies for the American spelling but it looks weird the other way).

    I just stay calm myself!

    Actually Clive, i have to say, at the last ROT me and all the guys i was there with were simply amazed by how calm you looked before your fight.

    Truly Zen man. :D

    About my son and his SPD morpher? No I'm serious.:D

    As for the triggers, that's serious too, but I guess its like other people have mentioned - experience - the more you practice something then the more your body gets used to what is going to happen and will behave in the way you want. I'm not suggesting anything strange or mystical here, just more like learning to drive a car? - the longer you use that clutch/gear the smoother and more natural it becomes.

    I didn't mean either that we're trained to be agressive for the whole of a fight, 'cause like that would blow you big time, but for the burst of a few seconds a fight may last (Not talking about 3 rounds in a ring here obviously) then thats one way to bring on some agression.

    I know it's not the only way, but I think it's an option.
