Hitting the heavy bag

    Hi a few years ago I did some boxing for about 6 months.
    I was starting to understand it, but I realize I have a lot to learn.
    One day I was coming in from work and was angry with a boss
    and I took it out on the heavy bag and the trainers smiled
    because I was hitting the bag hard. I was wondering
    when shadow boxing or hitting the punch bag do you
    get angry, or what's your motivation when training?
    My trainer also mentioned think about those who said
    you wouldn't make it and use that as motivation.
    I was wondering is there a spiritual element when training?

    I don't get angry when training. I also don't think its conducive to good technique either.
    Sometime new guys will get angry when sparring or whatever. But it's not something that I'd like to see encouraged tbh.

    FWIW I'd differentiate between letting frustrations out on a heavy bag, and unleashing your temper on it.
