What's your techniques in getting into a WAR MODE state???

[dominickoy]

HELP!!!! sa mga fighters dyan share nyo naman ang mga techniques nyo para maging WAR MODE kayo during competitions...

>> I think i'm loosing my killers instinct!!! = masyado na akong nagiging mabait sa mga ka roll or spar ko... is this the effect of getting old?? ?? , hindi tulad nung teenager pa ako na there is so much anger inside of me that i want to release!!! hehe

gusto ko sana subukan ulet sumali sa mga competitions.... thanks...

You shouldn't be angry in competitions anyway. The guy in the ring with you is not your enemy, but your friend. He is there to help you complete your training, testing out your game for strengths and weaknesses, paving way for self-discovery. That's why fighter's hug after a bout. They share an experience unlike any other, and they feel closer than ever now.

I don't know. That's what I think.

^^ hehe, i don't use anger in competitions... i respect my opponents... kaso nga lang sobrang respect na yata sa mga ka roll or spar ko na mas gugugstuhin ko pa na ako ang masaktan kaysa sila ang masaktan( MACHISMO)

i mean how do you condition your mind before competing???

>> a friend of mind uses the imagine you're enemy as one of the vikings trying to kill and rape youre people in the village and youre the only one who can save them... hehe that's crazy!!! pero effective yun para sa kanya... pero tingin ko hindi eeepekto sakin yun.. natatawa lang ako pag inisip ko yun. hehe!!

I agree. When I spar/compete, I always keep my mind cool. That way, hindi ka bara-bara lalaban. After the fight, I always thank the other player for the experience and praise his performance. It doesn't mean though that magiging mabait ako sa other player because I will try to use all the techniques I know. Which reminds me when I competed in arnis a few years ago... I always thought that blocking a strike by hitting the other stick is useless so I always block an incoming strike by hitting his hand or arm. After the fight, he approached me and thanked me for the opportunity and I did as well, and he showed me his hands with crooked fingers and swelling arms. I apologized and we both laughed about it... and I don't even know the guy. My point is... in sparring and competitions, hindi ko pini-personal and I don't use the "war mode" and "anger release" approach. In my opinion, parang street brawler's approach yan eh.

Which reminded me also of another fighter nung nag lineup kami to give respect to the masters. Hindi namamansin and was perhaps in his own "war-mode". I heard him murmuring "no pain, no glory... no pain, no glory..." and I thought, what is wrong with this guy. I wanted to tell him to loosen up.

yung killer instinct to finish fights... i don't know, pero i think parang nawala na eh aftar a looooooooong lay off sa training....

for example: i was winning a fight but i can not finish it... instead of delivering the killer blow, pinapabayaan ko na lang hangang sa matapos yung time.. i know i can finish it!!, pero sabi ng consensya ko na pabayaan ko na lang daw nananalo na naman ako eh. heheh

@ littlebadoy = thanks, I'll keep that in mind...

and guys don't take the WAR MODE state too seriously ; mali yata ako ng pag kakasabi... ang ibig kong sabihin eh how do you condition your mind before competing??? and how to bring back that killer instict... thanks...

I remember eating a big pack of chicharon after a while I was getting pissed at the smallest thing... lolz

I never had your so-called "killer instinct." I just calmed my nerves, got in there, and took care of business. I got carried away exactly twice in four years, and that's for knocking people out.
