If the account werent suspended I would negative rep this. The Nazzis listened to classical and they were pretty aggressive. Metalica is not an aggression key!!! sighHi stop listening to wham (Last Christmas) and try something a little bit harder like Metallica. Start conditioning your body, hit the heavy bag hard and hand pads harder. Condtion your body and mind for impact, with the trusty medicine ball. Practice saying NO!!!, a harder body makes a harder Mind. get to the gym and push some heavy weights with a partner once a week ,run up stairs till you cant go another step. Push your mind thru the fear barrier and soar like the eagle that u are!!!!
I'm not sure about tkd but if you where to marry my ex I bet it would help out greatly.
Thinking about the question further, I will say-You don't. It's something you are born with, or prone to. Sure, you could "develop it" through training. However, when it comes down to it, and real pressure is on, people revert to who they are. If you're passive, you're passive. It's not a bad thing. We are all who we are, nothing wrong with it. Trying to be aggrssive facing one who is naturally (type A personalities) won't work. We all read who is what when we meet them.
O.k.
However, if dealing for real outside of the dojo and away from dojo experimentation, don't try to "front" too much-Trust ME on this!
Sure, it's a different world. But the outside skills, reactions and confidence have to start somewhere, and that's in training. If you want a real world example of what I'm talking about, look at any competent military. They turn normal people into killers. Not to get political or beat around the bush, but that's a job central to soldiering. It can certainly be necessary.
Is the first time in a fight (or a battle, or whatever) terrifying? Yup. Absolutely. I don't think it ever becomes something people are comfortable with. But that training can and will take over. You just have to work hard at changing the default reaction of someone from "shrink in terror" to "wristlock" or "pull trigger" or whatever. It's not easy, but it can be done, and it happens all the time.
You're all correct. however, you've changed the argument. The last examples posted are actions taken in self defense. That is a response to aggressiveness. I never claimed anyone wouldn't take actions (what you are arguing as aggressive) to fight back against a perceived threat. However, aggressiveness is another argument. You might get mean if hit or grabbed. You'll attempt the wristlock, shoot, etc.. But, it's a whole nother thing to just shoot, or punch someone in the face. If it's not in you, then it's not you. You can't train for that. Sure, with training, people get confidence. But, how far does the "aggressively trained" person get when they are at odds in an aggressive match with one who is of that personality naturally? Not very far!
I think I see what you mean here, but I think that this, too, can be trained. It's not as pretty, but it can be done.
Personalities aren't set in stone. Surely you must know someone who has changed their personality, either because of very large events in their lives, or just gradually over time?
