Hopefully that link works. There this is going to get weird.

I really don't know if yelling about ultraviolence really puts people in a frame of mind to fight under stress.

I have done that training and I don't think it is reflective of a real fight unless I was winning. Which isn't the important part i should be training for.

Competitive fighters don't do that. And instead train mentally to calm their emotions. Not heighten them.

But it is a super common method for training for self defence.

Yeah, I sorta get what he may be hinting at just from the snippet, to overwhelm their will to continue by being super over the top violent, but yeah it'd probably get things out of control, and yourself out of control whipping you up into a frenzy (which could lead to some long-term horrific consequences). Relying on emotion is too well.. unreliable. Controlled aggression/assertiveness makes more sense

The issue I have is I am the toughest dog on the street untill I get scared or hurt. And then suddenly that confidence disappears and I have to rely on something else.

And in self defence i have to do that fast.

I see that with a lot of street fighter vs pro videos. The street fighters have no dog in them. And they get placed in a position of hardship and give up.

Would you summarise what the link says for those of us who refuse to use FB because of their unethical practises and encouragement of informational chaos?
