In MMA competition, is it better to be calm or angry?
I've trained for years, long enough to know that the right attitude and frame of mind can make a tremendous difference when fighting.
I've finally got the opportunity to compete and I was hoping someone out there with a little experience could offer some insight.
Which is more advantageous: getting angry and hyped, or staying focused and calm?
Grazie!
Good way to burn your gas tank out too. Send it happen a million times by now.
Gareth has a good point.
It is ok to feel these emotions. They are a part of you as a human. What is important is how you handle them and channel them. Create an atmosphere or situation before your competition that promotes the state you want to be in. Retired fighter Bas Rutten always stayed comepletely calm before and mostly during his fights. He meditated, breathed, and if anyone was trying to hype him up or get him angry like "TEAR HIS HEAD OFF BAS!!!" the guy was out of the room.
ok I'm going a bit too deep here, but I hope you understand. Learn from your experience and the experience of others.
