Holding back in punchs

[Adidajs]

Put a picture of a baby on a punching bag, hit it repeatedly. It will desensitize you.

better yet: a crippled, blind, and starving african baby.


wow, i hope i never encounter some of you folks in a dark alley. I don't get into fights. I did punch my brother when we were younger in the nose with my fist. His nose bled like a water faucet. never will i punch someone like that again. it scared me what i could do to someone. and that was when i was 12.

Someone said aim for the Arm pits, why and how do you manage that?

you can totally pwn somebodys kidney if you do that. Or one of their lyhmph nodes. or if your really good, a quick finger-jab to the armpit can get you inside there, allowing you to play with the guys internal organs.

Having been in situations where I've been cornered in the street and assaulted, I stand within my rights to know how to hurt someone.

Do remember that there's a chance they'll(or the kid's parents) sue you for assault and battery.

I think I can defend myself in the court of law.

I can see how this got a bit re-railed but I wasn't looking for fighting advice, more like how many people actualy experience something like this...

Probably the adrenaline. Affects people differently. Makes some stronger, others it leaves weaker than normal.

But yours sounds like a mental problem. When your life is truly in danger, the fight or flight will really kick in and you'll know what you're made of. Horsing around with your brothers or even your average street fight won't necessarily make you fear for your life.

If it really concerns you, get a punching bag. Good exercise, relieves stress, and you can practice focusing the power of your punches, so when the time comes it will be instinct to follow through with full force.

As you get older and hairier (puberty), you will become more aggressive because you gain high levels of testosterone.

I used to be like you where I couldn't punch someone. I remember having a couple nightmares where in my dream I was trying to punch someone in a fight to save my life and my punches were in slow motion and I would miss and couldn't actually strike them. It was terrifying and I woke up from the dreams - which is why I remember them.

I know where your coming from.

I couldn't bring myself to hit people either. I wasn't exactly bullied in primary school, just hit alot, I never hit back, I just took it. Meh, don't really know why. These days however I can bring myself to hit, I lash out at people to often.
