The Weakness of an ANGRY Fighter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- The Weakness of An Angry Fighter is in their inability to think clearly and to maintain charge of their emotional faculties. While rage and anger can be very useful in a fight, it can also ensure your defeat. Against the untrained person, anger can overwhelm and rob the adversary of their will to fight, but against a determined enemy with training, your furious rage can be a recipe for disaster. In a contest between skilled fighters, the one to lose their cool first is oftentimes the loser.
Our desire as good protectors is to be able to use rage while still being able to think and while being able to maintain our overall emotional cool. Be a fire breathing dragon on the inside, but let your demeanor be all business. Develop a switch that only you can throw so that you remain in charge of your emotions and mind. Members of the Military, cops, contractors, and responsible armed civilians need to understand how rage works and what the strengths and weaknesses are to their anger so that they might be able to win in whatever fight they may find themselves in. Police officers especially must be able to have sober judgment at all times so they can understand the legal applications from moment to moment in any given situation and to understand liability factors - and all this must be understood before, during, and after any violent encounter.
How can we ensure we can control our rage and harness its strength without being carried away into becoming thoughtless, dumb, animals? We must develop a high degree of emotional maturity which is reinforced by a strength of character and solid relationships. If we want to control our anger, these handholds are sometimes the only thing that can keep us grounded so we can calculate and use good judgment.

Use your rage as a tool or Rage makes you the tool.

Maybe it makes you a tool but for someone who actually can control their rage and use it as an advantage like the whole can it makes them an unstoppable bulldozer

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

+J0Gu7 awesome
thank you
Very true. God throughout the Bible has constantly warns us about anger.
Awesome 👏 thx 🙏 friend
You just pulled the pin on a big ole wisdom grenade... carry on my brother.
thanks my friend
THIS IS A GREAT TEACHING/ADVICE! STOP MAKIMG ME TAKE A HARDER LOOK AT MYSELF. YOU DAMN WARRIOR POET!
+Captain Chaos Hahahaha - i will have some shooting and gear stuff up soon
John Lovell
I'm not a shooting expert or gear expert. But these videos are far more valuable to me then the aforementioned items. I love the history (even though I do not know it very well) of the warrior poet specially when it is in reference to the Bible. Keep up the good work. I thank you for your service and time and effort on educating Ol' dogs like myself.
"Be slow to anger."
Only time I get rage like that is when California passes another gun control law.
+Revelation 1:3 Who in the world can fault you for that?!?!
John Lovell this really helps a lot actually. I'm going through a situation right now where this guy just pushes me to my "emotional limits" if you will. I get very angry and the heart rate just shoots up. Any tips on how to control that?
Breathing is key anytime the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) takes over. Studies have shown controlled deep breathing under stress slows your heart rate,, lowers your blood pressure and increases your cerebral faculties without diminishing the positive effects of epinephrine or norepinephrine needed to increase reflex and reaction times. Learning to control your breathing will help you control your bodies visceral responses.
Revelation 1:3 I live in Canada so I know how you feel, it gets frustrating when your government decides when and how you are able to defend yourself! There are so many gun regulations here in Canada for responsible gun owners but the government doesn't realize that the criminals that prey on innocent people don't follow the rules that responsible gun owners do.
SERENITY NOW!
The thing to take solace in is that we have all the power. Any time we decide it is "too much" we can simply not follow the illegal gun laws and no one can stop us. That is the essence of 2A. It is not defended or taken away by the government, but by our own individual determination to choose freedom or perceived security.
a smart man once told me "Kill with your heart, aim with your Eye" meaning your heart is whats firing your weapon and your eye is doing the sighting not the optic... helps me all the time hope it helps you John Lovell!!!
Ahhhhh! The wisdom... Yes John, just let it flow.
+Blake Patterson haha
★★★★★.....Reminds me of a quote from the Art of War....."One who sets the entire army in motion to chase an advantage will not attain it."
i have yet to see a video by you that wasn't great. its refreshing to hear a man of character... keep walking right brother.
+Dustin Riness thanks Dustin
THIS WAS A GREAT FREAKING VIDEO!
YOU'RE RIGHT. NOW HOW THE HELL DO I TURN MY CAPS LOCK OFF?!
Operating under extreme adrenaline seems an art...
Great stuff to control your emotions. I’m 67 and have bad knees so I can’t run and gun. Many of the tactics you teach are useful to someone like me! I’m a veteran and so I have a skill set that gives me an edge in most circumstances. I don’t anger quickly and haven’t yet mastered the rage switch, but I’m working on it. The one thing that angers me most is someone who wants to hurt those I love, friends and family! Great content as always, CAPS ARE HIGHLY OVERRATED! ;)
Thank you for this, John. It speaks to my heart.
You are absolutely professing the real world.
Much appreciated.
In a world scarce of real male role models and mentors I am grateful to have found your channel. Keep up the great work, I learn so much!
I'll apply this to my keyboard warrior training
bitch what do you think you're hitting with a stance like that
CircaSriYak lmao you fucking destroyed him. Do me bitch
why the fuck do you have a giant jeep. your mom still won't fit in there lmao
HAHAHAH!
"stay focused my son, the path to true enlightenment comes only through unwavering focus to the ancient art of Q W E R T Y!"
I remember all too well the angry young man that once lived inside of me. He controlled me and those around me with fear and rage. I used to think that I was a tough guy and that anyone who pissed me off "had it coming". Then I spent some time over seas in a small desert town North and East of Aleppo. It was in this small village that I found out what a tough guy really looked like. I faced things and people like I had never seen and honestly do not wish to ever face again. I learned that the problems that caused my rage were not really that important in the grand scheme of things. I learned that what was truly important in life was something that I had no control of at all. Mr Lovell, thank you for opening up to us and just being yourself. This is such a wonderful thing you are doing here.
Excellent video! I feel that most can relate to this and not just from a fighting aspect. I'm fairly new to your videos but now have been subscribed to your channel for a couple of months. I have some real life experiences that fit in really well with this episode. I played hockey my entire life and realized very quickly that I was not as skilled as other players on my teams. I was always strong and had good athletic ability; my coaches noticed this and started having me fight during the games. In most cases I was able to win solely by relying on my strength. My first fight I lost I was knocked unconscious, it was the first opponent I faced that was equally, if not stronger than me. I learned that you must be able to use your mind when put under stressful situations, there will always be somebody out there that's bigger and stronger than you. If you're able to think under stress it can give you a slight advantage which may be all that you need to win the fight. Great video!
thank you, this helped me with a similar situation I'm going through as your friend was. nice to see a brother in christ sharing his love, respect and faith while enjoying guns and defense.
I could not agree more! I have seen it a lot on the streets. I have seen other officer's emotions take over in a situation. You must be able to bottle your emotions and make decisions in the heat of the moment. When everything has cooled down. Then you can let your emotions out.
Great video!!!
This was a great reminder that one who is quick to anger is quick to shed blood.
Often, their own.
Great points! One who cannot control his emotions will be controlled by everything around him.
always nice to listen to intelligent conversation keep them coming
GOOD ADVICE! THANKS! In your anger, do not sin...
John dropping truth bombs. I'd like to add, that age does NOT necessarily correlate with maturity and control of emotions. I love that John points out that if you're easily angered, you're easily controlled -by anyone.
I really like the concept of finding rage through love when rage is needed. When actions are taken through anger they are very often not thought through.
So glad I found this..I struggled today and blew up if front a coworker and my fiancé about work related crap that shouldn't have set me off..Afterwards I was really pissed that I allowed work to anger me in that way..and that used the language I did in front of the ladies. Claimed down cleared my head and fixed the issue.
As I've gotten older, and become a family man, a patriarchal figure, these are ideologies that I recite to myself regularly. Watching this video, it was as if I was having the conversation in the mirror, with the added benefit of not actually talking to myself in the mirror... Good video, TY
John, you asked for it! so I'm going to give it you in all CAPS. YOU'RE THE BEST! I get so much from your videos. Thanks so much. God bless
I'm enlisting in the army currently, going into signals and once I've learned that trade (as a fallback), I will enlist in Special Forces. Right now, I'm working part time as an education assistant at the school I graduated from, with the 12-13 year old students. I have to say, I find that I am becoming increasingly more and more in control of my emotions working in such an environment. When I do get a spike of anger (which is rare anyway), I box it away to the side and immediately try to determine a way to diffuse whatever situation. I'd 100% recommend working in a high school to anybody hoping to gain better mediatory skills and emotional control. I'll definitely take your advice (specifically the anger button that nobody can press) into account in the future, John, great vid.
When your enemy is of choleric temperature, irritate him.
thank you for posting this i realize its old but i sent this to my whole team some of us needed to hear it
Great Video. i have wrested and fought since i was a young boy, and one thing my coaches told me was when you fight angry you get stupid. What you said is so true. we have to be emotionally mature and be able to keep our cool in every situation.
Videos like this don't give most of us new information... but this video is excellent to remind us of what is important!
YOU MAKE SENSE! I ENJOYED THE VIDEO. I NEVER GOT INTO IT WITH ANYONE WHO WAS PISSED BECAUSE I KNOW THEY AREN'T THINKING STRAIGHT
So Dirty Harry true.......have to keep your cool or you will get schooled.......no matter how good YOU THINK you are....... Keep up the awesome messages and thanks again for all your help👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wish at times that I could interact with you on subjects that you discuss. I can tell you are a man of character. Circumstance does not allow me to hear one speak often. It can be difficult. I related keenly to your statement about grounding. In any case, I'm glad to hear voices like yours contributing. There is so much misinformation out there that will make a man unhappy, unhealthy, and weak that is generally accepted. The internet needs its Lovell. The world needs voices In opposition.
As always, well spoken, thought out and presented. However, I think an important factor to point out is that just because someone is in a rage does not give you the upper hand. Many factors will play in to effect of the average wo/man when in any kind of defensive situation no matter what level of training. But when a person/threat can be most dangerous is when they are unpredictable, and can very well be unpredictable to a greater magnitude when in that rage state. None the less I, as you, maintain that retaining your a composure in any defensive or offensive situation would be critical to the outcome of your survival.
VERY TRUE! I COMPLETELY AGREE. I AM NOT ANGRY RIGHT NOW.
I feel like this is something that sort of comes with age. I was very quick as a teen and then into my twenties and really even earlier thirties to just flip out and go completely off the rails. Somewhere along the way you begin to realize that blind rage doesn't do anything other than create more problems. It's a very ugly thing that No one really comes out on top of. Thanks for the really great message. I only wish that I had the ability to understand this when I was younger. On the other hand, I think I'm able to much more effectively guide my son in what NOT to do, to be a better all around man because of the way I was when I was younger.
I've noticed that seeing a satisfying outcome tends to ease rage. Ironic since our vision, literal and moral, is one of the first things to go when rage kicks in.
Great vid and great reminder.
I have always been a Loner, I am Agnostic, But I am grounded in Reality.
I know my surroundings, and understand human nature.... I am watching, and always learning and adapting.....
My Grandmother told me to, "Be Aware, Be Kind, Speak Softly, But carry a Big Stick"...
this is probably the best channel I'm subscribed to, thanks John!
+Brandyn Thomas no sweat brother!
Gear videos are cool and all but these videos are worth more than gold. Thanks for another great video!
There's truth in your reasons behind blind rage,John...I witnessed it many years ago when my (younger&smaller sized brother) used to work @ a bar in the city here.Guys would often tell him they'd "kick the shit outta him"... Before the guy knew it, my brother would be showing them the wrong side of the door or knuckles along with an attitude adjustment. It surprised me because these guys seemed to be in shock when it happened but the bro could "hit that switch". You're right about self control.//God Speed to you John//T.D.
CONTROLLED ANGER!! NICE!! IT REMINDS ME OF LIFTING WEIGHTS.. IT ALSO TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CONTROLLED RAGE TO SQUAT 600 lbs ON YOUR BACK!! LOVE THE VIDS KEEP EM COMING!
The guy who taught me how to box was a rage fighter at times, and even when I started out it was easy to tell a difference in his fighting and be able to deal with the dead end offense he was giving. Thanks John great video!
True words! Well said young man.
Nothing but truth in this video, loved it! Definitely subscribing
A timely video.I was recently in a fender bender; not hurt and the damage is minor. The guy that cut me off and hit me denied any wrong doing and just took off, all while on his cellphone the entire time!It was his denial of responsibility that so angered and enraged me that I was physically shaking! Fortunately, I was able to cool off in few minutes before the cops arrived and I could give them the tag number, a description of the vehicle and driver.Your right about not being able to think straight when enraged, I wouldn't been able to string together a simple sentence.I guess it's a good thing that guy took off without getting out of his truck; it would have made minor situation much worse.Lesson learned.Thanks
Having your own anger button that only you can push- reminds me of a quote from Aristotle; Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
This was good for me to hear. I am afraid I fall into too many of your talking points and examples. Been struggling with this for as long as I remember. The good Lord has brought me a long way, but I still have a long ways to go. Thanks for the video.
Training and preparation are absolutely paramount. But violence and action rule the day.
Sage advice from someone who has walked in the fire. Thank you, John. Respect.
Prozac works for me.
+Shane K hahaha
Great vid. Thanks for the truth.
So true! I try my best to stay super relaxed when I spar
Excellent post. Fortunately I had good teachers and mentors in combative arts that trained me, and showed me first hand what happens when you let rage take the lead. I also believe there's a difference between anger, and rage. Anger can help you have the fortitude to pursue the enemy in adverse conditions. Rage gets you dead, or worse, wounded and defeated.
Very, very wise words, my friend!
Ive been a corrections officer for 10 years and my mantra is. Always keep it light until its time to fight. There is nothing more important than being able to turn that switch on and off as needed. But keeping ur head during a fight comes more with age than anything else.
Arguably the best channel on RUclips for philosophy I love the knowledge you share with us thank you for your take on it all
And this is why bullies taunt their victims, and fighters trash talk.
Really good video John. A lot of good points to walk away with.
Thank you, it is certainly something to ponder that I haven't before
The greatest lovers make the greatest fighters -- not the other way around.
Your videos help me more than anything on You Tube. Thanks again!
So true about relationships. Thanks so much for the consistency awesome content.
I feel like people who have endured through suffering and found meaning for themselves offer so much insight to the blind spots modern life manifests; especially as men, where being a warrior isn't an option.
I am very glad to have stumbled on your channel, and you have another sub.
John this is 100% true.. When I was younger I got into a lot of fights because I was always the big kid and everybody wanted to prove themselves. With that said I used to Box and Kickbox and one thing I never did is get Mad whenever I had to defend myself and fight and I always won. I knew everything I was doing at every moment and 90% of the time the other guys was enraged and just flailing around..
Well said brother....but yes there is always a calm before the storm
3 things most people fear
Sound
Darkness
And the rage of a kind man
A hard thing to accomplish! Thanks for the lesson.
No sucky sucky here! Great wisdom put forth! Be the balanced man!
like a wise blind man once said "Force is meaningless without skill"
I believe all of us can lose their emotional maturity at times. I know I need to catch myself at times. What you are saying is the truth.
well said! I look back when I was younger and how childish I was with my temper. with the lack of patience and not being more calmer in situations. the older I get the more I learn about how to handle things. even though at times I still get upset I try to control it better. we all have our problems it's how we handle it that makes up stronger and how we learn from our mistakes. take care
JOHN, THIS WAS A REALLY GREAT VIDEO. :)
In all seriousness, your videos help me soul search, and I realized how much I let anger rule me. They really help in both my relationship with God, and my relationship with others. Thank you.
Just came across your channel tonight. You might be one of my new favorite dudes.
Great video to listen and then reflect. Thanks John
Great video, my friend.
+The Sheepdog Defense Project thanks brother
Very true and solid. I come from a fighting family (grew up in martial arts) and I've seen this exact same thing. Rage goes up, reasoning goes down. Couldn't agree more. God bless
This definitely put words to how I shape my mindset in BJJ and other martial arts. I will never fight angry even when people try to push to fight angry. I always find my zen zone and approach an opponent in a very calm and collected manner, however I do it in an aggressive and athletic way. That is why I always hated the guys who would get super emotional with the tide of a football game when I played and its like stop being stressed over what you cant control and focus on what you can do better.
Great, great, great, video! So well articulated! Thank you!
thanks David!
Great video John! Makes complete sense. I personally like being a Lil enraged. Just bcuz I feel it gives more determination to come out on top. I mean if we're talking fist fights/boxing. Being shot at or seeing someone as a lethal threat is enough in that aspect especially being a father! Rock on man! FYI you're the very first person I've ever supported via patreon! U have so much experience, real world experience and that is what made me like ur channel. In the fact that u actually reply! Looking forward to buying some apperal and Steel targets...
great topic. for me,a timely reminder.
Good post sir! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent, John! We've come to expect nothing less from you.
My rage took over in 1974 when I ran out of ammo in a gunfight w/a guy who just shot another cop right in front of me. As the bad guy was belly crawling toward a third officer I got so angry I charged him from behind and took him out w/my blackjack. Fight over, good guys (the cops) win. Your on point here.
great video ! thank you for the advice brother . God bless
This has quickly become one of my favorite channels. Keep the good content coming man🖒
Gotta keep that in check. My grandfather saw a lot of combat in WW2. He always said "keep a cool head." You cross that line into the red fog and your goose is cooked.
Old video but this one is why I am subscribing. I can relate a little too well to this. I'm trying to make more friends, never had a best friend so that would be nice to have someone to vent to.
Well. I started out interested on learning about night vision on a completely different website. 30 minutes later I end up here ha. This is the first video of yours I've seen and... I'm IN! You have one more subscriber. Great vid!
A GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS AND A LOT OF GOOD POINTS.
bumping heads with someone on my squad. this couldnt of came at a better time for me man.
Same man
I used to have such a massive temper back when I's a kid. Couldn't control it for years and years.
A good video, your right and make fantastic points.
From (self) experience its also comes down to your self admittance that you have a rage issue, a good starter point.
“Use the force Luke!”
Great video!
something that helps me is when I feel it coming, I take an emotional step back and realize that it isn't time and I suppress it until I get home and hit the bag or I get over it, especially if it was just a dumb driver on the road and I try to open why I'm feeling this way that way I can make sense of it and to make sure its rational.
A brazilian YT channel "Tradutores de Direita" (Right Wing Translators) translated some of your videos.
Here in Brazil an extensive gun control is ruling. I dont have a gun, only a couple knifes and a basebal bat, that's my home defense.
The guns are a secondary thing in your videos, it is more a way of live, bringing wisdom. Thanks for it, keep it up, and God bless ya!
