How to deal with an extremely aggressive/strong opponent?
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2017 12:44 pm
I'm curious on the community opinion on how to deal with a very aggressive opponent or individual in a fight or in sparring. I'm not naturally a very aggressive person but I want to be able to deal with people who are very aggressive and strong. Is the best way to match their aggression/intent?
The only thing that's worked for me so far is to match their intent. If they're coming at you with the intent to "take you out" I have to turn on the intensity and ferocity but it doesn't feel very nice or "zen".. albeit I enjoy the sensation. I have to go for ending it as quickly as possible to contain what they might do to me but i'm not sure If it's healthy to break someones arm or choke them unconscious.
Feels like he's just going to walk out or move on to someone who he knows he can dominate and hurt and take out his frustration on him/her. (Saw this happen first hand.)
Some of my buddies made comments like "you have to beat it out of them" agree, disagree?
