I've got a horrible bastard side. I get to let it go every time I go in the gym.
Boxing definitely has a part to play in taking away unwanted aggression.
Wayde yelled, and I hit him again, adrenaline pulling a scream of outrage from me. He went quiet, and I held my breath to make sure I could hear him breathing. I suppose I could have used my magic on him, but this was a lot more satisfying.
Football is, after all, a wonderful way to get rid of your aggressions without going to jail for it.
Why has slamming a ball with a racquet become so obsessive a pleasure for so many of us? It seems clear to me that a primary attraction of the sport is the opportunity it gives to release aggression physically without being arrested for felonious assault.
The MMA stuff has been really good, I'm enjoying that. To be able to work with Jay Glazer, he's a total meathead, he loves all that stuff. I hit him as hard as I can and he's like 'Yeah!' It's been fun for me to release that anger without putting pads on.
People feel better because Donald Trump says all kinds of things no one else would say and we get certain tendencies out of our system. So if attacking immigrants, say, is a substitute for doing something worse, there's at least a scenario under which that's a better alternative than something else that might have happened.
There's a lot of rage... you have to express it somehow. If I didn't express it in song, I'd become incredibly violent.
I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don't get bored.
Through baseball we channel boys desire for exercise and let off their explosive violence without letting them get into the police court.
Murderers have usually killed the one person in the world that was bugging them and they're usually quite peaceful and agreeable.
If you want to release your aggression, get up and dance. That's what rock and roll is all about.
I really like battle ropes. They're so versatile; you can get a terrific workout doing a ton of different exercises with them. My clients like them because they're a good way to get aggression out, too. Had a bad day? Take it out on the ropes!
