Your body releases a natural endorphin when you're fighting. You don't feel pain.
When a guy knocks ya down, never get up unless he's gonna kill ya.
There are four things that make a man fight as you just did," the duke explained to Rumbold. "Love, despair, anger, or insanity." Erik counted them off on his fingers. "Everything to lose, nothing to lose, someone's taken it, or you've lost it.
I'm not starting any fights. I might finish one though.
It was not well to drive men into final corners; at those moments they could all develop teeth and claws.
Fear makes you do stupid things.
I've seen the worst. In my head, I've seen the worst. When I go into a fight, I'm all right. You know what I'm saying? I've already made it.
In the build-up to a fight, I am scared, and I do worry about myself. But once I step into that arena, that worry has gone. A switch gets flicked, and I want to do damage. All I care about is doing damage as fast as possible.
I will not try to escape fights if someone tries to poke or trigger me.
I don't remember myself to be a forefront fighter, but when pushed to a point with a wall behind me, there is only one way forward. Later you can call it a Rambo syndrome, but I never regret it, as it comes naturally to me, and in my mind, that is the only way.
Will the slave fight? If any man asks you, tell him No. But if anyone asks you will a Negro fight, tell him Yes!
I've never hit anybody who hasn't clocked me two or three times.
The purpose of fear, clearly, is to help you get away - which it does. If your heart rate increases, there is more blood pumping so you can use that blood to fuel your muscles to run away. Oxygen is sent to the lungs so you can run fast. Pupils dilating help you see in the dark. All of that prepares your body to fight or escape.
That's what takes people out of the fight half the time. They get hit and half the reaction is your ego is saying, 'I cannot believe that person just lit me up - how humiliating.'
As a professional athlete I can tell you I feel every single emotion and not one of them ever helped me in a fist-fight before.
My fight-or-flight mechanism... had served me well in Gaza, in Afghanistan, and all the places I'd been.
A loud noise will get your fight-or-flight response going. This, over the years, can cause real cardiovascular damage.
I think it's one of the most natural things for any human to do is to be able to run because it's that flight or fight reaction you have. You either fight or you run away. It's just a natural way for us to move.
Forget the technique. Hit the guy across from you. Don't let somebody come in your space.
I got a dog with a Napoleon complex. I have a Napoleon complex. We're small. Anything big that we feel is threatening us, we want to fight. We're not a pushover.
I operate off of fear almost exclusively.
This alpha dog is not going to take it lying down next time.
Discipline is no longer literal obedience but intelligent obedience, for discipline aims at obedience coupled with activity of will. Once discipline weakens and vanishes, as it does towards the latter stages of the fire fight, and the crowd instinct possesses the soldier, then will he, if training has formed those necessary mental reflexes, surrender himself to the will of his leader; this is where leadership supplants discipline without destroying it.
Any dog, you put him in the corner, no matter if they're vicious or not, they're going to bite back.
During the fight my senses dim, and basically, I don't feel any pain.
