Fight SCIENCE says:

What are your triggers?

Jon Cooney says:

Be more mindful.

morpheus One says:

I'm not a violent person but after 5 years of hell since the council moved in a crack dealer next door, I snapped due to some crackhead beating his wife in there back yard in front of my daughter,, , he thought he'd get aggressive with his comn on then,, the next morning I had him about it after speaking to him , next thing I knew the Mrs was over the wall giving it him then he raised his fist at her, so then I flew over, it was all quite. Controlled.

Davy Reid says:

Humility, humbleness and humour have served me well in avoiding confrontation

Grant Imahara says:

In the U.S. we use the word 'aroused' in a context not pertaining to 'sexually aroused' enough that it's connotation isn't always assumed to be such. And we tend to view those who inappropriately make that assumption as immature or ignorant. Lucky ailments such as these can be cured with simple time and education.

I took this video very personally but then I remembered to just walk away but before I did, I gave it a thumbs up.

Kuldip Waid says:

The birds feel secure flying in the vast skies above. They are still caught and the hunter makes his dinner.

Interestingly enough, those first two are common characteristics of violent criminals. Emotional and easily triggered into violence. Add in the experience of putting people down and, well, you've just underestimated your opponent. It's a common misconception that people who are enraged are out-of-control, unable to think, and unable to act. People who are familiar with being in that place know how to operate within it and can use that emotion to their advantage. It's like anything else. If you don't know how to throw a hook, you don't know how to defend against them. If you don't know how to apply a choke, you don't know how to defend against them. If you don't train with weapons, you don't know how to defend against them. If you don't train for the adrenaline and stress of a real-world encounter (and I'm speaking from experience), you don't know how to defend against it. Someone making it clear, in no uncertain terms, that their goal is put you into the hospital or a grave will give you the biggest adrenaline and cortisol dumps you've ever experienced, especially if you have to present a weapon. Speaking from personal experience, your ability to react instantly, without a moment of hesitation, in the face of an actual life-or-death threat is what will save your life. But, if you find yourself in an ego battle, just swallow your pride and walk away. Beat yourself up for the next two-weeks about what you could've done and go on living your life, spending time with your family, knowing that nobody got killed or sent to prison over a stupid ego battle.

I always just walk away….. sometimes even run away. And that's why im still around and enjoying life.

Will Gassett Jr says:

Maybe it’s the military in me or maybe it’s because I’m 5’6 and weigh 170lbs and had to grow up in Boston but I have NEVER understood why people get so offended by someone calling them a name. My parents taught me the old rhyme: “Sticks and stones may break my bones but NAMES WILL NEVER HURT ME” and I took that to heart when I was a kid. Now that I’m 35 I still hold that to be true. I got picked on A LOT both in school as a very short and I was scrawny at the time and I had more then my share of fights both in school and during the beginning of my military career and have fortunately (and probably unfortunately to an extent) have never lost a fight but I never started a fight over words, I didn’t care if they called me names or insulted my dead mom. I draw the line at putting your hands on me or my property. I took karate as a small kid and I remember always being taught it was a last resort. Why do people get so butthurt about being called a name? Idc if you’re black and someone calls you the “N word” I’ve had Black people call me a honky, a cracker, among other things and I never gave a damn. I sure as hell didn’t start a fight or worse over it. In my opinion if you’re offended over a word whether it’s to the point of physical violence or not, you have far bigger issues that you need to resolve within yourself because you clearly have insecurities and self esteem issues.

Cory Chartier says:

Training includes your mind we often forget this aspect.

Classic Drip Rob says:

I only fight to Protect myself and people I love and Care For I always keep Brass knuckles and knife So Who ever try to Harm me gets A Blessing.

Bryan Talley says:

The first sign is that you use hand sanitizer.

Roger Manley says:

what are Mike Tyson's triggers? haha … what a bunch of b.s……Sometimes good fighters aren't necessarily good people, and vice versa.

Miguel Jimenez says:

Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the face – Mike Tyson

Bowe says:

You can teach someone to fight but you cant teach them to be a fighter

Cherokee Fit says:

I take things personally. It’s impossible to mind your business at the gym. It came to light that the gym is full of insecure men that live they’re life at the gym. Being ex infantry, doing cardio and going home to shower and coming back to work out makes men jealous. There was an annoying imaginary lay syndrome loser that used to walk around like he was carrying water melons. He folded like a girl when I saw him outside of the gym on a run. Hopefully he learned to mind his own business. He’s the guy that deserves a Jon Bones Jones oblique kick to the knee so bad.

Frederick Craft says:

Always check the ears and width of their neck before you jump at "em.

Sylas Marner says:

anger makes me more vicious and more willing to hurt you badly..like grabbing your fingers and twisting them off! most people expect you to swing at them,not stick their fingers in your eyes or in their nostrils and ripping them off.

ReDmAn says:

This friggiN guy is a know it all bum that's what TRIGGERS me He thinks his way is the only way 🤦🏽‍♂️
