RAGE

Anger, frustration, even hate. These all play a massive part in peoples motivations. It helps people lose weight, get a new job, leave an abusive partner and generally change their lives. It’s a powerful force, an inner fire that can’t be quelled by talk or taking 10 breaths. It requires action, as Michael Douglas said as Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street;
"The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that anger — for lack of a better word — is good. Anger is right. Anger works. Anger clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit."
But what place does rage have for a fighter? Is the image of angry men waiting to knock seven bells out of each other a correct or necessary one?
Many fighters use rage towards their opponent, they conduct a negative mental image of the other fighter so that they can tap into a side of their personality that allows them to deal out the maximum amount of time in the shortest time possible.
