tcs-14 Don’t be intimidated.


Don’t be intimidated.

In point tournaments, many competitors wear flashy uniforms to try to intimidate their opponents. This may work with some opponents, but not the ones who are aware and in control of their environment. These competitors know that fighting skill is all that matters.

In a real life self-defense situation, an assailant uses intimidation to cow a victim. In a point tournament, it has become a “strategy” used to harass and distract. I refer to the practice of slapping oneself and growling before a fight. It’s just that, a strategy (and a stupid one), and may actually indicate a lack of confidence in one’s fighting prowess. It shouldn’t fluster anyone who practices a Level 3 self-control.
The Key:
If you analyze only your adversary’s “core” fighting skills and how you can effectively control him, you will surely prevail.
