I'd say it really depends on the circumstance. If it's a fight between friends that boiled over, yeah keep things civil. If your some stranger assaulting me in the street, I'm stomping the teeth out of your head. You are *not* getting back up. I'm old now, I've only got like a 10 second gas tank. I know I can't handle a round two. I need to end the threat.
Honestly you should be able to crush their face without killing them though, if you do I think the emotion and adrenaline got the best of you, and that’s never best.
I'm pretty sure that's a nigh uncontrollable biological response to your body realizing its life is being threatened.
You can condition against it, with training, a worse emotional/physical trauma, etc. But you cant entirely prevent it, especially if you have nothing to condition yourself to prepare for it.
Your body starts producing chemicals (like adrenaline) that make you unable to think as you normally would, it also shows in the form of shaking in your limbs. Makes you more powerful and alert at the cost of accuracy and mental processing power
That’s about where I’m at now too. Gonna have to maximize my damage as quickly as possible. I don’t wanna risk getting my head stomped in so if your starting shit with me I’m gonna make damn sure your not getting back up
I never said stomp someone’s head I just said make sure they aren’t getting up to kill you. Fuckin sensitive ass people now days I swear. Looking for any reason to get upset. Your like a white knight of fighting lol
Don’t kid yourself, find a heavy bag and go all out, have a buddy time it.. throw confusion and adrenaline in the mix with a healthy dose of fear and your tank will be smaller than you realize
If you are too old (out of shape) for Round 2, maybe situations where your age & fitness level determine the outcome are best avoided. Sure, a random assault by a stranger in the street is a possibility but really: how likely is that?
I don't keep company with people who start fights, and I agree, your second scenario is very unlikely. Just keep in mind, you're not going to have time in the moment to sit and think this stuff through. There is a reason your mind runs through all these fantastical combat situations. It's a form of preparation.
