Definition of WAR a. An active and open struggle between competing entities.
The word itself conjures up the familiar images of armed conflict, and that is where you, Baz and Brian, get stuck.
The bout itself can be seen as a microcosm of full scale war.
Objectives and tactics are the same for both. Hence my earlier statement:
'But the true nature of these sports remains rooted in war and conflict! impose your will upon your opponent, force sumission or render him/her inert'
When we climb into the ring we are going to WAR! A conflict resolved by force!
What other state of mind is suffice in the preparation and participation of a fight?
Vince Lombardi: '...man's finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.'
Vince Lombardi is talking about a FOOTBALL game! His methods and strategies are studied by coaches and trainers from all sorts of diciplines to this day.
War is not just fought on battle fields, its also fought between minds, this discussion right here is a war of ideas and words where you yourself Brian, RAGE MIGHTILY within the confines of this ARENA.
In your ONE fight Brian what state of mind did you adopt? one of a man making a cup of coffee?
...as for SatanKid, he took a swing and I countered...whats it got to do with you?
