Why do people think their huge beasts when they start boxing or mma?

Answer 1

People sometimes become a little drunk with their new found knowledge and meager skills a little sometimes. This then creates that in their own minds is why you sometimes see or find this. The smart ones usually realize after a while that they are not as tough or as much of a beast as they thought while some never lose this and then things like martial and fighting arts make them more aggressive in some bad ways. That is why I always reserved the right to refuse to train or teach anyone. I figured if I then did not or would not want them as a neighbor then I certainly was not going to give them knowledge and skill that made them more dangerous and capable of hurting others. People that could not keep their behavior in check were sent packing for this reason as well as the problems they would usually cause in my school then as well if left to attend.

Wasn't that the reason many traditional Chinese martial arts had animal styles? Modern martial artists are not so different from the traditional. For some people if they think they are a viscous animal the fighting comes easier.
