I remember one day, it was the summer of 2018. I had woken up at 5:30 a.m. to get on the train at 6:30 a.m. and start my 7:30 a.m. training session. I did my morning session, had a quick breakfast, did my afternoon training session, and was on my way home to take the 4:30 p.m. train.
It was at this moment when somebody bumped into me and asked me if I had a problem. I took a look at him calmly and told him no. He then told me to watch where I was going. I gave him a look, shook my head, and started to walk away.
He walked up to me again and asked me if I had a problem. At this moment, I realized that he was a little insane. So I looked him directly in the eyes and told him, “Listen, I’ve been training and fighting all day. The last thing I want to do is get into another fight. But if you really want to, we can.”
His eyes got wider. He took another look at me before walking away.
I personally never go looking for fights. But I know that if one ever happens, I have the confidence and the ability to defend myself. This is something that is worth more than gold.
Criminals, attackers, and bullies also sense this confidence, and they typically tend to stay away from people who they feel this from.
Make sure to train martial arts and build this confidence.
Have a nice day.
