I do…
When you train to be agressive what do you have on your mind?
If your not agressive do you wait for the other person to throw something?
Or do you wait for them to throw someting and then your agressive?
Just making conversation that isnt stupid…:mad:
No, I train to be peaceful but able to tap into the aggression when required. Dunno how successful I am though 
Aim your target past their head, Act like an animal about to attack etc.
"When you train to be agressive what do you have on your mind? "
Aggressiveness, what else? 
I think that in the beginning, if you are not naturally agressive, you may have to think “be aggressive, bie aggressive” I know several people like that. After a while though, it will become habit and not cloud your thoughts and your fighting, provided that you are training in a style that promotes aggressiveness. If you aren’t, then I guess it doesn’t matter.
Believe it or not, there’s basic, power mechanic exercises that tend to make you aggresive. It’s friggin’ weird.
I think the way I am and my music coverd the agressive part haha…
Aggressive?
Oh yes. Most assuredly so. But not too much when I’m sparring. I like to practise countering & primarily defensive moves when I’m sparring. But seeing as these tend to be far more difficult to apply in the heat of a fight I prefer to be aggressive.
While looking good throwing counters & taunting your opponent during a fight (& I’ll confess I’ve done it once or twice) is fun, it doesn’t really fit into the Wing Chun mentality of fast efficient destruction.
But aggression sure does. I personally think that anyone who trains WC to look good is missing the point somewhat, but I have to admit putting your opponent down in the shortest possible time in without breaking a sweat in front of people does look pretty ****ed good. And it takes that aggression factor to do it.
They censor d a m n?
Isn’t that taking it a little too far?
Mild mannered
Personally I don’t train to be agressinve but my fighting style is very agressive. I usually don’t wait for an opponent to come to me I take it to them. Or at the first sign af agression I attack.
Yeah, that is weird. I was shocked.
Being physically aggressive is a strategy while sparring. There is a time to be aggressive and there is a time not to be.
However, as far as the mind is concerned our goal is to have no emotion. To fight without anger, happiness, or any thought whatsoever. To be completely calm and fight as though fighting is second nature. That is our goal anyway. Therefore I do not want to become a better fighter by getting angry or aggressive. However, physically being aggressive simply means pressing the attack and being very offensive, and there is nothing wrong with that. My point is that it is ok to be physically aggressive as long as you are mentally calm. Emotions cloud the mind.
That is one aspect I am always concentrating on when teaching. It is a body-set that then leads the mind-set. Some may think it visa versa, but I find one needs to be taught the proper movement to have proper mind-set.
By establishing where and how the body moves first allows for a more natural sense of Yin, IMO.
nospam.
Do you guys think it is better to be agressive?
“Do you guys train to be agressive?” Speaking only for myself, no. Quite the opposite, actually.
“Do you guys think it is better to be aggressive?” Answer depends on context. Which is true - that good things come with time or that you must sieze the moment?
Is it better? I think that you need to know when to be aggressive and when not to be, and that can change in the middle of a fight. Sometimes it is good sometimes it is bad.
from what i have seen, in lots of fights, the person who is most aggressive wins.
i would love to hear those methods water dragon?
i box and i am naturally agressive, when fighting only though. or when people talk smack to me.
ahrm ahrm..if i my add my own insight.
well, when I train I am aggressive..what I mean by this is, I push myself to see how far I can go, but that does not neccessarily mean that i train TO BE agrressive. In fact training AFTER training Im heaps calmer and I handle any outside situation rather peacefully, but i think that, that is part of being confident. I hope im making sense.
When I train, i know that this must sound wierd, but i pretend that someone is watching me, to choose me or something. (like for e.g a great master is siiting there ready to choose the best), its prob silly, and its not like i make it obvious or anything, but in my MIND ipush myself because of this.
Tea Li;)
excuse the errors:)
I’m similar to Tae Li. Don’t train to be agressive, train to be calm, content and be able to look after myself, but there are times during training when you must be aggressive in order to progress.
HHmm
both views have been voiced here, however I not sure one should train for aggression or calmness. These things are always merely indicative of ones internal state, but if its about what kind of attitude one should hold when training… then I think I would have to say that I train for correctness. Training for agression is useless as it is in itself an imbalance. It is indicative of something lacking and a need to make up for it. Training for correctness/perfection I think is more worthwhile
