We so often talk about control in the martial arts. Most of the time we are talking about the physical control. But the mental control is where it all starts. Mental control covers a wide range of emotions. Controlling the emotions is not easy for most people. Depending on your mood at the time. A persons emotions can change in a instance, you get cut off in traffic, the traffic lights quit working right when you get there, the train crosses just when you get to the tracks. There are always people wanting to crank you up! Some people thrive on, and live for the cranking up of other peoples emotions, it is a challenge, actually a emotional high for them. One has to learn to take a deep breath, tell yourself that it is not such a big deal, and let it go. Learning how to release emotions is not a overnight thing. It takes years to learn how to control every emotion. Control the mental, that will control the physical.
