"BOY THAT GUY MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL" " KICK HIM IN THE NUTS YOU'LL ONLY MAKE HIM MORE ANGRY" " THE MOTHER LIFTED THE OVERTURNED CAR AND PULLED HER BABY FROM UNDERNEATH WITH THE OTHER HAND" LOL
We all heard about this thing called Adrenaline...how does one pull it out at the "drop of a dime?...when I got hit on the head with the blunt end of a matchete I didn't feel a thing for a good 24 hours cuz I was so pumped up or amped. If I'm lazy and I have to run to the store I will get tired after four blocks...if a pitbull chases me to the store I'M NOT STOPPING UNTIL MY LUNGS COLLAPSE. How can we pull out adrenaline at the drop of a dime...I'm thinking if we mastered this we wouldn't use things like coffee and cigarettes to keep us alert throughout the day. I was also thinking it would suck to get jumped when you're lazy...I'm sure pro fighters warm up ten minutes before the fight...on the street you could be lighting a smoke and get lopped in the face leaving you winded...that would suck. Adrenaline is key

Internal Martial Arts and Adrenaline
By Frank Allen
Internal martial arts train a fighter to continuously move through a series of conscious actions. In contrast, most other martial arts program a series of unconscious reflexive patterns into the fighter's nervous system. This programming is accomplished through exhaustive amounts of repetitive, rote training in movement patterns which are being programmed. When the patterns are fully programmed a momentary thought will trigger the fighter into his second or more programmed martial pattern. The trick of course is to trigger the proper pattern for the current situation.
Internal martial arts specifically do not use unconscious, reflexive actions. each millisecond action is controlled by conscious, aware thought. This forces the internal boxer to deal with a see-think-do time sequence. When an internal boxer begins this training, the length of the gaps between see-think-do are so large that is much slower than his unconscious reflexive fighting counterpart. Henceforth the Taiji adage 'To win you must first lose.' As the internal boxer continues to train, the gaps between see, think and do shorten and his fighting abilities begin to catch up to his external opponents. When the internal boxer has eliminated the gaps, his thought and action become one. At this point, he becomes faster than his external rival. The mind can change twenty or thirty times, while the unconscious reflexive action fighter is caught a longer pattern.
The internal boxer must practice contact sparring continuously, from an early point in their training or they will never be able to close the gaps between see, think and do, when they are under pressure. Closing the gaps requires the ability to relax while under attack. If the internal boxer tenses and his adrenal glands fire, his chances of staying calm and conscious have been massively lessened.
Adrenaline is a power source to an internal boxer's opponents and a detriment to his own speed and power. Adrenaline triggers unconscious, reflexive action. If a fighter is trying to develop the instinctual fighting styles of the animal world then adrenal firing should be part of his training.
The internal boxer must learn to fight without letting his adrenal glands fire. This begins by learning to spar with diaphramic continuous breathing and relaxed muscles. Then the internal fighter must learn to relax relax his emotions while sparring. Finally, he must learn to feel his adrenal and be especially careful not to tense anything near them while sparring.
Clearing the adrenal glands, to keep them from firing while fighting, is a practice which takes many years to perfect. When prefected, this practice allows the internal fighter to compete at full speed and power with an unrestriced flow of continuous concious thought."
