Just watched a great National Geographic episode about the Dog Brothers (A long time group of guys that have a very big well organized fight club in California). One of the key questions raised was what long term training does to the mind. The main guy in the Dog Tribe believes that men have an innate need to be aggressive and training gets it out of their system. Making them less likely to be violent. A panel of psychologist saw it as just the opposite: they believe intense training wires the brain to make us much more aggressive making us much more likely to be violent in real life. Both groups were very inteligent and well spoken making good arguments. They're not talking about "MCDOJO get a blackbelt for showing up to build your self esteem" schools but places where they actually train to be fighters and do intense sparring.
What do you think? Does intense training make you more or less aggressive? ( or maybe that people that train intensely are more aggressive to start out with)
Im opened minded either way just trying to get a better understanding of something I really enjoy.
