Fighting kills hamster and lies. Women and betas have hamsters because they are sheltered from physical fighting and never face the reality. Women love violent men who bring them to reality. Fighting is life. Avoiding fights is slow death.

It's funny when guys hoot and holler about "feminism only exists in b/c of the current societal set-up and excess wealth blah blah blah" and then in the next breath talk about how game>physicality with regard to pulling girls. While they're right about the feminism point, and they're right about game>physicality at the current moment in time, it's sort of the pot calling the kettle black b/c "game" only works due to the societal protections in place that also allows feminism (Go to bars in seedier parts of the world or even in some U.S. cities, guys aren't "gaming"). Trying to AMOG some dude with snide and clever remarks in Somalia is going to go like this:

Do you think Genghis Khan had "game". No, he simply took what he could, which happened to be most the known world. It's hard to be smooth when someone just witnessed you getting your teeth knocked to the back of your throat. Don't dance around the physical/violent aspect of being a man, embrace it.

Usually the person with the more practical, more well-thought out and who can adapt to the current set of rules will come out with BETTER RESULTS than the person who trying to fit everything into an "alpha" box. Those who usually attempt to adhere to the "alpha box" is similar to the always-headstrong-aggressive-impulsive guy. Others just let them make mistakes and refine their approach and get the better net results....and net results is all that matters...in the grand scheme of things.

Had my first ever class today.

It was BJJ/GI mix, so essentially grappling. I got my ass handed to me several times and found out new ways my shoulder joint could bend. I enjoyed locking someone down on the ground and leaving them helpless for a moment.

I'm going to enjoy a few free classes as part of my trial and then consider taking it up for a month to see where it goes.

Another great post by Giovonny.


Another thing guys, get your money right too.

In the world of animals, the most aggressive animal rules, in the world of human beings, the richest man rules,get your money right.

[Every10GivesMeA10]

Just got back from BJJ training and while sparring, a guy had me on full mount when I suddenly thought of Giovonni's words.

He was the one who ended up tapping.

Don't force it. Don't rush it. If it feels right, do it. If it doesn't feel like its helping, stop.

You can always go back when you have more time, enery, motivation.

When your heart craves it, do it.

Yes sir.

Money is usually better then fighting skills.

They are both important but fighting will not pay the mortage.

To become more Alpha, new levels have to be set and then maintained. I liked to use the analogy of technical stock chart charting.

Once you break through a resistance level, it then becomes support for that particular element of your alpha-ness (stock).

Sometimes it's like riding a bike, you pretty much break that resistance level then you stay there easily throughout your life. But to learn a double back flip tail whip for an X-games dirt jump competition is a whole knew skill altogether.

Other aspects you maybe aren't as natural at, need to be retested more frequently to check for level of proper maintenance.

The key is to keep that support level and never drop back below it once achieved.

Fight Club wouldn't resonate with so many people if it was called Knitting Club.

[Giovonny]

^^^ We should start our own "fight club". If we got together and fought each other, it would do wonders for our confidence and game!

Anyone in The Bay Area, if you want to fight, let me know!

Stumbled on this thread a while ago and it has inspired me to get started with Muay Thai. Went to my first class today and signed up for 10 more afterwards, looking forward to getting more into this. The gym I went to seems great, they've got a number of guys who compete professionally and the guys at the beginner class I met today seemed like stand-up, masculine guys, way better company than the pussified guys surrounding me on campus. Thanks for the inspiration Gio!

A real Alpha is in control of his life and has the ability to master challenges in his life
and come out on top.

A real Alpha is a conqueror...in spirit, in thought and in deed. Contrary to the Hollywood caricature
many people think of...an alpha is not the machine-gun toting John Rambo in the movies...that is a tragic example
of PTSD and failing our veterans.

An alpha is much more than a playboy who spends all of his money on women and toys...

I believe the only way you can achieve "Alpha" status, is to first believe in yourself and then
understand where you are in life and where you need to be...financially, spiritually, physically
and in your relationships....and then fight like hell to get there...there are plenty of life's challenges
you must conquer without wasting your time jumping into bar fights...

fuck another guy's gf. I stay away from marrieds, but it's awesome to meet a girl out at a bar, you get the IOIs but she has a bf and maybe will only make out with you that night, but agrees to see you again. Then you know she's dtf.

[evilhei]

I really love boxing and sparring and totally agree with all the benefits on being alpha it gives. Its been years since I started fighting but before I remember walking in a club or busy street at night and when some dude came my way I stepped aside. Now I don't do that anymore, I just keep moving and the other dudes make my way. Its not like im pushing them away or trying to start a fight or anything but it just happens. Or if its somebody with similar posture, we both meet each other the halfway and both make little room for each other.

Nice! I plan on signing up to a Muay Thai gym here in Toronto in the coming months. I need some sort of physical activity to help build me up both physically and mentally.

Bumping this thread because I dont think people understand the extent that violence is important to us.

I have been pumping iron and doing martial arts for 3-4 years now, and although it kept me in great shape, it wasn't truly fulfilling. There was something missing, I just dont know why and before I know it, I plateau and had some kind of crisis.

I decided to sign up for a HEMA club, which is basically MMA with weapons and armor. Except you can really whack the shit out of your partner and yourself without getting hurt too much that you can't go to the office tomorrow. It was the first time I could truly exercise violence. Hitting the other and getting hit, blur of steel vs steel the only sound you see and movement so fast you have to feel it and not see it. It was the most primal, natural thing I've ever experienced and it was liberating. You whack on the other until he goes down, than you keep hitting him with whatever you got until one or both of you collapse in exhaustion.

We might have developed civilization to the point we no longer need to fight (although someone who walk down a dark alley in Chicago might dispute that), but that doesnt mean our hard-coded survival instinct has disappeared. In fact, with all the bullshit smartphone and internet going on around us, we need it even more.

This guy puts it better than most: I love fighting because I am human.

Bumping this thread to make sure everyone gets a look at this gold mine of information, and implements it in their new year.

Great post, so true.

I only started boxing a couple of years ago, at the age of 38, and wish I'd started as a kid.

Even having a little experience, people sense it and you have deeper confidence.

Looking back, I am sure things would have been easier growing up too. Every male kid should learm to fight IMO. I heard some feminist describe enrolling a kid in combat sports as 'child abuse'. It pissed me off, as the opposite is closer to the truth. That kid will be a softer target if they haven't learnt to fight.

I started boxing because twice I got into a shouting match with a westerner, and it got face to face and then...it became obvious that neither of us had ever been in a fight!!

I reckon that's true of 80% of middle class Americans and Europeans.

Learning to fight, even just a little gives you a big advantage in game and life, and means there will always be a softer target. People just sense it.

(BTW, my profile says 'Male Feminist'. I am far from that! I think I entered it as a jole, and can't see how to change it!)

Fight!

That is how I cultivated an Alpha mindset, attitude, and demeanor. That is how I developed a sense of superiority over other men and a sense of entitlement over women. That is why I feel like an Alpha.

As a young man, I has dozens of street fights and schoolyard fights. I realized that I could beat up most of the other kids in school. This gave me a psychological and physical advantage over them. They had to respect me.

This was a very primal and animalistic experience. I embraced it. It gave me power.

Girls could sense it.

I cultivated this aggressive, competitive, mindset for many years. I transferred it into other sports. I transferred it to chasing girls. I transferred it into all competitive situations. It became part of my personality. It became my greatest skill.

I call it -- "The Law of The Jungle"

The toughest fighting animal is the one who controls the food, females, and resources. That is the essence of Alpha.

I still spar occasionally. I do this to test myself. Am I still an alpha or have I become a beta? I can usually find out in a matter of minutes.

I know that 99% of guys are not doing this. That fact alone lets me know that I am in the top 1% of men, in this area.

My advice is this..

If you want to become more of an Alpha -- Find a boxing gym or MMA gym -- Go there and fight!

Fight for your life. You will learn things about yourself that otherwise would have gone undiscovered. You will challenge yourself in ways that you previously had never thought of. You will learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible. You will learn strengths and weaknesses that you didn't know existed.

In my opinion, there is no better exercise for Alpha Development.

Challenge yourself on the deepest, most masculine, most primal level..

Fight!

You will be glad that you did. You will become more Alpha.

Shiiit bro you're making me feel like I'm Rocky or something this morning. Ready to train in Siberia lol. At minimum you got me pumped for my next hardcore visit to the gym (a routine thing nowadays, but so necessary to maintain). Thank you for the inspirational post.

[Kahler]

My transition from high school pathetic beta began after I watched "fight club" and started training muay thai. It didn't happen overnight, but slowly i changed. Of course if you are very slim (like I was) you should also lift. Now i am certainly more confident, but my problem is that I don't have any experience from real (street) fight and I wonder how I would handle such situation (of course I mean 1 vs 1, without "equipment").
