In the past I’ve talked about a person’s aura having a lot to do with intimidation. Well beyond walking, your presence has to be one of bravado, I like to call it the Panther presence. When I find myself walking into a building or plaza, I mentally assume ownership of everything there. It becomes my metropolis and it’s people become my people. This allows me to take it all in at a glance and it leads me to walk briskly as if I own the place. A good example of this stride can be seen through Bill “The Butcher” Cutting on Gangs of New York or Ari Gold from HBO’s Entourage. Both these men don’t stroll, they walk like business is meant to be handled! When you walk this way people want to get out of your way and on observation they tend to assume that you’re a big deal. Put a little smile on… [Read more]

Awhile back I did an article about intimidation and getting yourself a red aura vs a green one in everyday life. Lately there has been an explosion of videos on YouTube and other sources showcasing tough guys getting their asses handed to them by their seemingly weaker opponents. Now the popularity of these videos makes sense being that everyone loves an underdog. Okay to be more specific, everyone loves to see a shit talker get his ass beat. All of these videos have similarities in terms of engagement and retaliation. You have the trash talker who postures for a fight and the victim who strikes back viciously. Add to that the camera person’s callous nonchalance in filming the entire thing and its a lose/lose situation for everyone. Talking trash has many uses, most of them being to start a fight or to celebrate a victory. More often than not talking trash will infuriate your opponent…. [Read more]

There are certain guys that get tried on a daily basis and there are other guys who never get tried for whatever reason. It’s not always about looks because some of the biggest guys still get tried and get their asses beat and some of the smallest guys are avoided by literally everyone. Why is this? Us martial artists like to think of it as an aura that surrounds an individual, lets think of it as colors like a green aura means “try me” and a red aura means “step the hell back”. Many of us would love to have a red aura but we have somewhat of a greenish-yellow tint as in we aren’t tried much but there are times when we get checked. Personally my aura is orange-red, it is near red but sometimes people will get close to trying. I didn’t develop this color from beating people’s asses, quite the contrary, my… [Read more]

Some guys get intimidated by workout bunnies, the common theme is that they think these chicks are stuck up, full of themselves or divas. Most of the time I have found them to be quite the opposite… just don’t be that jackass breaking into her workout to sexually harrass her. Just shoot her some eye contact and talk to her when you’re both off the treadmill… or whatever machine it is you do. One thing that makes my argument valid is: People who workout are normally comfortable in their bodies, they look at themselves more than the average individual and monitor their losses/gains on a daily basis. They aren’t worrying about you, what you look like or your imperfections, many of them just want a good guy who isn’t fetishing their bodies or lifestyle. Ever have sex with a muscular woman? Probably not, go ahead and do that then get back to me. I’ve dated… [Read more]
