Episode 2 - Prepare your Mind for the Fight - Fury Switch
There have been piles of books written on the right types of weapons, shooting methods, fitness, legal considerations, and other self-defense related topics, but THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC of MINDSET is rarely discussed. This video series on 'Building Fighter Mindset' is Instructor John Lovell's attempt to cover some of the biggest areas of what comprises good fighter mindset and how to build such a mindset. This video and the videos following will include (but not be limited to) subcategories of mindset such as: being ready to die, being ready to kill, mastering your fear, physiological effects of fear, fighting for a higher purpose, what happens to you when you die and how theology is relevant to gunfighting, using rage to your advantage, thinking calmly amidst the chaos of a violent encounter, ridding yourself of despair or regret, and much more.

Video Overview:
While guns, firearm instruction, working out, martial arts, and all that good stuff is very important, none of it matters much if you do not have the right underlying fighter mindset. Mindset allows you to conquer fear, to see threats early, to rouse rage, to settle ethical questions before the fact, and to settle what is worth living and dying for. Without fighter mindset, your training and guns mean absolutely nothing. This video series is aimed at addressing these difficult underlying questions with practical wisdom. Fighter mindset seems to be one of those areas that fighters agree is critical, but then is never really discussed or trained openly.

As I've seen you state in other videos, this fear of your own failure or quitting can be a powerful tool to empower you to drive yourself beyond your previous limitations. Can be used in this context as well.

Outstanding. Not many people/instructors/citizens talk about this aspect of life. I know several people who have ccw and a firearm that they chose as their edc yet choose not to carry it because they are afraid. We can't have that mind set. Well I can't personally. There is literally to much at stake. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Speed, surprise, violence of action my friends.

Ive been a Corrections Officer for 10 years and this is spot on. I have said for years that it’s important to keep things light until its time to put work in. Every time i train a new officer i tell them to run themselves in what ifs every time they get on post. What if i got in a fight over there or got jumped over there or there was a fire or medical emergency etc. doing that throughout my career has been extremely useful for me. Allows u to keep clam and react instantly when needed, as well as give clear and concise radio transmissions as well.

I thought I was the only one that imagined the horrible to try to make sure I am ready for it if it ever came. I feel, to me, the best way to control that fury is also how you invoke it. That is by using your love for others. You cannot fly off the handle in an uncontrolled rage while also being able to protect others. After watching this video I feel better about having a "fury switch" and not like I am some freak. This video also gave me pointers on fine tuning it as well. Every time you talk about love and having a reason to fight it reminds me of 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

I'm naturally a super calm, chill person, almost too passive. It's really hard for me to go off on somebody, unless they really push some buttons, I'm able to keep my anger and rage in check. I'm starting to do mma, and I'm really happy to hear that offensive martial arts help to become more of an "agressor"

Definite food for thought. Many years ago, I realized that I had the potential for real anger, so I trained myself to bury it. When I get very anrgy, I speak very quietly, lest I even say something that could be hurtful... so, the potential to tap what I am used to burying is there. .. just how to reach it constructively

Reading this, it sounds like I am a powder-keg waiting to explode. I try to follow the example of the Lord's prayer."forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespassed against us:" The solution that I have found is that when I catch myself replaying something that someone has done against me, I make myself pray for something good to happen to that person. Doesn't mean that I have to trust them again... as I tell my grandchildren "the more time you spend sincerely praying for someone, the less time you spend plotting your revenge. The point that I was trying to make is that there are some things in the protector mindset that I have to consciously learn to do.

Great point about martial arts. I was afraid of getting punched in the face so I joined a Muay Thai gym. I started training a year and a half ago (In my late 30's, no less. No prior martial arts experience whatsoever). I get kicked and punched countless times a week and we laugh at each other during sparring. My fear of fighting is gone. Muay Thai is an amazing art, an incredible workout (lost 30 pounds in the first year), and is great for building confidence and the will to fight.

A discussion about mindset I once had during a drive with the armored car company crew chief I used to work with was along these lines. We talked about how we value human life and as soon as a human tries to devalue another human life by serious injury, rape, abduction or murder, during the spam of the threat, their life becomes valueless in the eyes of the protectors and for the aftermath, should easily remain that way. Knowing you did what has to be done to make sure you go home having done what is right.

Great video series, John! I am slow to anger and I share your Christian beliefs. I also have a deep love for my fellow man, which, under certain circumstances, would make me very dangerous, since I also have no fear of dying. I try to live my life based on the teachings of a man that once died to save me, who also taught that, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another."

We actually went over this topic at our church last Sunday, the bible does not define anger itself as a sin as it is necessary. The distinction comes into play when they allow anger to turn into bitterness which turns the gift of rage into a toxic foothold.

Again my two cents. I am amazed at your ability to translate war skills, to street skills. I say that owning that “switch” requires its care and feeding. Turning fear into anger/action needs to be rehearsed in our heads. I act out fear and anger when I dry fire. Instead of just the physical repetitions I flip the SWITCH and inject emotion into my dry fire by cursing and yelling commands at my imaginary opponent. It raises the intensity and I will default to my survival violence mode. The difficult part is not calling up the intensity, it is still seeing the environment. I had a 9mm browning hi power aimed at a home invaders head with the hammer back, and my finger on the trigger. I had flipped the switch, they had smashed a window by throwing a fist sized rock through the window that stuck in the sheetrock opposing wall and I had decided to shoot them when they crossed the thresh hold. I was behind the refrigerator only the pistol and one eye showing, I said nothing. My heart was pounding, huge adrenaline dump. The man reached through the broken window, unlocked the door lock and pushed the door open. There was a box between the door and the wall and it stopped the door suddenly startling him and me, my entire body tensed very quickly, however i did not pull the trigger because he had not yet stepped into the house. To this day I am amazed i did not do him. It wasn’t my first rodeo however still, how lucky for this kid. I think survival when things get sideways. If I can run and GET AWAY, i will run every time. If not, well really intense shit is going to happen to the other person, not me. Until you have been in a life and death situation you can’t be sure how you will react. The friends i have now do not know about or have seen the Switch. I am a likable, amiable person with a upbeat attitude. The skill set and the switch you are teaching is so important and vital to becoming a asset to your family and community. You nail it every time. Good work. God bless you.

John, great video! To add to what you have explained about that "fury switch", I think there is a physiological aspect we all know as the "adrenaline dump" that we need to take into consideration and deal with. It can make us very shaky and unstable if we let it. I think training under pressure can teach us to come to term with this reality and make us better at becoming a focused furious warrior.

Well said, brother. I've been working on channeling aggression into something positive for years now. I have a fun little phrase for this... I call it "controlled aggression" or "controlled chaos". My technique is to always be in a dormant state of rage all the time. I keep myself on edge constantly... Heads on a swivel all day long! That way, all I have to do is crank up the aggression when the situation arises. Very good video! 💪

I've never been in combat, but I think I got a taste of the "rational fury" state of mind at a force-on-force class a while back. I was put in a crappy situation and it made me mad enough that I wanted to "kill 'em all", but I very quickly put into effect a plan on the fly and did it. I had team mates in the drill and through their paintball masks I could see that their eyes were twice the size of normal as I started barking out commands (I am neither a barker nor a commander; this situation really made me behave differently than I normally do!) but the team pulled together and actually got out of the crappy situation. Very memorable for me.

I should have never done it but it is SO true that it wasnt until I actually got hit hard that I got serious enough to be motivated. sure there's probably better. more hardcore stories than mine but hey its my story so it works for me, good video, thanks for the insight John

I have developed something like this. I do it by having high moral standards. When aomeone violates my moral standards it angers me. Attacking someone is a huge no go. So I have never had trouble summoning rage to bring the fight. In fact the trouble has always been proportionate response in my life.

@warrior poet society it's funny that you should mention finding something that scares you and running straight at it. At one point I was 280 lb of flabulous and I decided that I wanted to climb Denali. Knowing that I was afraid of heights and I was unbelievably out of shape I went ahead and started running got down around 2:20 to look up rock climbing and climbed until my hands stop shaking and I stopped being afraid. My weight plummeted to 190. And yes I know that is still monster s for a rock climber lol but as a consequence I became an instructor and in the end will end up being able to climb better than two-thirds of the way up the existing world scale even at that monster is size. I found a gift after fighting through the fear.

Robb Frossard. I was just reviewing this older video and saw your comment about "running straight at it". It prompted me to recall a time when i was roofing my house with the help of,, my then 13 y.o. son. He told me later how scared he was of heights , but decided to overcome it to help me. I was never more proud. Thanks for reminding me.

When is your book coming out man? It would be a nightstand regular accompanied by Lt. Col Grossman's "On Combat". Great information and presentation.

Kenneth Petersen Great point! I love the Sheepdog vs Wolf analogy! Also read the book ' The Gift of Fear'. It goes over how to go back to listening to our inner voice telling us something is wrong with this situation or person and not thinking I'm being paranoid or xenophobic.

Rage has always been a touchy subject for me. I take great pains to avoid any confrontation, not because I am scare of getting hurt,but because of the damage I might cause if I let loose on another human. Few "fights" if you could call them that got into as a kid was me essentially trying to remove my self from the situation. I'd feel my self start to lose it and I'd start to shake and tear up snot would start hanging out of my nose. It was embarrassing beyond belief. I'd come home and end up smashing shit to let it out and it was brutal. Rip doors off hinges, inanimate objects really got it. Tried to punch a tv... The kind that had like 3inch thick glass, shattered my hand. When my dad saw what I did, he took me out in the woods and gave me a splitting maul and I split wood to chill out. Turns out, it saved the furniture, but didn't do anything about scared about hurting people. When I was about 15 I took some martial arts classes, after the first day I started sparring, my instructor stuck me in with adults black belts. Granted I was about175 pounds and 6foot at the time, but they stuck a white belt kid to spare with adult black belts... I should of been slaughtered, but one of my first matches, I got whacked real hard right past the face guard and hit my nose. I lost it, front kicked the dude and launched him into the glass mirror like I shot him with a.45. He even blocked the kick. Broke his arm and bruised some ribs. I was mortified and quit then and there. I am a pretty easy going guy and thankfully never had my life threatened, except once, and I froze because it was a family(long story) member and my brain couldn't register what was happening. The feeling after my brain finally sussed out what happened was worse then the idea of hurting someone. I should of been dead. I'm in my 30s now and have a wife and son and I can't let that happen again. I have no problems taking someone out defending me and my own, but it's almost certainly a prison sentence for me if I let loose. I would like to find a way to focus and channel that rage, get kinda bottled up and I don't have any wood to split. Was thinking about martial arts again,now that I got different priorities. Tho I'd need to lose some weight, been slowly approaching the 300th parallel. Anyways... Sorry for the rant.

I don't know if I fully understand so I thought I'd ask haha. Do I need to picture a horrible situation so when I need the "monster" I would just think about that scenario ( the cost of failure) so the beast comes out? I didn't know if I got that part right haha. Love your channel, it's very helpful stuff. Thanks!

Is it courage/love or anger and aggression which will control you.
