I undertook training in kung fu in my late 20's. My master was from China and a 16th generation grand master......I became very interested in Taoism as a direct consequence of his teachings and training...

Rage was also one emotion to ebb away while training. After being very close to commiting acts that would have incarcerated me eventually, I had found a way out of it, and my master deeply cared for my welfare. He basically saved my life and my sanity, and helped me to turn my rage without, rather than within, through endurance meditation and the understanding of forgiveness.

If you can find a good teacher who cares about you and your progress, martial arts is an excellent way to control rage, and eventually reason away with it forever. I still get angry, but not so much rage anymore. Anger is good, rage is not......

Take care,
