Isn somafera just a particularly aggressive display of uncontrolled temper and rage? Is it not therefore inherently weaker than a controlled, disciplined practice?
Not at all. While some forms of somafera do begin with rage, rage alone is weak. There is a saying amongst martial artists that the first person to lose his temper loses the fight, and this is quite true. Somafera transcends this, as it transcends every emotion, and it is certainly not just some mewling, frothing display of bad temper. It is a state of exquisite balance and control taken to super-normal levels by fuelling that balance with transcendent emotions, which include rage.
