If a fight broke out between two of my teammates, honestly, I'd encourage them to settle it... IN THE RING! Seriously, give them both a set of 12 oz gloves, some headgear, and gumshields and let them duke it out.
Hear me out. This is positive because it gives the conflict a definitive conclusion. In addition, as Seraph once so wisely said, "you do not truly know someone until you fight them". What this really means is that, in a combat scenario, our true selves are revealed. Bruce Lee once said that "a good fight should be like a small play, but played seriously". This might be confusing, but consider this: if one is to play seriously, one must mean it. If one means what they do in a fight, is that not a projection of your true character? Lee went on to elaborate on this mentality, stating that a martial artist (or in our example, one taking part in a fight) should not become tense, but ready... and that when there is an opportunity, one does not hit, but rather it hits all by itself. This is an extension of Lee's philosophy on what it means to fight. By emptying the mind of all thoughts related to ego and self, a fighter becomes immersed in the now. Nothing else matters.
With all this in mind, encouraging teammates to settle their differences in the boxing ring could be an effective means to foster closer relations, while settling any disputes naturally. Consider that it is normal for combatants to embrace one another at the end of a fight. Think about that. They just spent 25-30 minutes trying to knock each other out in some cases, and yet, at the end of it all, they embrace. A show of love and respect. This is just proof of Seraph's theory that you only know someone once you fight them. And when you truly know someone, love and respect comes easily.
