The original question was about the possibility of using anger in a very specific situations. I would, however suggest using the term aggression instead of anger. Anger is a derivative emotion it is a strong fear component in it which makes it weaker. Aggression or rage is the primary physiological state. It is one of the two basic responses to danger: Fight or Flee. If you find yourself physically threatened and you consider yourself stronger - aggression is your best friend. Otherwise, it is better to run away, however humiliating this can seem.
So the answer is yes, it is possible. Boxing or combat or street fight are the best situations to use aggression. Martial arts are too different to make generalizations.
The general rule is: the better you fighting skills, the less should be your reliance on aggression. A skilled martial artist would defeat several aggressive mobsters without loosing peace of mind. But such mastery requires practice.
