This is a good way to deal with it. I won't say the best though.

Here are some techniques:

Write the person's name or issue you're angry about on a piece of paper, tape it to the wall, and throw a koosh ball at it.

Twist a towel as tightly as you can.

Lay on your back on the bed, and punch the mattress by flinging your arms out to the sides.

Hit the mattress with a broomstick.

Scream into a pillow.

Put things on the floor (even laundry will do) and stomp them like you're Godzilla.

Remove yourself from the situation if possible.

Exercise

Play some games on Console or computer

Listen to some music

Turn the anger and negativity you're feeling into a positive by channeling it into writing, art, or anything else creative.

I use it to motivate me. I focus it and channel it into a plan which I then execute. I anneal the hot anger into cold hard anger. There is an inevitable price to pay for this though.

I learned to listen to metal, it helped me a lot. When it wasnt enough I turn the volume up and started screaming my negative thoughts. After a while I usually feel calm but tired and depressed sometimes.

I disagree with a lot of these because of my therapist. I kinda agree. You can see it in fucked up families where one side physically attacks the other - they have a human punching bag of sorts, and so they express their anger by using that human as a punching bag.

Before expressing your anger, however, as per my therapists instructions, I find that acknowledging your anger is also an important step, just taking a moment to say (or scream) "this thing is making me angry". Especially if you're male.
Second, I propose expressing your anger physically via punching bag or screaming into a pillow or the such should be done sparsely as to not transform yourself into the titular "Kyle" who sustains on Monster energy drinks and punching holes in drywall walls.
A punching bag sounds like a solid choice, in my opinion, screaming into pillows I think would be less effective, although having not tried either, it's merely a hypothesis.

My brain is broken, so I deal with my anger by taking a walk and talking to myself, holding a sort of dialogue with myself. Most of the time it works. I do this because I can't "excite", for lack of a better word, myself physically too hard.
