Martial_Artist Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's not all the adrenaline rush that's making you act that way. It's an elevated heart rate brought on by combat stress or fear.It's a physiological reaction. There are several ways to deal with it.Combat breathing.Better cardio training.Better martial arts training.Mental focus.What's happening is that as your heart rate is being elevated by combat induced stress your body is shifting from cognitive brain to mammalian brain, the hind brain.A great quote states, "In combat you do not rise to the occasion. You fall to your highest level of training."A great book about this is called On Combat by Lt Col. Dave Grossman.I would suggest training more realistically. Get in better shape. Work on controlling fear. Work on breathing.Without being there, that's about all I can suggest.MA "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 You have to try to mimic the adrenaline dump when you train. That will help. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 You have to try to mimic the adrenaline dump when you train. That will help.Agreed.At some point during your training you must try your techniques under circumstances that closely replicate the situations you hope to use them in. This includes the psychological aspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushido_man96 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thank you everyone for the help i will ask my sensei to have someone spar with me that i have never fought against or am not used to fighting against You also need to have them spar you or approach you in such a way that mimics an attack; not a sparring match. There is a difference. Start by having him push you from behind, or something like that. See what that does for you. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They start close up, generally with a verbal onslaught or some other form of psychological attack before the physical even begins. This is where the fear comes from.

bushido_man96 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 In all of the instances that I have dealt with so far, I have found out that I would rather the situation just start abruptly without warning, as opposed to being faced with someone who is yelling and threatening, and building up the situation. That way, I don't have any time to "think" about the situation; I am just forced to react. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
