It seems strange having doubt and fear at the pre fight situation and not wanting to fight. And when you pass the initial fear and have a few fights under your belt you decide you don't want to fight.

Wow, Geoff really brought back some memories for me. I trained in Shotokan by Andy Sherry, Bob Poynton, and Frank Brennan in their Liverpool club. Master Keinosuke Enoeda used to come over to dish out the Dan grades. It was pretty tough. But, as Geoff states, the style was not great for 'In Your Face' combat. I also moved into the Judo arena. But, it all helps, I guess. :-)

Wow after 45 years of my life now I have some answers to my nightmares , since I was young , I’m a 50 year old Hispanic male , wich loved Martin arts but cause of the major chronic anxieties at a young age and even being raised under a narcissistic Religious mother full of fear and torment aswell from y own father , these poisons are the major contributing factors that have left me a mess .. Not to mention the emotional abuse at home since I was little.. it left me a chronic mess .. I’m surprised he don’t mention anger , so then anger is not a poison ?

Why do we feel fear? Simple it's a built-in subconscious protection system.
