But how to overcome the fear of a fight? This question requires a specific answer, which is not easy to find when there is a threat to life.
For many centuries, mankind has sought methods to combat the fear of entering into physical conflict with those who seem stronger. This is due to the fact that otherwise it would be impossible to survive in extreme situations or in a hostile environment.
There are several methods to overcome fear.
For example, alcohol. Not the best and not recommended method, but it found application in the Great Patriotic War. In order to overcome the fear of the attack, the soldiers were given 100 grams of people's commissar of vodka. Alcohol dulled the instinct of self-preservation, and the warrior fearlessly rushed to the attack, not noticing the real danger. Compared to other methods, vodka seems to be a very loyal means, since there have been more stringent methods in the history of wars.
There is an ancient way of dealing with fear called "entering the image." It is based on self-hypnosis, it is used in wushu fighting, as well as fighting schools in India.
Man consciously abandons his essence, makes himself feel like a predator or some kind of deity. In this case, the initial personality model is removed along with fear. This, to some extent, is the destruction of personality, as some scholars believe. Self-hypnosis completely subordinates the consciousness of man, and in a fight he turns out to be an insensitive beast.
In the following method, a person does not attach his consciousness and actions to consequences, and all attention is switched to a fight. Internal evaluation functions are completely disabled. He sees in front of him exclusively the enemy, his main goal is a fight. A person moves automatically and without unnecessary emotions. In such a situation, the internal mood dominates - calm. A man is prudent, his actions are consistent and relaxed, there is no fear at all.
How to overcome fear? The method “Ascetic or Monk's Way”, based on the traditions of Japan and China, will help you in this matter. It consists in the fact that a person mentally scrolls and experiences moments of his own death. It is the awareness of death that is accepted by man as a manifestation of life itself. Imagining himself dead, he completely feels free and ceases to cling to life. A person with such a consciousness is an ideal soldier, he completely devotes himself to the fight against enemies. He no longer needs to worry about getting rid of the fear that is present, because he has already come to terms with death.
If there is a fight, then how to overcome fear? You can use this method as well - just honestly admit to yourself that you are afraid of this situation, but really imagine the humiliation that will happen if you leave the battlefield. If your opponent is standing in front of you, set yourself an attitude for victory and, as it were, scroll this moment of victory in your head.
For example, if you are currently smoking, take a little time, but at the same time build a scenario of your attack. Keep an eye on your opponent’s weaknesses. Thus, a certain sequence of attack on the enemy is developed. Scroll this preparatory moment several times in your mind, and then - boldly attack. Everything else will go automatically.
If you have already hit, think only about this and nothing more. The first blow is decisive, and it is programmed by you, and the subconscious mind is set to win. You will fight fiercely, the instinct of human self-preservation has not let anyone down yet.
