    I know its kinda off topic but I talked to some MMA guys who did some kind of hypnotism **** and now theyre as relaxed when fighting as if taking a walk. or so they say

    No problem .. remember fighting is not natural , so its perfectly natural that you will be nervous or even sick .
    But it also important for a train athlete to recognize this nerviness as good thing not a bad thing, learn to embrace it and use it to focus ..

    Also note if you have done everything humanly possible to get in shape , you will notice that your fear and nervousness will turn to confidence , when it get down to it your not afraid of losing , your afraid of looking bad.

    Yeah, I think your right. I'm not afraid of losing...Like I said I'm fighting some people that are so much more superior than me, and I'm one of those people who will admit if I get caught real good, or even admit "I got my ass kicked." Usually though I always make sure I get them back, or even if I said I got my ass beat it was a competitive fight where I lost. So yeah...Guess I'm afraid of not doing well, and looking badly.
    Thanks for all your comments. It's pretty comforting to see that my little bit of nerves are a good thing after trying so hard to fight them. Sometimes trying to fight things (such as your mind basically) seems to make it even worse because you think about it so much more, and worry about it. Whenever you know it's common, and you *should* feel a certain way, and there's certain things in life you'll never completely beat then there's no reason to battle, and think about them anymore. Think my nerves will get a lot better with this more positive mentality.
