Why do most people get scared before a fight?

Question

Well I have a friend who does boxing, bjj, and muay thai. And when hes in a street fight he is never scared and 'laughs' during his fight. Why is'nt he scared? Is it because he already 'knows' how to? How?

Should I start taking these classes?

Answer 1

he probley doesnt get scared because he is use to fighting he would have confidence to fight he does boxing

Answer 2

When training a deadly sport like martial arts, you're fists and legs is a very deadly weapon, wich gives you and advantage and your subconscience knows this and you will get less scared, because your odds of winning the fight is high. When not training or never been in a fight, your subconscience knows that fighting a stranger on the street is very dangerous. Otherwise if you are sparring a guy in boxing, your subconscience knows that if you get hurt, the other guy will stop and see if you are okay. It is a total normal feeling getting scared before a street fight.
