How to Manage Stress Before, During, And After A Fight

Understanding the effects of stress before, during, and after a fight can help you prepare, survive, and recover.
It may also help manage other events in your life that cause an adrenaline flood.
There are a wide variety of things in life that can trigger stress.
Even if you can’t change them, it can help to understand what is happening and what you CAN do to maintain the appropriate level of arousal for the task you need to do.

==================

There is a lot of information available about the specific effects of adrenaline and other stress hormones in your body, but we are not doctors, and you are not in medical school, so we didn’t go very in depth with that information. Please understand that we simplified it in the video to save time, and not stray too far from the topic, but that doesn’t mean it’s all we know about it.
If you are interested, the information is out there.

===================

Welcome to the Swordmastery Channel!
I am Maître Linda Wyatt.
My Fencing Master, Maître Adam Adrian Crown, has 40+ years’ experience as a Fencing Master, and is also a 5th Degree Black Belt (Godan) in Chinese Goju Karate.
This channel shares our dedication to fencing as a martial art, or, if you will, martial arts, from the viewpoint of the sword.
The videos cover everything from specific technique, to philosophical discussions, to our teaching methods, and much of it applies to far more than fencing.
We don’t study the sword and nothing else.
We study the sword and EVERYTHING else.
We look for connections between seemingly unrelated things to discover universal principles that apply to all things.
If you’re interested in what a pair of classically trained Fencing Masters have to share about fencing, the sword, training, martial arts, combat theory, teaching, or how things are all connected, this is the place for you.
