Fear is the last thing that should come to any athlete taking part in combat sports. We can describe a brave person as a person who earns his living by fighting fierce people in the ring. If you have spent time sparring in the gym, you know how brutal the art can be.

Fighting is part and parcel of human nature, but it does not occur naturally. One must prepare themselves both physically and mentally before any fight. Great fighters should also react well to punches aimed at their face.
