Gross vs. Fine Motor Skills
Fear drains a person of his will to fight; it denies him the ability to mount a sufficient defense. Fear reduces a strong man or woman to inaction. Fear makes us cower in a corner, look for a way out, or stand quietly at the sidelines unable to act. Fear eats our souls, little by little. Fear steals from us our fine motor skills. When we are afraid we can no longer poke an adversary in the eye, apply a joint lock, or coordinate movement for a throw or takedown. The conquest of fear lies in the understanding of fear and in its acceptance. We drill the same techniques over and over in the training hall, we drill thousands of times, we drill with the intent of letting muscle memory take over in a dramatic situation, we drill so that we can respond automatically and don't have to think. The idea is sound, but the failing element lies in the lack of realistic stress in training. To understand fear, you must introduce uncertainty, chaos, and pain to your training regimen. Not until your body has experienced stress in a semi-realistic way can it relate the techniques you learn to your performance in a real encounter.

Pressing the Attack
In martial arts competition or on the street one fighter normally dominates the other; it is how fights are won. Once you start viewing the arena as yours and yours alone, your mindset should be to press the attack. Offense is essential because only offense can hurt your opponent enough to demolish his fighting spirit and force him to retreat. Any good offensive strategy consists at least of some forward movement where momentum helps you take advantage of your opponent's retreat. Pressing the attack helps you establish command presence by positively demonstrating that you control the arena. Pressing the attack is not about displaying uncontrolled rage, however. Rather, it means that you resolve to stay a step ahead in strategy and tactics at all times. Strategy involves a calculating mind, good defense, and even retreat at times. The winning strategy is this: Think offense; think forward; think one more step.

Force and Single Strike Damage
When you attempt to break a board and fail, there is a simple solution: Hit harder. Although it is tempting to engage in such elusive concepts as "striking through the target" and "extending ki," understand that a board breaks only under the stress of a specific amount of force which can be pre-calculated. The lesson is that no matter what you choose to call the force, you cannot expect to do damage unless you strike straight. No matter how powerful, attacks fail when the direction of force is misunderstood or misapplied. This book focuses on the single strike or single technique concept to end a fight, primarily on the street where you are looking for a quick and decisive victory over your adversary. The focus is on overwhelming force resulting in disruption and defeat. Formidable Fighter: The Complete Series, a compilation of all 14 books in this series, is available in both electronic and print format.
Managing Pain
Strength, intent, tolerance to physical contact . . . these are principles that condition you to be in charge, control the arena, dominate your opponent, and win the fight. Good martial art training strengthens your resolve; it sharpens your reflexes and makes you tougher. Most of us can tolerate a great deal of pain, as long as we can prevent our mental discomfort from sidetracking us. Physical pain tolerance prepares you for mental pain tolerance. The moment your physical pain threshold crumbles, so will your mental pain threshold, and vice versa. This bit of knowledge can help you survive a physical confrontation. Fighting is violent and training in violence, to execute it and protect against it, is necessary to understand violence. Some people are naturally more tolerant of pain than others. What is painful to me may not even faze you. A little bit of pain in training can give you insight into what it is like to be engaged in a physical confrontation, and teach you something about your combat spirit and how far you are willing to go to protect yourself and others. How you react to pain is an important part of your self-assessment as a martial artist. Knowing how to inflict pain on your opponent to make him do your bidding is equally important.
