How to deal with fear
Fear prior a fight or sparring is usually insecurity in your strength & weaknesses.
I agree with Benny Urquidez when he says knowledge is power.
One must practice both striking & grappling as well as condition once body to take impact.
I would study a variety of Martial Arts like the following:
Muay Thai Kickboxing, Grappling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Sambo, Krav Maga, Boxing, Kyokushinkai Karate, Wing Chun, Aikido, & Jeet Kune Do.
One needs to do a lot of: sparring, grappling, throwing, & striking. Mixing the Arts is the key. And so is stamina lots of running bagwork skipping stomach conditioning & Weight Training.
You must train for speed explosiveness stamina & strength.
Also Shin Conditioning & The ability to take impact.
Use your shoulders to take impact learn to move out the way of a kick or punch rapidly & striking back at the same time.
I also think powerlifting can help with building aggression.
And remember the way you train is the way you fight.
Focus skill agression strength & speed the keys to winning a fight.
