BREATHE! focus on your breathing in through the nose out through the mouth like you should have been taught by now if your trainer is worth his salt. if you feel frozen like you cant make a move remember to exhale as you exert force. this not only seems to help you focus your power it also locks down your abdomen muscles bracing you for an impact. almost all fighting arts have an exhalation technique to help with striking from the "ISHHHHH" of the Muay Thai boxer to the "KIAP" of the Karateka. Listen to a boxing match and hear the fighters exhaling with each strike/s. try and keep your tongue pressed to the roof of your mouth (so you dont bite it off) and your jaw set firm but not grinding it. thats just my two cents.
