It helps if you do some boxing sparring and realize that even getting jabbed in the nose then hooked in the side of the head by even a Golden Gloves champ doesn't hurt THAT much.
Seriously...only way to get over a fear of getting hit is to start taking some shots...know what you can afford to take and what's going to seriously cost you in pain tolerance points.
From there, you should also learn HOW to take a hit...eg take it on the forehead vice the nose/chin.
If you think your groundwork sucks, take some BJJ classes near you.
