I found this article and I was wondering if you thought his comment here is a contributing attribute to succeeding in fights. It's from http://judoinfo.com/kimura2.htm
"It was my first Vale Tudo experience. That night, my face was badly swollen. I had a number of cuts on my face. Every time I breathed, an excruciating pain ran through my belly, and I could not sleep. I received an injection from a doctor, and cooled my belly with a cold towel all night. However, I learned a very important lesson in this fight. That is, one must never fear death. If I had not had the iron will to fight despite the possibility of getting killed, his head butts would have torn my intestine into pieces."
I was wondering because of your background in the Marine Corps and full-contact matches. Is it the fear of death of injury that could cause more injury or holds people back from realizing more?
