Fear of fights and physical activities

Fear of fights is not a disorder

It’s very important to know that fear of fights is neither a disorder nor a personal problem, and that this page is only important for you if this fear is so intense so that it makes you let go of your rights in order to avoid getting involved into a fight

normal people don’t like to fight

As normal people we should not be happy to find our selves involved in a fight, because we may hurt someone, hurt ourselves or even both. However some people tend to have less appetite for physical activities than other people. They like to avoid physical effort of all kinds, and of course that makes the idea of fighting horrible.

why do I fear fights more than others?

The answer to this question lies within one of the following possibilities; one of them may be your case or even more than one, read them all to know more about yourself:

  • oversensitivity and fear:are you an overly sensitive person? over sensitive people tend to hate physical activities much more than other people, if you are an over sensitive person most probably one of your tasks in life will be trying to avoid fights or severe physical activities at any cost.
  • lack of fighting experience: do you remember the first time you started driving a car? Weren’t you a little afraid? Or at least you were much afraid than you are now after experiencing driving for years. Self confidence for a certain activity is built when the activity is done many times successfully, if you have never got involved into a fight before most probably you will fear fights more than someone who gets involved into a new fight everyday.
  • lack of confidence in your fighting abilities: the reason for fear of fights too could be lack of confidence in your ability to win the fight, after all if you were sure one hundred percent that you could win the fight you may have not became afraid. Getting involved into any kind of martial arts training will reduce that fear gradually.
  • bad previous experience: if you have had many fights before where you have been knocked down, most probably your previous experience will be developed into a fear of getting involved into any new fight, because you will be sure then that the past will repeat itself.

finally, fighting is something bad

Fighting is a bad activity; you should not get involved into a fight unless you have no other choice, if you have new fights each day, make sure you learn more about anger management. My advice is, although fighting is bad, being not sure of your abilities to defend yourself is bad too, so its very helpful to start martial arts training, Aikido is the most recommended martial art because of many reasons, its not an aggressive sport so in case you that are sensitive you wont find training a bad experience, aikido is a one hundred percent defensive game you can never start a move unless your opponent attacks first, aikido techniques are very effective if mastered, however the only draw back to aikido is that it takes more time to be learned compared to other martial arts like boxing or kung fu.
