How to control fear and axiety leading up to a fight part 2

I am posting these in a specific order so if you have not read the first in the series please check it out - http://raptorfightclub.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-control-fear-and-axiety-leading.html

As we were talking about last week, it is important to have tools to deal with the sometimes debilitating fear and anxiety that we experience in the months, weeks, days and seconds leading up to a fight or, for that matter, any of life's stressful situations where we are called upon to perform. We are wired to run away from pain and physical damage and yet, fighting requires us to trust our technique and training, let go of the instinct to bolt and put ourselves in harm's way. As I tell my students often, throwing a punch requires a great leap of faith, putting your head right into it is necessary, this is what we call; "committing your technique". If we don't commit our technique, if we are thinking about what he is going to do to us when we step forward to kick, punch or double leg take-down we will come up short every time.
The first step is to calm the mind and control the flow of adrenalin, become the master of our fear. Here is tool #2, practicing this over time will give you much more control and make it easier to use the tools I will be writing about in the remaining parts of the series.

Tool #2. "The Breath part 1": This breathing technique I adapted (ripped off) from Yoga.
Try doing this after every interval or physical training session that leaves you out of breath, preferably gasping!
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, keeping your tongue on the roof of your mouth and pulling your belly button inwards as though towards your spine. As you breath in, bring your hands up in an arcing fashion until they meet above your head and gaze upwards then arc the hands back down as you breath out and slowly bending the knees until you are tucked down in a ball.
The trick is to force your heart to slow down by deliberately slowing the breath. The adrenal system is wired to force you to breath heavily and your heart to beat faster when the need for oxygen is greater. When you slow the breath you feel almost desperate to gulp some air but you will try to overcome this and be the boss of your adrenalin flow, don't worry, you are getting plenty of air with the deep breathing.
I use this after "Burst" training - doing an interval that leaves me completely out of breath -. After each interval I slow my breath and heart rate down.
I will post a video of this this week to help.
