Martial Arts and adrenaline good or bad?
ok ive been doin taekwondo for a long time and recently started mauy thai
im aware that as a Martial Artist in mauy thai and tkd we are trained to be conscious however tht means we must control adrenaline in our body
if we control adrenaline then we can be aware of the fight and think however, adrenaline stops pain receptord tht means if we fight normally adrenaline is stoping us from feeling pain in the fight
so if we learn 2 control adrenline in martial arts we will feel pain in a fight? and im talkin bout a real fight no protective gear or a street fight?
Adrenaline is released when your sympathetic nervous system is activated. This basically means that when you are threatened your body goes into "flight or fight" mode. All of the physiological changes that the SNS affects have historically helped an individual to survive.
Some of the changes include:
Pupil dialation to improve vision; however peripheral vision is lost (Tunnel vision)
Increased heart rate and inhalation rate to both take in more oxygen and pump it throughout your body
Blood vessels dialate in muscles to allow for more oxygen and glucose intake (cell fuel).
Once these changes begin your body's natural reactions are relied upon. The problem with martial arts and adrenaline is if your system is not used to the techniques during an SNS response; in these cases the body resorts to more primative attacks. Through conditioning, you can train your body to call upon martial techniques during SNS respsonses.
