In order for the fight to end in victory, in addition to the power of the blow and skill, the athlete needs the ability to endure pain. All fights between two opponents, be it boxing or wrestling, are accompanied by blows, injuries, painful holds that must be stoically endured.
Instructions
Step 1
The pain sometimes becomes unbearable, mostly this happens with a strong destructive effect on the body. The body signals to the person that he needs to somehow react and change the tactics of action. This does not always meet the needs of the athlete at a particular moment, so athletes want to lower their sensitivity a little so that it does not interfere with their victory.
Step 2
At the psychological level, pain oppresses and plunges a person into a state of panic. Sensitivity varies from person to person. There is increased (hyperalgesia) and decreased (hypoalgesia), but may be absent altogether (analgesia). Doctors have noticed that men feel prolonged pain more acutely than women.
Step 3
It is difficult to adapt to painful sensations, this process is divided into physiological and psychological. And in both cases, you need training and consistency. Gradually, under the influence of repeated and prolonged influences (blows), a restructuring of the body's functions occurs, which pushes the framework set by nature. In a word, there is an addiction to pain, sensitivity from impacts decreases.
Step 4
Japanese ninja literally from birth began to teach their babies to pain. Light slaps and pinches were gradually replaced by rather strong blows. In the final stage, the older children endured regular beatings with a faceted wooden stick. Such kids turned out to be legendary warriors, it seemed, could overcome anything and everything.
Step 5
Modern science has confirmed the effectiveness of this method in rats. The adults who grew up from the rats participating in the experiment were strikingly different from ordinary animals. They proved to be resistant not only to pain and injury, but also to hunger and cold.
Step 6
Physical adaptation to pain is inextricably linked with psychological adaptation. The cerebral cortex is capable of softening or completely removing a person's sensitivity. When an athlete feels that his injury is not fatal, he is able to disconnect from the pain and focus on winning. There are cases when wrestlers with broken bones, dislocations and cracks became champions.
Step 7
The athlete needs to come to terms with the fact that it will hurt in advance. In this case, what happened will not be a surprise and will not cause a panic desire to surrender. Thus, it becomes clear that the victory over pain consists of physical training and volitional effort of the athlete.
