During the potential for violence is when the fight or flight syndrome kicks in.
Your mind’s desire to perform what you learned in martial arts training is in direct conflict with your natural reflexive response, fight or flight syndrome and flinch mechanism.
This is why it is imperative that you look at how you instinctively move and respond to sudden and surprise attacks and learn how to offensively and defensively bind your combative strategy to it so that the nucleus of your arsenal is your core reflex.

  fight or flight reaction. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
For example, if a person is faced with danger (as from a vicious animal about to attack), the nervous system signals for adrenaline and other hormones to be released into the blood.
These hormones prepare the body either to confront the attacking animal or to flee to safety (thus, “fight or flight”).
Changes in the body include increased heart rate, dilated pupils of the eye (to improve vision), and increased supply of blood to the muscles (to prepare the body for action).

 Fight-or-flight response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flight or fight response, also called the "acute stress response", was first described by Walter Cannon in the [[ as a theory that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system.
They can either face the threat ("fight"), or they can avoid the threat ("flight").
The onset of a stress response is associated with specific physiological actions in the sympathetic nervous system, both directly and indirectly through the release of epinephrine and to a lesser extent norepinephrine from the medulla of the adrenal glands.

 Fight, Flight & Freeze   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The "fight or flight" instinct is something we all recognize in horses and tend to just accept.
While the "fight or flight" reflex is recognized the "freeze" reflex is one that is usually never considered.
The "freeze" reflex, like the "fight and flight" reflexes can be overridden by teaching the horse to lower the head, normalize the breathing and stroke the body with the wand to "connect" the body to the brain.

 What is the Fight or Flight Response Mechanism - Anxiety and Panic Disorder LA
What is the Fight or Flight Response Mechanism - Anxiety and Panic Disorder LA All organisms have been given a fight or flight response mechanism that protects and preserves them.
When we experience a danger or a threat, the fight or flight response kicks in, adrenaline and other chemicals are activated and physical symptoms occur, rapid heart rate, palpitations, increase in blood pressure, etc. For most people these debilitating symptoms taper off and the body is restored back to it’s normal state.
This is crucial in preparation for fight or flight because it pumps blood more rapidly to the needed areas of the body.

 Terrorism's fight-or-flight

 fight
Fight-or-flight is an ancient sympathetic response pattern which, in the aquatic brain, accelerated heartbeat rate, raised blood-sugar level, and released hormones from the adrenal gland, preparing an alarmed fish to chase-and-bite, or to turn-tail-and-flee.
Also called the "fight, fright or flight" response, the sympathetic nervous system may telegraph its state of mind in the whiteness (i.e., pallor) or redness (i.e., flushing) of the face.
Pallor, associated with extreme fear or anger (i.e., rage), is caused by vasoconstriction of the facial blood vessels, brought on by the release of large amounts of adrenaline and noradrenaline.

 The Fight or Flight Response
The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival.
When our fight or flight response is activated, sequences of nerve cell firing occur and chemicals like adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol are released into our bloodstream.
Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from the proverbial saber tooth tigers that once lurked in the woods and fields around us, threatening our physical survival.

 Stress and the Sexes
If you've taken a psychology course in the past 50 years, you're familiar with the concept of "fight or flight" -- the supposedly automatic human stress response that has been linked to all sorts of health problems, including heart disease.
But new research -- drawing on psychology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience -- shows that there are distinct differences in how men and women react to stressors or aggressors.
While men will fight -- or simply hide -- women have a stronger instinct to "tend and befriend," says Shelley E. Taylor, PhD, a psychology professor at UCLA and author of The Tending Instinct.
