It's not all the adrenaline rush that's making you act that way. It's an elevated heart rate brought on by combat stress or fear.
It's a physiological reaction. There are several ways to deal with it.
Combat breathing.
Better cardio training.
Better martial arts training.
Mental focus.
What's happening is that as your heart rate is being elevated by combat induced stress your body is shifting from cognitive brain to mammalian brain, the hind brain.
A great quote states, "In combat you do not rise to the occasion. You fall to your highest level of training."
A great book about this is called On Combat by Lt Col. Dave Grossman.
I would suggest training more realistically. Get in better shape. Work on controlling fear. Work on breathing.
Without being there, that's about all I can suggest.

You have to try to mimic the adrenaline dump when you train. That will help. |
Agreed.
At some point during your training you must try your techniques under circumstances that closely replicate the situations you hope to use them in. This includes the psychological aspects. |

You also need to have them spar you or approach you in such a way that mimics an attack; not a sparring match. There is a difference. Start by having him push you from behind, or something like that. See what that does for you. _________________ www.haysgym.com

Agreed. Fights dont start from a distance with a bow. They start close up, generally with a verbal onslaught or some other form of psychological attack before the physical even begins. This is where the fear comes from. |

In all of the instances that I have dealt with so far, I have found out that I would rather the situation just start abruptly without warning, as opposed to being faced with someone who is yelling and threatening, and building up the situation. That way, I don't have any time to "think" about the situation; I am just forced to react. _________________ www.haysgym.com

One of the positives of someone yelling, is that you have a much greater chance to difuse the situation rather than it turning physical without warning. |
