Why do I tense up under stress?

Stress tensing is involuntary muscle contraction triggered by adrenaline. Useful against cold or to absorb a hit, but useless against an attacker — it freezes movement.

Porque acontece — o mecanismo

Adrenaline contracts all striated muscles in 0.3 second via the sympathetic system. This general tetany prevents fluid movement. Shoulders rise, hips lock, knees stiffen. Side effect: post-stress shaking when the discharge releases.

Como o Sistema Avikzar lhe responde

The Avikzar System teaches 4-count breathing (4-4-4-4) when entering a tense situation. This activates the ventral vagal and breaks tetany in under 3 breath cycles.

Yehouda Avikzar (10º Dan) — O freeze não é culpa sua — é a sua biologia. Mas treinar depois de ter vivido um, isso é responsabilidade sua.
