I have a rather large karate test coming up and to honest I'm scared to death of how bad I will get the crap kicked out of me. However even though I'm frightened I know that I will do fine. I know if I can calm my nerves I will be able to relax and have an awesome test. Anyway getting to the point, how do you deal with the nervous anticipation preceding a large event?

I know how you feel. When I first started Taijutsu I was always nervous about tests, but I quickly learned to enjoy them. Anyway, you could calm down by thinking of other things besides the test. Oh and, what I do is a train a little bit to reassure myself of my ability and I always do fine.

Taking deep breaths and just closing out everything else around you kinda helps... I do that for when I have to do public speaking, it does help at times reducing those nerves...

I usually just try to keep my mind off of the things that are making me nervous. If that doesn't work, I reassure myself that there is nothing to worry about. Although, it takes a lot to make me nervous, at least as far as tests go, so I don't find myself having to do that much.

If youre nervous about something, the best thing you can do beforehand is practice a lot. Not only does it give you more experience, but eventually your body will stop releasing the hormones that stimulate nervousness. Nervousness can also be prevented by simple (over)confidence.
I used to be scared over exams until I started to recieve my grades, which gave me a confidence boost. After doing it a lot, now I find it normal to calmly walk in, pwn them and calmly walk out again. ^^


If you really wanted you could also purchase something called a Beta Blocker. They are harmless drugs that when taken inhibit areas of your body that the hormones cause responses. Basically it prevents you from being nervous (e.g stops you feeling scared, prevents shaking, controls heart rate, reduces sweating and so on).

I have the same problem with Presentations in school. I know there is nothing to worry about but I still get scared. I just try to relax or practice until its time to go.

Lesse here..

If it's something I do not like doing, to get rid of some of that nervousness, I tend to read my heart out. Such as when i'm in school during project presintations, I'll sit there hiding my book from the teacher. But that kinda makes me nervous to have to hide it, waiting for him to figure me out...

When I'm nervous before something, I usually sit down and take deep breaths and moan a bit, lol. If I am nervous about something big or scary, I just think to myself that it will be ok and it will be only a matter of time before I won't be nervous anymore. I never bite my nails normally but if I am really really really nervous then I will alot. Oh yeah and I can get really shy sometimes.

Thanks for all the help guys, after my class tonight I feel better but there still is that nagging fear tapping on the shoulder. Also I have almost no finger nail left. XD

Aww... No problem. You know, once you're done with your Karate Test, it will be over. And then you'll be able to sigh. ^^

I hear that tobacco helps calm your nerves...or if you don't want cancer you could just focus on what you have to do and go into the test with a positive confident attitude.

When I'm nervous I will walk around a lot. I can never sit still when I'm nervous. Sometimes I bite my nails. But not that often.
Ahh pacing. Something I always do as well. It doesn't calm me down much, it really just a reason for me to get out of my chair, but since I'll do it several times in succession it's more like a reflex to stress now if anything.

But yeah, just trying to put things in perspective usually work. Either that or getting absorbed in conversations for a few hours XD

Anywho good luck!

My teacher bought me this thingy from Greece. You swing it around your hand, and it makes you look so cool, you concentrate on IT and not what your nervous about XD

That's not it, and I know it. It's the fact that your just concentrating on it that you stop worrying. It works great for me!

Hey that's what I'm gonna say....xD
Well usually I just do what Razer said to occupy my mind in something, even though that doesn't help me clam down
Usually I just freaked out at the last 5 minutes and uh...Talked to someone and then when it's 30 sec before showdown..I usually forgoet what I'm suppose to do cause well, somebody distracted me...xD
but then to destroy my Nervousness, I just try to not think about it at all...
