I just recieved my purple belt (for us this is the belt just below brown) in American Karate. At this level we really start to focus on self defense. In class we practice on each other but we never go "full out" as nobody would appreciate a broken elbow or knee (or worse). I am conserned that I may preform in real life the way I have been practicing. Am I right to be concerned about this, or will adrenaline take over and cause me to follow through? How do you practice your self defence techniques? I am mostly asking this of martial artists, but I welcome all input. Thanks in advance for you help.
