Is this something that comes with more training and fight experience? I did my first Kickboxing/thai boxing tourny and finished 1st and 2nd and had to pull out of the Thai rules category because i felt very faint. My cartio is relativly good, i can train for 1.5 hours and feel good, i went for a jog the morning of for 45 minutes to get my blood going, but the minute and a half round i honestly felt horrible.

I realize i may have been nervouse, but i do have past experience with sports and playing in front of lots of people so i didnt really get an adrenaline dump, i could think clearly threw the whole round and i was very controlled, i just didnt breath. My buddy took video and after my first fight my face is pail and my lips are a bright purple it almost looks like i am walking dead.

I feel like i can blame it a bit on not being allowed to use full power, because when i train on thai pads or a heavy bag i tend to "grunt" while throwing hard, but it just seemed i wasnt making any sound when i was in those matches probably because i was holding my breath.

Does anyone have advice or some tricks they use?
