When I fight -- though as noted, it's been a while -- I tend to smile and laugh, even as I take one to the face. This has a tendency to really freak people out, or to enrage them even further, but I can't help it. I truly have a good time when I'm fighting -- unless it's because you've said something about my mom -- even when I happen to come out on the bottom.
The heart pumps, the lungs burn, your muscles twitch with adrenal energy... For me, I really believe that endorphins flood my body. In all, I think it's an incredibly euphoric experience.
Maybe this is because I've lost a relatively small amount of fights for the number I've been in. I'm small, but I'm rugged as fuck 'cause all my best friends were highly ranked (red belt through 3rd dan) in TKD, and they loved to spar with me when I first started.
Once you've had a 3rd dan land a combination turning hook-round-turning crescent to the head, body, head, respectively, a punch or two isn't gonna do much to faze ya.

I've never been in a fight unless you count with my brother, but that's boring. Ha ha. I've been in a bunch of close encounters, but I usually talk my way out of one if I can. If talking doesn't work, then I simply state that if the person doesn't "back down" from pissing me off, then I'll seriously punch them square in the face. This actually works most of the time. I don't know why, but if you tell someone that if they continue to do whatever they're doing that's against you you'll punch them in the face, they always stop. In my cases, anyway.
