Yeah I agree in general in life less fear is better. But for people learning to defend themselves for real, then you need to learn how do deal with the inherent fear of a violent situation and how people will act.. yell, swear, push you, go crazy.

It's learning to control that fear so that it doesn't overwhelm you. It doesn't matter how good your technique is if you can't handle that fear.

It's not just inducing the fear for the sake of it, it is for a specific reason.

How much of that fear is preventing you from losing weight? I suggest that instead of intentionally inducing fear, you achieve a level of skill that precludes fear. Fear is only useful for controlling people... and even then, it is to be avoided as much as possible. You would seem to be living proof of one of the reasons why.
