I think this incident shows up a definate weakness in your training. You need more of a challenge in your training. More uncertainty with respect to outcomes in would be good.
In other words I think it would be helpful for you to trigger your adrenal response more in training. This could be done in two ways. The first would be to engage in active competition where you are unsure of the outcome. This would help you to adapt to stress in a combat situation. The second option, if you are opposed to competition, would be to simulate some aggressive encounters in your training. For example, have all the other students gather at one end of the mat with you at the other end. Each could approach you and verbally abuse you in a realistic manner. If you wanted to take this further they could then launch a realistic attack which you could attempt to counter. It would be better if you tried this sort of exercise with people you are wary of in training.
