Now, one exception I think perhaps to my view that you can control the situation to remove the fear, is perhaps styles that involve competition, although I do not know if that would even be considered 'practice'. Since those of us in non-competition styles get told Aikido is too dangerous to have competition safely, and since I don't know what those competitions involve, that kind of practice may have too many uncontrollable risks that could lead to fear. But I would think it wouldn't be any more risky than randori.
