The best solution really is to go with a group. Not only to prevent the embarassing situation of wondering who might see you fall, but it really helps with training. If there is a move you can't quite figure out, someone in your group might have a different perspective to help you. It's also good to have a group for safety reasons. If you're practicing at night or where there is nobody around, you could hurt yourself and no one would be around to help. Even if it is just one or two friends, the group approach really helps.

Any one with the fear of practicing in public. I know you pain/curse. I can barely do anything in public unless i have a freind or someone with me. Im really anxious. I get nevous walking down the street if I see someone else walking twards me. It gets really annoying to me. But for the whole training in public thing taking some one along with me to help train keeps my mind off of people and keeps it on what we are doing and it helps me by pushing to get something down with the help of the freind.

thats just another road block that you need to overcome, just as a fear of hurting your shins during monkeys has to be overcome. it's all about progression, even the stuff that isn't physical.

And when you train in public, bring a camera and tape people's reactions. It's friggin' awesome!

Ahhh, fear. I hate that thing. I'm not sure about great ways to overcome it but I find that usually when you just go for it, you find its really not as bad or as hard as you thought. Plus, if you go at it and focus more on technique than fear, you will usually get it.

Not saying I've completely conquered my fears though, because I still have to deal with them for something every training session.

To my knowledge fear can never be completely gotten rid of, just brushed to the side.  The key is to not let your fears you from trying something.

You need to find a balance with your mind and your body.  If one aspect gets out of hand, you wont have the proper confidence or ability to perform whatever it is you want to try.
