Fear is when you are afraid because you are not sure of your abilities to handle yourself in the situation you are in. So, you are frozen in place, because of your incompetence in the circumstance. 

Adrenaline is poured into your body when it reacts to a threat, stress, increased rates of blood circulation, and breathing. It is released from the adrenal gland which is above the kidneys. 

Adrenaline is in your body to help you fight or run. When you feel it, you may think it is fear gripping your body, so it may freeze you. Most people become the victim, because they lose control over their bodies during this time. You have to think, have my past experiences prepared me for this situation? Or am I ill-prepared?

If it is not naturally who you are, or you do not train for it, you are giving your adversary a chance to defeat you in that state of uncertainty.
