I'm doing rather exhausting martial arts, which includes doing all movements at exact the speed in which the trainer counts.

There were moments where I felt I couldn't proceed and was exhausted. When telling that to my trainer he, correctly, said: well your muscles aren't shaking under load, so you can't be out of energy yet. After a pause of 10 seconds I was able to go on.

In my experience most physical fatigue can be countered by proper, regular and deep breathing during movement. It seems to be an oxygen-distribution problem.

never forget that a different conclusion can also come from a different input. Maybe your understanding of fatigue is not the same as the author's. You could already see two definitions when comparing yours with your trainer's, right?
