Facing Violence

Preparing for the Unexpected

By: Rory Miller, Barry Eisler

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

Rory Miller's Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected includes seven elements that must be addressed to bring self-defense training to something approaching complete. These elements are: legal and ethical implications, violence dynamics, avoidance, counter-ambush, breaking the freeze, the fight itself, and the aftermath. Training that dismisses any of these areas leaves you vulnerable.

Should be read if one has accepted your responsibility for selfdefense. Very well written book.

This book is a must read/listen if you're a martial arts, self defense student or instructor or if you're just interested in learning self defense/protection or learning about violence. You won't regret listening ... promise!

Psychological Stress Reality

Did struggle to finish. Did bring up some great points. Things to consider about what you are faced with. The reality vs. the assumptions.
