WINNER - Self-Help, 2016 Best Books AwardThe speed and brutality of apredatory attack can shock even an experienced martial artist. The suddenchaos, the cascade of stress hormonesyou feel as though time slows down. Inreality, the assault is over in an instant. How does anyone prepare for that? As a former correctionssergeant and tactical team leader, Rory Miller is a proven survivor. Heinstructs police and corrections professionals who, in many cases, receive onlyeight hours of defensive tactics training each year. They need techniques thatwork and they need unflinching courage.

You will reevaluate your trainingscenarioskeeping what works, discarding what does not, and improving yourchances of survival. Miller's internal work,"world work," and plastic mind" exercises will challenge you in ways that merephysical training does not.
