Miller, Rory Sgt. "Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected." YMAA Publishing. 2011.
Review: The mind can only tell the body to act if it has some sort of reference in its storage. If there is nothing to refer to then it drops down into survival instinct mode which today is inadequate. Sgt Miller will in all probability tell you that you need to know what violence is before you can train to combat violence. I believe this is true and this, along with his other book, is required for all fledgling karate-ka.
Sgt. Miller succently and concisely writes about all the varous aspects of violence and how to train for it. If you don't know about turn signals and the switch located on the steering wheel column how can you signal your intent to turn? If you don' know what your seeing or hearing or feeling how can you tell if it requires some strong response like a strike vs. just a hand shake?
This is a must have book for your library. It has some difficult to "digest" information you may scoff at or you may say, "this can never happen to me," but listen up folks because it can.
