review 1: Having had a recent brush with an actual "live shooter scenario", I found this book thought-provoking. This book is not about fighting techniques. Rather, it addresses how to address violence from ethical, emotional and psychological perspectives. I found this book helpful in understanding my own experience, and in addressing how I might mentally prepare for such an event in the future. God forbid that I should ever need it. cws
review 2: A superb and detailed look at the difference between training a martial art and real life violence. It covers legal and psychological aspects, the freaky affects of adrenaline and how the monkey brain works against you in a surprise assault. Sobering but also fascinating mix of anthropology, psychology, physiology, law an... mored fight mechanics mixed in with an amazing depth of experience. Essential reading if you have any interest in self-defense at all. less
