How does anyone prepare for that?As a former corrections sergeant and tactical team leader, Rory Miller is a proven survivor. He instructs police and corrections professionals who, in many cases, receive only eight hours of defensive tactics training each year. They need techniques that work and they need unflinching courage.In Drills: Training for Sudden Violence Miller gives you the tools to prepare and prevail, both physically and psychologically.

You will reevaluate your training scenarios—keeping what works, discarding what does not, and improving your chances of survival.Miller’s “internal work,”
“world work,” and “plastic mind” exercises will challenge you in ways that mere physical training does not.
