Publisher's summary

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.

A must have read

schools and normal families don't teach us to handle violence. This book sumarize all the types of violence: social and predatory, and the stages for each type.
Men get involved in social violence, women are victims of predatory violence.

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.
