Publisher's summary
Milling: filters out the useless!
It constantly forces you to deal with pressure!
The tendency is to rely and act on gross motor skills. You want to be able to distance yourself from the source of danger; strike, pick up something, and if necessary, run! The effects of adrenaline; the body tenses up, breathing becomes heavier and fine motor skills diminish.
Pressure changes everything! Techniques; similar in motion, simple and direct gross motor skills over fine motor skills. The mill urges intensity over extensity. Better to develop a few simple techniques than to learn many; that is mere theory vs proven. The mill demonstrates and teaches you what works best for you.
Circuit training:
Integrated throughout the mill; to test and build; cardio, strength and stamina. You start with running in place, to burpees, followed by push-ups, sit-ups and squats. As time progresses, the sets get longer, and tension elements and isometrics get introduced. Feeling the burn, you are gradually operating at less than full capacity; this is when you get thrown into the mill. Now you are simulating a live situation and the effects of adrenaline, facing an attacker who is not intent on giving you a chance to practise but ready to resist. The more you practise this way, you will build your resistance levels, training to do more with less!
Efforts are taken to disorientate the student by having them spin in a location until they get dizzy and immediately confront them. All done to gauge the student's responses and levels of resistance. This also simulates getting blindsided, hit first, then expected to defend yourself.
This method embodies the no hypocrisy rule! It is here and now; it works, or it doesn't. The mill, when examined under the watchful eye of an instructor, will tell you why a particular technique was ineffective; and have you define and refine it; to make it work. The mill is engaging and forces you to adjust and adapt constantly.

People are less in touch with their bodies - and especially their breathing - than ever before. Ironically, athletes and others who pride themselves on taking care of their bodies actually put themselves at greater risk. Why? Because they’re asking their body to take on next-level demands, but failing at life’s most essential skill: efficient breathing.

Tai Chi can be confusing, but it need not be. As a matter of fact, it is not. The reason it is confusing is that you are not given the full information.

This audiobook has been specially made to explain Tai Chi in a simple and easy way for practitioners to understand.

What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should.
