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.

You walk into a restaurant and get an immediate sense that you should leave. You are about to step onto an elevator with a stranger, and something stops you. You interview a potential new employee who has the résumé to do the job, but something tells you not to offer the position. These scenarios all represent "left of bang", the moments before something bad happens.

Fear can save your life. It directs you to avoid that stranger, to leave the room, to call for help. The intuitive message of fear, together with rational principles, can help you to predict and thereby avoid personal violence. In this program Gavin de Becker, America's leading expert on predicting violent behavior, demystifies the apparently random and unpredictable nature of violence and shows you how interpersonal violence can be detected and derailed.

Publisher's Summary

This audiobook's target audience is females between the ages of 18 and 35 who are seeking realistic advice about how to avoid conflict, stay safe in high risk situations, and defend themselves effectively if necessary.

This audiobook differs from the typical women's self-defense audiobook in that it is written from the outlaw perspective by a controversial author who had been immersed in deep street subcultures for over 20 years and has published two underground bestsellers regarding the forbidden topics of self-defense that more reputable instructors are hesitant to address. This is not untested theory... these techniques are guaranteed to work, and they are very simple to learn.

The truth about self-protection is not pleasant, and it will require an honest self-assessment as well as a clear understanding of the nature of the threats you may face. This audiobook will be brutally honest and these facts can save your life.
