What happens when we enter a violent situation? Our bodies immediately undergo a mental and physical change at which point our decision-making process becomes clouded. This useful guide explains how to recognize danger and prepare for it. With years of experience in the military, law enforcement and martial arts, author Daniel Arnold explains how to become more aware of your surroundings and quickly assess potential threats. Covering a variety of topics, he explains our body's involuntary reactions to facing violence, how to overcome ego-driven violence, and how to find the right instructor for whatever level of martial arts or defense skill you wish to attain.Daniel Arnold is a former US Marine and a 26-year veteran of local law enforcement. In addition to his years of experience in private security, he is a highly respected martial arts trainer who has also competed in combat sports. He is an ACE-certified physical fitness instructor and also an NRA-certified firearms instructor with marksmanship awards in both pistol and rifle. Daniel lives in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio with his wife and two daughters. Most people don't really comprehend the speed at which a violent attack can occur. The human ego, fueled by insecurity, is the second leading cause of most conflicts-second only to greed. Violence and Ego details winning strategies for self-defense and explains the ways to recognize and avoid ego-driven conflicts. Topics include understanding adrenal-stress response and the importance of repetitious training to act swiftly and instinctively in a violent situation. This book also explores the manipulating mindset of a predator and their victim selection process, as well as providing simple techniques to heighten your situational awareness, how to quickly recognize nonverbal precursors to an attack, and also stresses the importance of knowing self-defense laws, enabling you to articulate your actions before, during and after defending yourself. I felt compelled to share some of my real-life accounts of surviving violent altercations to illustrate the do's and don'ts when confronted with a dangerous or potentially deadly situation. I learned many of these lessons the hard way. I've written this book with the hopes that you won't have to.
