Product Description

Sale. (Reg. $59.95) 2-DVD set. "Training Drills to Prepare for Sudden Violence" by Rory Miller.

The speed and brutality of a predatory attack can shock even an experienced martial artist. The sudden chaos, the cascade of stress hormones—you feel as though time slows down. In reality, the assault is over in an instant. How does anyone prepare for that?

“You don’t get to pick where fights go,” Miller says. That’s why he has created a series of drills to train you for the worst of it, that will challenge you in ways that mere physical training does not. You will defend yourself on your feet, on the ground, against weapons, in a crowd, and while blindfolded. You will reevaluate your training scenarios—keeping what works, discarding what does not, and improving your chances of survival.

As a former corrections sergeant and tactical team leader, Rory Miller is a proven survivor. He instructs police and corrections professionals who need techniques that work and unflinching courage.

In Drills - Training for Sudden Violence, Miller gives you the tools to prepare and prevail, both physically and psychologically. He shares hard-won lessons from a world most of us hope we never experience.... Train fundamentals, combat drills, and dynamic fighting... Develop situational awareness... Condition yourself through stress inoculation... Take a critical look at your training habits... Stalking... Escape and evasion... The predator mind... Personal threat assessment... This is a fight for your life, and it won’t happen on a nice soft mat. It will get, as Miller says, “all kinds of messy.” Training for Sudden Violence 2-DVD set, prepares you for that mess.

120 minutes / 2 DVD (all regions) Worldwide playback.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a must !

    These videos are extremely useful for learning and teaching self-defense in real situations. There are many many clever ideas of drills, powerful trainings which are in addition very great fun to be performed.
    I watch a lot of videos to catch ideas for my teaching and training and really these dvd are the most intelligent ones I ever saw: if I should have to choose only one set of videos this should be this one.
    One among many over interesting points is the fact that Miller doesn't teach any specific style of fighting, but a method which lets you do your own way of fighting. This is not a method "if the guy does that you must do that", this is a method which puts you directly in the context of a real and messy situation, that is at very close distance, and make you improve your spontaneous response on a sudden attacks.
    These drills will make you improving your ability to defend yourselves in a pedagogical way. This has nothing to do with the context of a dojo or of a ring of any martial arts, but somewhere it helps you on the way of all martial arts final purpose, that is to develop a spontaneous response to any kind of aggressions in any contexts.
    I blindfold recommend it! (Sorry for my bad English.)

    Rory Miller's book is good. He is showing his vast experience in this field. Blind folded defense and Advanced Ukemi are good topics which were discussed. However, I think these could be more elaborate. More pictures could be added in order to explain the things more clearly.
    As per my opinion this book could be properly understood only in collaboration with the Two DVDs on the same topic by Rory Miller.

    I guess I should've expected what I got when I purchased at such a low price. This guy is a cardboard cut out of about 100+ guys out there teaching martial arts. Honestly dude, get over yourself. I don't belive there should be a charge for this dvd set, should be free on you tube.
    It's gonna end up at a bargain bin at a dollar store and still overpriced, in my opinion.

    Reviewed in Canada on August 18, 2016

    Excellent material for martial artists and self defense practitioners who want to train for the reality of a sudden assault and learn how to condition effective responses. Rory Miller is truly a second-to-none instructor and all would be wise to learn from his extensive knowledge of true violence. This DVD set goes beyond sparring and combat sport training with a variety of training methods that are applicable to all levels and forms of violence.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Must watch for anyone serious about self protection
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I read and watch most things by Rory Miller, like most of his videos, it’s principle based.
    They are not an abc list of what to do or moves to make.
    I think unless the viewer has seen more by Rory, it could come as a cross as him being flippant or glossing over things.
    You need at least one training partner who should have watched it and things like the flow drills will really start to make you see opportunities and also the less useful moves.
    Even if it isn’t your thing, how anyone gave this 1 star is a mystery to me especially when compared to what’s out there.
    Perhaps people bought it looking for specific moves but it assumes the viewer has a set of moves to use, it’s really about honing and optimising what you know.

    I have many of Rory Miller books so I can firmly say, buy anything with Rory Miller's name on it. This can be used by anyone, but is perfect for teachers to add to their class.

    Contains many, many suitable explanations. There are no piontless Your time wasting chatting games. Very useful information. On one hand all those things have been explained by many other instructors on the other hand this DVD is kind of scope of useful points, thought and proposals. All the explanations goes parralel with demonstrations. You will find how to punch properly in order to gain result. How to distance from your opponent etc.. I do not regret anything I have bought this DVD. Worth to have it.
