Advance Praise for Sgt. Rory Millers Meditations on Violence:

Simply put Meditations on Violence tells the truth. Sgt. Rory Miller will wipe away any fantasy you have about fighting. Fighting and violence will tolerate no liesespecially the ones you tell yourself. The more you read the more you will realize that the stupid, Monkey Dance you do is meaningless. The words, the displays, they are all predictable, and Sgt. Miller has your number.

The Little Black Book of Violence

Miller uses his words like a samurai sword, cutting through flesh, bone, and sinew, directly into the heart of the matteryour ego and life-long distorted illusions about yourself, violence, and ways in which you prepare yourself for todays battlefieldthe street, where illusion and reality clash. Will you be a victim of your own training flaws? This book is a wake-up call to all those practicing, and especially those teaching, martial arts who think that self-defense training in the dojo actually constitutes proper preparation for real life encounters on the street. Miller says: A real fight for your life is NOTHING like sparring. Indeed it isnt.

Chin Na in Ground Fighting

This book is a refreshingly frank, honest, and in-depth assessment of violence. As a corrections officer, Miller tangles with hard-core predators for a living. He routinely survives brutal encounters that would leave the average person physically shattered and emotionally wrecked. Millers insights on how to make self-defense work and overcome subconscious resistance to meeting violence with violence could very well save your life one day. Learn how to think critically about the subject, determine how to evaluate sources of knowledge, and understand how to identify strategies and select tactics to deal with violence effectively. This extraordinarily well-written book is packed with interesting, informative, and, most importantly, useful information.

A must read book for LEOs (Law Enforcement Officers), martial artists, and anyone interesting in learning about the complexities of violence. Not only do I highly recommend this book, but will be required reading for my students a well.

Antonio B. Urena, Detective Sergeant, martial artist

Antonio holds 7th Degree black belt in Okinawan Karate, is a NJ certified defensive tactics, firearms, assault rifle, and subgun instructor, a SWAT team squad leader and police sniper.

This is the finest self-defense book it has ever been my pleasure to read, and I have read quite a few. I feel it is a seminal work, and that is not praise I bandy about lightly. In fact, I hope that my many friends in the self-defense publishing world forgive me for putting Mr.Millers book above theirs in my particular pecking order. It is simply that good.

This book is not a book that will teach you Angry Monkey Kung Fu or the Tiger Claws An Ox technique. In fact, the book is very short on technique offered, which is its true strength. There are innumerable books out there that are technique driven. Thats not the problem. What is lacking, and most sorely needed, is exploration on the realities of human-on-human violence. What drives it, how do you survive it, and how and what can we learn from it.

As a LEO Ive been in many, many use of force incidents, a couple of shootings, and had more incidents that had the potential to become violent but didnt. In very few of them did any particular technique come to me to Save The Day. What served me much better was the understanding of what was happening, recognizing it as it happened, and not letting the fear and adrenaline keep me from acting, even if the acting in question was simply talking the situation down.

Hopefully your particular art has given you the physical tools needed to affect your self-defense. Technique is important, no doubt, but any defense scenario is much more than a series of techniques thrown in a vacuum. This book will fill in those gapsall the other stuff that goes along with it. And that is truly where the art of self-defense lies, outside of technique.

M. Guthrie, Federal Air Marshal

Guthrie is a fifteen-year veteran of LEO (Law Enforcement Officer) work, including local LEO (gang unit), and U.S. Border Patrol.

In the world of Martial Arts, there are many books written by experts in their various arts. While these authors are experts in their own martial disciple, very few can make the claim that they are experts in combat in the real world. Yes, contrary to popular belief, just because you are an expert in the martial arts does not make you an expert in self-defense or real world combat. However, everyone once in a while along comes someone who is both an expert in martial arts, and in the area of real world combat. Even more rare, is the person who has taken their years of training in the martial arts and adapted it to the realities of a violent world. Rory Miller, an experienced martial artist and corrections officer is such a person.

In his book, Meditations on ViolenceA Comparison of Martial Arts Training & Real World Violence, he explores the reality of violence and how to survive it. Exposing the myths that surround violence and combat, Rory gives the reader a stark look into the real world, one that he must confront every day when he goes to work. Rather than a how to book filled with lots of cool pictures, his book informs the reader of the psychology, mindset, and strategies that will keep you alive, and suggests methods that will better prepare you for the real world. I highly recommend this book for anyone who may have to confront the reality of violence, especially martial artists who are often in the most need of a reality check.

One of the best books on self-protection ever written! This book is packed with vital information and is certain to be of great benefit to all martial artists wise enough to read it. Outstanding!

[If you are really serious about self-defense, youll want to] learn from a veteran corrections officer the ugly reality of real fighting as opposed to how its taught in too many strip mall dojos.
