Today I want to share with you an answer to a question I get asked a lot; can I recommend a book that would help immerse myself into the study of self-defense and personal protection? Oftentimes I might get asked by a parent who doesn't want to get himself involved in martial arts. Whether they don't have the time or the interest, but they still want to be able to equip their self, armed with good information, so that they can pass that information onto their children. They can help strengthen their children, give them a better understanding of personal protection and safety, as well as family protection. One of the books that I couldn't recommend more, whether you're a martial artist or not, is the book by Rory Miller called Meditations on Violence. This book, for me, it was life changing. I've been doing martial arts almost all of my life. I've been teaching martial arts pretty much my entire adult life. I know it pretty well. What I can tell you is that this book will shatter most misconceptions that you have about violence, about understanding fighting. A lot of times if you were to say, "Oh, I want to take my kids to a martial arts school because I want them to learn how to stick up for him or herself, or I want to learn how to fight, I want to get some skills or that won't work in the street." Or any of these different paradigms and ideas and concepts. This book is going to super align them, to truly look into the mind and the actions of a predator, and anybody who is going to potentially target your child, why are they going to target your child. What is it that your child is doing to motivate them to target your child? The author Rory Miller has not only been involved in teaching and training use of force programs to military law enforcement all over the world, but he was also in corrections for his career, and he has a lot of authority when it comes to speaking on this topic. As well, he's a martial artist. He talks very clearly about his experience and thoughts on martial arts, so he is able to look at this with a very holistic perspective. So once again, the book is Meditations on Violence, couldn't recommend it more. If you're interested in the topic, the life cycle of violence, realities of violence, being able to go beyond a lot of popular myths and misunderstandings about violence... Then this is the book for you. In fact, if you're a martial artist, I would say this is mandatory reading. It's mandatory reading for all my adult students. So Meditations on Violence by Rory Miller, a Comparison of Martial Arts Training and Real World Violence. Highly, highly recommended. Other works by Rory Miller that you'll enjoy include: Facing Violence, Preparing for the Unexpected Training for Sudden Violence: 72 Practical Drills Conflict Communication

Palestinian theater artist Amir Abualrob got an unexpected welcome when he landed at the Dublin airport in Ireland two years ago. Abualrob was stopped at border control — an Irish customs official asked how long he was planning to stay. Abualrob said he produced documents proving he had the right to stay for 15 days. The official asked if he had any interest in staying longer. Abualrob said he'd love to, and with that, the official added an extra five days to his visa and waved him through, adding: “Welcome to Ireland.”Nine months after arriving in Ireland, Abualrob was granted refugee status.When the Irish Parliament (Dail) voted unanimously to condemn the building of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories last month, calling it a “de facto annexation,” Abualrob said he was overjoyed. He'd heard about Ireland's strong support for Palestinians while growing up at the Jenin refugee camp in the Palestinian-controlled West Bank. Related: 'Apartheid' is used to describe Israel's control over Palestinians“You know, that's an honor. Honestly, as Palestinians in this country, we are respected and to do this action, I felt so proud.”The vote in the Irish Parliament came about following a motion by Sinn Féin party lawmaker John Brady. The Irish member of Parliament said his motion reflected the “concern of the Irish people at the plight of the Palestinian people.” “The memory and the consequence of colonization lives in the very marrow of our bones."John Brady, Sinn Fein party lawmaker, Ireland“The memory and the consequence of colonization lives in the very marrow of our bones,” Brady said. Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said the unanimous vote was a “clear signal of the depth of feeling across Ireland.”The following day, the Irish tricolor was raised above city hall in Ramallah, in the West Bank.Related: Biden is 'no savior' for Palestinians, should hold Israel 'to account' In this Friday, Sept. 27, 2019 file photo, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney leaves EU headquarters in Brussels. Ireland's parliament has on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, passed a motion describing Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories as “de facto annexation'' — some of the strongest language ever offered by a European Union nation on the issue. Credit: Virginia Mayo/AP Seeds of supportIrish support for Palestinians wasn't always so steadfast. Up until the 1930s, there was a certain amount of sympathy in Ireland for the Zionist movement, aimed at the establishment of a Jewish state. Rory Miller, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Qatar, said Irish support for the Zionist cause was “primarily and overwhelmingly because it was seen as a similar battle to remove British colonialism as was going on in Ireland.” Both sides recognized the other as dispossessed. In the late 1930s, Irish sympathies began to shift. Miller, also the author of “Ireland and the Palestine Question 1948-2004,” said when most of the Zionist movement endorsed the British proposal for partition of the Palestinian territories in the late 1930s, it changed Ireland's thinking. For Irish leaders, partition was an absolute anathema, he said. “Now, you have the Zionists on the same side as the British, and the Arab inhabitants of Palestine were now seen as the victims of this colonialist struggle." Then-Prime Minister Eamon De Valera denounced the proposed partition as cruel and unjust — and a reminder of Ireland's own division by the British. A line of vehicles, stretching for almost a mile, waits to pass through a road block on the main road from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv, Feb. 6, 1947. The road block is manned by members of the Royal Irish Fusiliers. Credit: Archives/AP The Catholic Church played a part, too. Miller said the church did not accept Israel's control over Jerusalem once it was declared an independent state in 1948, and the Irish government fell in line with that perspective. But it was after the 1967 war when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza that Irish support for Palestinians really intensified. From the late 1970s, Irish troops were deployed in the region as part of a United Nations peacekeeping force. Related: The blockade on Gaza hampers life and reconstructionVincent Durac, associate professor of Middle East studies at University College Dublin, said with tens of thousands of Irish men and women serving as soldiers in the area, in particular on the border with Israel, their experience influenced opinion back home. The view appears to be largely pro-Arab, pro-Palestinian, Durac said.Irish political party Sinn Féin has long been an outspoken defender of the Palestinian cause. The left-wing party, once shunned for its ties with the Irish Republican Army, now holds considerable sway in mainstream politics. In the 2020 Irish general election, the party won the popular vote and the second-highest number of seats in Parliament. Durac said he suspects Sinn Féin's popularity may have influenced the centrist ruling coalition to support the motion condemning Israel. But not everyone in Ireland agrees with the government's position. 'Unbalanced, one-sided'Former Minister of Justice Alan Shatter, who is Jewish, said the political debate around the issue was “toxic” and passing the motion was “a sad day” for the Irish Parliament. “It's disappointing that the Irish government opted into allowing Sinn Fein to prescribe Irish foreign policy when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And it's disappointing that the Irish government took an entirely unbalanced, one-sided approach.”Former Minister of Justice Alan Shatter“It's disappointing that the Irish government opted into allowing Sinn Féin to prescribe Irish foreign policy when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And it's disappointing that the Irish government took an entirely unbalanced, one-sided approach.”Shatter, who is now retired, said with no Jewish lawmakers in Irish Parliament today, it gives members free rein to say what they like and he views some recent comments as anti-Semitic. Shatter said he understands why governments would criticize Israeli tactics and, at times, he has done so himself. But some political statements made by Irish lawmakers were unacceptable, he said. “You even had members of the Dail referencing Israel as replicating the conduct of Nazi Germany. This is rhetoric that you expect in the Iranian Parliament. You don't expect it in the Irish Parliament.” Ireland has a small Jewish community with less than 3,000 people. The former justice minister said many have been rattled by the government's position on Israel. Reports of incidents of anti-Semitism have risen in Europe since violence erupted in the Gaza strip in May. Shatter said he's not aware of any physical attacks against Ireland's Jewish community but worries that comments made in Parliament could stoke anti-Semitic behavior.“The sort of rhetoric may sound smart to catch a news headline, but it's dangerous. It's damaging. And my concern is that one day, it's going to result in some tragedy in Ireland.”Not far enoughFor others in Ireland, the government motion condemning Israeli settlements didn't go far enough. The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign wants the government to enact the Occupied Territories Bill that would ban imports from illegal Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. Aisling Micklethwaite, the vice-chair of the campaign, said this would show the Irish government is serious about the motion it passed. Sinn Féin has also called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Ireland. Professor Durac at University College Dublin said this is not going to happen without EU consensus, and it is highly unlikely EU member states would agree to it. Former Justice Shatter said Israel was somewhat taken aback by Ireland's parliamentary motion. But he also said that “Israelis regard Ireland as the state in Europe which is most hostile to Israel.” The Irish motion may have little actual impact but it is symbolic. “The fact that you have an EU member that is making these statements publicly on a political level that has good connections and good influence in Washington is not to be dismissed."Rory Miller, professor of government, Georgetown University, Qatar“The fact that you have an EU member that is making these statements publicly on a political level that has good connections and good influence in Washington is not to be dismissed,” Miller said.Abualrob, the Palestinian theater artist in Dublin, said the past few months have been tough. Watching the outbreak of violence in the region in May was heartbreaking, he said. Related: A Palestinian becomes Spanish after proving Sephardic originHis family, who still lives just outside the West Bank town of Jenin, were not personally affected, but he still worries and would like to return home one day. “I really miss Palestine because, you know, all my memories, everything that I belong to, it's there.”But for now, Abualrob said he's content to live in a place that makes him feel welcome.

Perception of violence doesn’t always line up with the reality of violence. Here are some thoughts about how what that means for us as martial artists. Please subscribe in iTunes or on Android! Twisted Tea videoMeditations on Violence by Rory Miller The post Episode 34: The Gap Between Martial Arts and Real Violence appeared first on Martial Journeys of Madison.
Episode 29 Rory Miller is a martial arts and self-defence expert and author of many books, ebooks and video courses, including “Meditations on Violence: A Comparison of Martial Arts Training and Real World Violence”, which is widely considered as one of the best books on martial arts ever written and I urge you to read it.

Force is a form of communication. It is the most emphatic possible way of saying “no”. For years my job was to say “no” sometimes very emphatically, to violent people. I can make it sound more official, but in the end I was paid to go into volatile situations, usually alone and usually outnumbered by […] The post Rory Miller – Clarity appeared first on Stickman Publications, Martial Arts Podcast.

Lisa Abbott started in the martial arts in 1982 in a traditional system that was rooted in Kyokushin. The dojo that she trained in as a brown belt was in a nearby town and she was encouraged to open up a branch of that school. She and her husband built a school on their property in 1990. After 20 years with that school, she left the traditional program, realizing that it was incomplete as far as self-defense is concerned. She began searching for somebody to learn from and received her first self-defense instructor certification from Phil Messina of Modern Warrior Defensive Tactics in Long Island, New York. He recommended books by Rory Miller, and after reading Meditations On Violence, she started training with Rory in 2010.She has been teaching Self Defense seminars since 2004. In this episode, Lisa and I discuss: How martial arts gave Lisa a grounding point and an outlet for dealing with pain. The gaps that needed to be filled in between martial arts and self-defense. The importance of trusting your “bad feelings”. Uncovering myths and bad tips about personal self-defense. Key Takeaways: Women are not attacked in the same way as men, so self-defense needs are different. Be aware of not only what to look for, but how to see things that are not quite right. It’s about having the skills to de-escalate or to change the dynamics of a situation. There are many helpful tools and tips out there, but the key is to have an arsenal to use when you need them. "Part of the difference between martial arts and self-defense is absolutely the alpha skills – the listening to your intuition, the training of us females to be able to stand up for ourselves in more than just the physical realm." — Lisa Abbott Connect with Lisa Abbott: Website: https://subtlewarriorselfdefense.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SubtleWarriorSelfDefense/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/subtlewarriorselfdefense CONNECT WITH CYNTHIA: If you'd like to chat with Cynthia, sign up for your Personal Safety Preparedness Consultation with her today!

If I've only got an hour or less to share my most important advice on how to be safe, this is what I talk about: how can you avoid being in a dangerous situation in the first place, if you can't avoid it what can you do to avoid violence, and if push comes to shove and you must defend yourself physically how can you fight effectively. HIGHLIGHTS What’s your personal reason to survive? Where do you get hit first in an encounter? Preparation to help break out of a freeze Places to avoid What choosing safety means Understanding the mind of criminals The “gut instinct” How men and women deal with adrenaline Tactical apology Do you have to be you? If you have to defend yourself physically… Giving yourself permission The “human airbag” Tools and targets Closest weapon, closest target Thanks to Rory Miller and Tony Blauer for sharing many of these insights with me!

Today I want to share with you an answer to a question I get asked a lot; can I recommend a book that would help immerse myself into the study of self-defense and personal protection? Oftentimes I might get asked by a parent who doesn't want to get himself involved in martial arts. Whether they don't have the time or the interest, but they still want to be able to equip their self, armed with good information, so that they can pass that information onto their children. They can help strengthen their children, give them a better understanding of personal protection and safety, as well as family protection. One of the books that I couldn't recommend more, whether you're a martial artist or not, is the book by Rory Miller called Meditations on Violence. This book, for me, it was life changing. I've been doing martial arts almost all of my life. I've been teaching martial arts pretty much my entire adult life. I know it pretty well. What I can tell you is that this book will shatter most misconceptions that you have about violence, about understanding fighting. A lot of times if you were to say, "Oh, I want to take my kids to a martial arts school because I want them to learn how to stick up for him or herself, or I want to learn how to fight, I want to get some skills or that won't work in the street." Or any of these different paradigms and ideas and concepts. This book is going to super align them, to truly look into the mind and the actions of a predator, and anybody who is going to potentially target your child, why are they going to target your child. What is it that your child is doing to motivate them to target your child? The author Rory Miller has not only been involved in teaching and training use of force programs to military law enforcement all over the world, but he was also in corrections for his career, and he has a lot of authority when it comes to speaking on this topic. As well, he's a martial artist. He talks very clearly about his experience and thoughts on martial arts, so he is able to look at this with a very holistic perspective. So once again, the book is Meditations on Violence, couldn't recommend it more. If you're interested in the topic, the life cycle of violence, realities of violence, being able to go beyond a lot of popular myths and misunderstandings about violence... Then this is the book for you. In fact, if you're a martial artist, I would say this is mandatory reading. It's mandatory reading for all my adult students. So Meditations on Violence by Rory Miller, a Comparison of Martial Arts Training and Real World Violence. Highly, highly recommended. Other works by Rory Miller that you'll enjoy include: Facing Violence, Preparing for the Unexpected Training for Sudden Violence: 72 Practical Drills Conflict Communication

“I get paid (and paid well) to go into a situation, usually alone and usually outnumbered by sixty or more criminals, and maintain order. I prevent them from preying on each other or attacking officers. That's the job. Now, since I don't fight every day or even every week (anymore — I'm a sergeant now, one step behind the front line) most of the minutes and hour of the day are pretty easy, far too easy for what they are paying me. But every once in a while on a really, really ugly night, I more than earn my keep.” — Rory Miller (Meditations on Violence) To most of us, that may sound like a crime novel — but for Rory Miller, that was his day job for seventeen years. Rory Miller is a prolific writer in martial arts and violence. He's been training in the martial arts since '81 and he's been a corrections officer (with many of his years in maximum security) since '91. He has a B.S. degree in Experimental Psychology from Oregon State. In the martial arts, he's tried everything from judo to fencing, karate, and taekwondo — he has even studied some European weapons. He's a member of the corrections team SERT — a corrections emergency response team. In this episode, Rory Miller talks about his background and experience in the martial arts, how he became a corrections officer, how he came about training people on violence and the mentality of violence, life after working in a jail for 17 years, where he would like to see martial arts headed in the future, and his future writing projects.

When It's Time for Unrelenting Violence Aren't we supposed to “turn the other cheek” or take down a bad guy with “just enough” force? Isn't teaching violence a “bad” thing to do? As a Self Defense instructor I am put up against these types of philosophical questions daily. It's a constant tightrope walk between what's socially acceptable and the taboos of violence. Unfortunately there is no escaping that there may come a time when one must channel violence to fight violence. This isn't about war, or ”fighting” for peace with sticks and guns. I'm talking about that one situation that we all fear, the one that makes your stomach churn even thinking about it. Imagine waking up with a shadow above your bed, and a gun to your head. An intruder is preparing to do unspeakable things to you and your family. In such situations, we must forget socially acceptable norms and channel our inner violent monster. Being as close to law enforcement as I am AND from teaching self defense to 100s of victims of violence, I have heard many stories of both victory and defeat. One in particular comes to mind, and for the sake of privacy some minor details and names have been altered. In LA a few years ago, a rapist and murderer was targeting women, first raping and then killing them, and local law enforcement were at a loss to find him. One night, a woman in her 20s was jogging. At night. Alone. With headphones on. (Sigh… limiting your awareness like this is always a recipe for disaster.) As she was jogging, someone came out of nowhere and slammed her her head against the wall, pinning her down with unrelenting force. He tore her clothes off as the blood ran down her head. In a daze, she had no clue what was happening. Until she did. Luckily, she had a decent amount of self defense training behind her, and as that training kicked in, she fought back vehemently. The attacker slammed her to the ground and shoved his fingers into her mouth to shut her up. With the force of a pit bull, she clamped down. The attacker, shocked and paralyzed, took off running. When the authorities finally showed up, she gave them his finger. He is now in jail. I have other stories, but they don't have happy endings, so for now, let's stick with this one. See, there are two different types of encounters: social aggression and asocial violence. I stole this idea from Tim Larkins new book, “When Violence is the Answer.” The book is a great read and a great incentive to understand and embody the monster we have deep within us — to summon him/her when the time is right. Think Hulk. Social aggression is the “Monkey Dance” as Rory Miller would describe. It's a social status situation, just like when two guys at a bar pumping their chest, trying to be “bigger” than the other. Usually there's talking involved, posturing, and sometimes even flipping the bird. The social cues start to escalate and a fight breaks loose. OR maybe someone's holding a knife to your throat, demanding all of your belongings. These are, for the most part, social aggression situations that can settled in a non violent manner. In fact, I would argue that 99.9% of social aggression situations can be avoided completely. How? Simple. Use your head! Not your ego. Walk away. Don't go to certain areas. Don't cause a stir by eyeballing people. Use verbal Jujitsu and common sense to talk your way out of a fight. Avoid violence at all costs. Ready for another couple stories? Two similar true stories with vastly different outcomes. Story 1: There were two guys on a street corner. Cue the monkey dance routine. They were puffing out their chests and calling each other names. Guy #1 struck the opponent and caused him to fall to the cement. Guy #1 then kicked him in the head, neck, and back. His teeth were falling onto the sidewalk and blood was splattering everywhere. It was absolutely terrifying to watch. No one around was help
"There is no better way to keep good people weak, then to tell them they will magically become bad people if become powerful."" This weeks podcast features a second sit down with celebrated self defense author Rory Miller. In this episode we dig deep into. 1. The problem of orienting effectively as finite creature in an infinite world. 2. How we evolved to be powerful 3. Why our education systems are set up to prevent us from becoming strong 4. Why we need to become powerful to be virtuous 5. Principles based training 6. Social scripts why we need them how the limit us and how to step out of them to achieve your goals 7. And the balance between the lizard, monkey and human brain and whether reasons or emotion and intuition are our greatest guides.
Mr. Rory Miller is a martial arts practitioner and instructor. He is a respected author with a background in law enforcement. It was at that time I realized that's... and maybe this is true for everybody but when you decide to push your envelope, you're going to be alone. Rory Miller - Episode 252 Our guest today is Rory Miller. He is a martial arts instructor and practitioner who started his formal martial arts career in college and now is an author of several books. On today's episode, we discuss his views on combat, violence, what makes a good instructor, and more. Why doesn't he like having a title in his name? Listen and find out!
Ken Gullette talks with Rory Miller, the author of an influential book, "Meditations on Violence." As a martial artist and a former corrections officer, Miller has given traditional martial arts a slap of reality by outlining the ways that real-world violence is not something that martial arts classes prepare students for, and when it really happens, most people are overwhelmed and unprepared. You'll learn the difference between "social" violence, which often begins with the "Monkey Dance," and predatory violence, when the attacker operates like a hunter, using stealth and deception to get close enough to strike.
This one is going to be controversial. Like it or not violence was major feature of human evolution, to understand ourselves and the movement capacities we have its a vital thing to study and few people have seen as deeply into that world as Rory Miller. He has been huge influence on my understanding of violence human nature and movement for 10 years and it was an amazing pleasure to interview and train with him. Our apologies for the poor sound quality one of mic's wasn't work we thought the content was worth sharing anyways.
Freezing in a fight is one of the biggest fears I find in myself and my students. We train hard to try and eliminate the fear of freezing but when it boils down to it, we can't eliminate freeze but we can decrease it's power over us with proper training, understanding, and knowledge of this topic. Let's cover the different types of freezes there are according to Rory Miller in “Facing Violence”. Bye the way, I did not invent these ideas. This is my interpretation, research, and takeaway from Rory Miller's Facing Violence and my own experiences. Types of Freezes Tactical Freeze.This is when you freeze on purpose to not expose yourself (you freeze to not be noticed) or to gather more information (you feel something is wrong so you freeze to gather information to find the problem. Also a strategic way to use this freeze is while in a situation where you freeze (or stop interacting) with the threat to let them cool down. But not if the fight has already started. This is more of a pre fight strategy. You must be aware of this freeze and be able to snap out of it at anytime when the situation starts to progress or change. For example, if you freeze to be unnoticed (which is very instinctual, just look at animals when they are “caught” in the act of seeking up on you during play, they freeze hoping you don't notice.), you must be able to recognise when situation has changed so that you get out of the freeze. Sometimes we don't know if we are in this freeze on purpose or if our body is doing it automatically. Physiological Freeze. This is the time when your body is switching form passive mode to fight mode. Some people transition faster then others, usually depends on training and previous encounters. This is why when we train we train techniques and counter simultaneously or near simultaneous to shorten time to transition to fight mode. It is important to turn into the fighter as soon as possible. Non-Cognitave Metal Freeze. This is the freeze where you think you know what to do or what is going on and it suddenly changes. For example, you're walking someone you know out of a heated argument and you suddenly you find a knife in your stomach with the attacker repeatedly stabbing you. This freeze is similar to you needing to switch gears again and into the fighter. The situation is not what we were expecting. We were expecting to walk out calmly when instead we are fighting for our life. This is a tough freeze to get out of but can be done. Miller says from his studies it usually takes two actions to snap out of the freeze. Any actions that you purposely do can regain your mental function and enable you to break the freeze. Cognitive Freeze. Too many attacks happening at once. Our brain is trying to analyse each swing coming at us and decide an appropriate response. But if what we are analysing is disrupted by another attack we can't finish the analysis and continue to try to analyse what is happening. Causing us to freeze. Too many things happening at once and we can't figure out what's happening causing a sensory overload. It's our thought process that is causing us to freeze. Sometimes, asking ourselves what is happening or why is it happening is another cause of this freeze. This is a critical time to try and STOP your thoughts and instead ACT. Once you are acting, then you can think, but every second spent thinking about what is happening or why it's happening is allowing more damage to ensue on yourself. Sometimes, a problems occur with MA training. If a fight isn't going exactly how we trained it to go, our brains automatically try to make sense of what is happening, causing us to freeze. One way we try to solve this is by having the attacker always act differently when you are defending in training, expanding the possible scenarios and not creating a habit. Social Cognitive Freeze. I can see this being a very common freeze among typical people. We are raised and conditioned with rules and laws of violence. We get pu

This briefing examines the main trends and developments within the small, but historically vibrant, Jewish community of Ireland. In particular, it will look at the implications for this community, and how it has responded, to three major developments in Ireland over the last decade -- the rise of the "Celtic Tiger" economy; the highly organized anti-Zionist and anti-Israel movement that has attempted to demonize Israel and by association Irish Jews; the rise of a Muslim community that has now replaced Irish Jewry as the major non-Christian minority in the country.

Sgt. Rory Miller, a retired Multnomah County (Ore.) Sheriff's corrections deputy, wrote "Facing Violence: Preparing for the Unexpected" as a follow-up to his earlier "Meditations on Violence." In his interview with POLICE, he explains "the monkey dance," provides a counter-ambush strategy, and discusses how officers can break "the freeze" that may occur when engaging a violent suspect.
