Then in turn, he gives you the ability to train and supercharge those components individually so that when they are reassembled the result is an Abrams tank powered by jet engines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But, if you're looking for a book on how to block a punch, you won't find it here. This is about giving you the means to create a supercharged capability to take what you already know to the elite level, ready for actual combat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The difference between tier one operators and the rest of us is not that they know more techniques or possess secret skills. They know the same things as we do. They just know how to do them much better. Emerson takes you into his classroom to teach you the real secrets, the forbidden knowledge of the warrior elite, America's Special Operations and Black Ops Units. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The problem with training for real-world hand-to-hand combat skills is that almost all martial arts are over 200 years removed from actual combat and have been softened up or sporterized to be palatable to the general public. The difference between conventional training and combatives training is defined by two simple words; intent and intensity. Each needs the other to be maximally effective and conventional martial arts lack both. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Without truly knowing if something will actually work in live combat, how can an instructor teach combat skills to someone whose life may depend on those skills? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e If you are ever in a situation where you're face-to-face with pure evil, and you're not both physically and mentally prepared for violent, deadly combat, then that is the day you will likely die. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author shows that you must be able to bring violence of action against the bad guy to such a degree that it doesn't just counter his attack, but destroys him, for attempting to do you harm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e You will learn how to evaluate your current training against the criteria of the perfect technique, to judge everything you do as to whether it will work in real combat or not, and avoid wasting your valuable time doing things that are of no value. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Learning and applying principles and concepts outlined in this book will give you the confidence you need, to never again wonder Will this really work or Can I do this? You will learn that the true mastery of fighting skills is not just based on confidence in the techniques but ultimately in the confidence you have in yourself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Some of the subjects covered in detail include; \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1. The principles, strategies, and tactics of combat 2. The physical, physiological, and psychological effects of combat on the human body and how to use them to your advantage 3. The 3 Laws of Combat and the 6 Instinctual Triggers 4. The high art of preemptive self-defense 5. The importance of being able to distinguish between capability and capacity \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Combative fighting skills is not a martial art. It is hard, intense, painful training along with the development of the Warrior Mindset. Without that mindset and the iron will to win, you are only using half of your power. The other half is in the mind. You will learn how important it is to never neglect one for the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ernest Emerson has worked with members of the Naval Special Warfare Community, Navy SEALs for over 25 years.

This is a book about what you need to know in order to make any technique work when a real bad guy is trying to kill you. Ernest Emerson is an instructor, author and lecturer. He is a Black Belt Hall of Fame member, owner of the Black Shamrock Combat Academy and one of the most sought after tactical instructors in the world. One of his most popular lectures, is titled Surviving Inside the Kill Zone. He has often been asked the question, When are you going to put this in a book? That question is now answered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the brutal arena of life and death combat, there are things that you can do and things you can't. There are also things you should always do and there are things you should never do. And the right things that you are able to do in combat are the ones that will enable you to survive a deadly attack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Emerson always starts this lecture with the question; How many first responders are in this room? There are always several police, firemen, or paramedics in the audience who raise their hands. And then the lecture starts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book you will learn the principles, concepts, strategies, and tactics behind the training methods Ernest Emerson has been teaching to members of Special Operations Units, Government Agencies, and Counter-terrorist Units for over two decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book breaks down the subject into seven related but distinct chapters that starts with Education, stressing the importance of learning strategies, tactics, weapons, and methodologies of the bad guys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Emerson then follows with a further exploration and recommendation for choosing the right weapons, how to judge a training system, and how to identify what you really need to know and how to learn it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Emerson explains why half of what you know, won't work in combat and only about half of what really works in combat is what you'll actually be able to do. That only leaves about 25% combat effectiveness, when you're up against someone is who trying to take your life. This book gives you the tools that make that 25% and make it more effective and powerful than the other 75% left behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book introduces you to the rules of combat, the important role of goals and the right strategic objectives and how to apply them to both training and combat. Emerson provides valuable insight into the predator\/prey relationship and how you can use it to work against a predator and effectively take you off their radar as a potential prey. Learn how to identify and break the sequence of events that leads to a surprise attack. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mr. Emerson also teaches the CIA maxim of Detect, Deny, Destroy, and explains how a system that works so well for their officers can be used to work just as well for you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Knowing that the physical battle is only part of any aggressive or violent confrontation, Emerson devotes an entire chapter to the Warrior Mindset and also the importance of the Will in developing the absolute conviction that you will never quit and never, ever give up, using the same techniques as taught to U.S. Navy SEALs. There is also very valuable information on developing the Mental Trigger, material that until now has never been covered in any other civilian source. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And you will learn how functional conditioning and strength play a vital role in your ability to fight and prevail against the attacker. Combat strength conditioning is explained in terms that allow you to reevaluate your training regimen and fine tune it for optimum combat performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It was mentioned that at the beginning of his lecture, Surviving Inside the Kill Zone he asks how many first responders are in the room? Emerson asks the same question at the end of the lecture. This time every hand in the room goes up. Read this book and get ready to raise your hand.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51031878041873,"sku":"NIN9781507785966","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52607966675217,"sku":"CIN1507785968G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53467544813841,"sku":"CIN1507785968VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1507785968.jpg?v=1751180309"},{"product_id":"seven-essential-skills-needed-to-survive-a-deadly-attack-book-ernest-emerson-9781506026510","title":"The Seven Essential Skills Needed To Survive A Deadly Attack","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51031883481361,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51031885512977,"sku":"NIN9781506026510","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52723679035665,"sku":"CIN1506026516G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1506026516.jpg?v=1750925136"},{"product_id":"how-to-sharpen-your-knife-book-ernest-emerson-9798630590497","title":"How To Sharpen Your Knife","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53662725177617,"sku":"NIN9798630590497","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798630590497.jpg?v=1781446747"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ernest-emerson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
