I find it telling that some of our governmental czars and their agencies sound just like some of the organizations in this document.
This book is a lot darker than atlas shrugged, the movie was not nearly as well done as the Shrugged series, but it is a lot easier to read.
Both authors have first hand experience in the birth of communism in Russia, and many of their observations are very telling.
Because of this, I feel everyone needs to read this book for themselves.
In order to ensure the buyer’s skills match the difficulty of the included exercises, a video preview showing limited examples has been created.
It can be found at holdingyourground.com or via other common sources for internet videos. A search of “Home Schooled Shootist” should generate several options.
This work is divided into three basic sections:
Covering topics ranging from sight pictures, on-range and off-range training techniques, and even rifle specific weight training, Shootist is intended for those who want to train at their own pace, using their own facilities. The drills are creative, unique and can be challenging. Detailed instructions are included on how to construct the various training tools and courses.
In addition, a bonus section covering nutrition and its impact on shooting skills is included. Written by Mike Adams – The Health Ranger, it addresses the seldom-discussed topic of how physical health can impact fighting skills.
I have to admit, when I first saw this book I did not know what to think, but once I started reading it, I found it to be full of useful information presented in a very clear format. Everybody needs to look at this because Nobody did a great job.
It was an interesting read, but you could probably learn more from an acting class…
This book dealt a lot with controlling body language and how putting on a hat or taking off a jacket combined with body expression would change your appearance.
In my mind any one that has watched a modern spy movie where the hero was framed and on the run is familiar with more relevant disguise techniques.
That is not to say I did not enjoy the book – I found it an interesting read, as well as something to provide insight into the mindset of the time. But not being a cynical person I did not get the feel it was something somebody threw together to get a piece of wartime government money.
I don’t really like giving negative reviews, and most of the time I try to not give a review rather than to say “this book is a waste of money”, but in my opinion, if you are buying this book because you think it may someday prove useful to you, save the money and watch mission impossible.
Col Grossman is one of the few modern warriors that has done any substantial research into the mental aspects of the use of force. He discusses what PTSD is, some information on how to deal with it, the flight or flight response, survival breathing techniques to reduce stress during lethal encounters, and much much more…
When I began learning how to shoot defensively this book was one I read over and over. When I graduated into teaching people how to shoot defensively I dogeared On Combat even more. I am on my second copy.
While some of the concepts in the book have come under scrutiny lately. I still find them to be a good common sense description of what takes place in the body and mind when under life or death stress.
Despite the title, On Combat is not just for Soldiers and Marines. It is a resource for anyone that carries a gun defensively. I think it is most notably useful for armed citizens. He has other books I will review on here, like On Killing, and Stop Teaching our Kids to Kill, but I think this is his best work.
In his book, The Combative Perspective, Suarez shows how desire for victory, elimination of uncertainty, situational awareness and willingness to act can give you the mental edge.
This book is the perfect companion to Cooper’s classic Principles of Personal Defense.
This book is subtitled The Thinking Man’s Guide to Self-Defense, which is an apt title. In my experience mindset is every bit as vital to survival as training.
If you are serious about personal defense then you need to read this book.
I have studied Gabe Suarez’s work for some time, and I believe that it is quality training material in a time when the combative’s field is glutted with not always valuable material.
If you want to carry a gun for self defense, or if you stock up on ammunition for some future disaster, then you owe it to yourself to become a student of the combative mindset and learn what it takes to survive am armed encounter.
It is not a normal human reaction to pick up a gun and run toward gunfire, but it may be necessary to defend your loved ones. Please take the time to learn how to do it tactically and with some edge to your odds.
