Turning Fear into Power: The Fast Defense System Book by Bill Kipp (Preowned)

Everyone feels fear. Unfortunately, most people-even trained martial artists have received precious little guidance in how to handle it. As a result, they typically either freeze like a deer in the headlights or flail ineffectually when faced with a threat.

Author Bill Kipp did both for decades. A black belt martial artist and former special forces recon marine, he had worked as a stuntman, bodyguard, and bouncer and survived dozens of fights, two gang attacks, and an armed robbery. And vet he still didn't have a handle on fear. Instead of accepting the adrenalized state brought on by stressful situations as an inevitable, instinctual survival response, he 'second-guessed it, dreaded it, denied it, and literally fought it for years. It wasn't until he stumbled across a self-defense technology called adrenal stress response training that he finally discovered fear was not the enemy at all, but rather a powerful ally.

Since then, Kipp has helped literally thousands of men, women, and children face their fear head-on, and control it, and harness it as the tremendous source of power nature intended it to be. In this book he describes how his unique brand of adrenal stress response conditioning develops awareness and communication skills that help people avoid being targeted as victims, desensitizes them to the verbal abuse and threats that attackers use to control their victims 80 percent of the time, and equips them with verbal defense skills that stop most altercations before they ever become physical.

Finally, he reveals how this fast, effective, scenario-based training methodology empowers them to unleash the fearsome force of adrenaline to fight for their lives when all else fails.
