Download or read book Body Alarm Reaction Scientific Training of the Adrenal Stress Response written by Michael Patrick and published by . This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body Alarm Reaction (B.A.R.) or Adrenal Stress Response should be the basis of all forms of defensive systems. Sadly, it is not. Too many rely upon complex techniques which will likely fail during a real life encounter. This text examines the various effects of stimulation of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), namely the Sympathetic (SNS) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) have upon the body. You will discover ways to minimize the effects and even use them to your advantage! Sections detail various phenomena such as tachypsychia, excorporation, tunnel vision, and many others. A scientific look at the processes that happen in the body under extreme stress, known as Body Alarm Reaction, or B.A.R. depict how these effects occur as a natural survival mechanism that can either lead you to perform at levels like never before, or ilead to catastrophic failure if you do not learn to control them. Additional sections look at how B.A.R. applies to weapons training, including point-shooting versus aimed-fire and shooting stances, knife combat, and stick/baton. An analysis of bleeding rates provides a detailed analysis of Fairbairn's infamous Timetable of Death. Simulations are presented which show estimated times for loss of consciousness, shock, and death. Formulae are also provided to allow you to do your own simulations, using simple math! Training programs are discussed with a critique of various training regimes such as Martial Arts and Law Enforcement. Reality-Based Training and scenario development is also covered. This is not a book of techniques, but rather a scientific view of how the Adrenal Stress Response affects the body. This information can be used to form the basis for truly effective defensive techniques. Printed at 8.5" x 11", this book is full of tables, diagrams, illustrations, and photos. There is no filler here. Sections are written to get to the point immediately and not waste time and space with superfulous information. Whether you are a personal defense trainer, Martial Artist, Law Enforcement Officer, or Soldier, or anyone else, you will find this book to be a great addition to your library that you will reference often.

Download or read book Public Enemy Number 1 stress written by Herman Todorov and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can slowly drain the life force from your body over time. Or kill swiftly without warning. But you will never find it on a medical chart or see it listed on a death certificate. It's called stress. It exacts a tremendous toll on our lives. It saps our strength, robs our youth and makes us old before our time. We encounter it day in and day out, yet do little, if anything about it. It's no wonder. In today's 'pressure cooker society', the average lunch hour lasts about 11 minutes. Dinner is often consumed in less than 6 minutes (usually seated in front of the television). The average workday can last 10 hours or more. We seem to be living in a society where there's virtually no time for quality time. Strictly speaking, stress itself is not among the direct causes of ageing, yet it plays an extremely important role in the ageing process. It is a powerful force that serves as a catalyst in every known mechanism that causes us to age. Readers might be surprised to find out that this book has as much to do with ageing, life extension and specific measures we can take to postpone the inevitable as it does with stress. The fact is that stress and ageing are inextricably bound together.

Download or read book The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points written by Rand Cardwell and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-26 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to target the weaknesses of an attacker and effectively exploit them in order to defend yourself! The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points explains the pressure point techniques found in the Bubishi, the ancient "Bible of Karate," and how recognizing them allows you to defend yourself against such attacks. This book closely examines these vital points and the science behind them, and the author fills a gap in general understanding of how the 36 vital points found in the Bubishi can be targeted using pressure point fighting techniques. While much has been written about the vital points and their medicinal importance, thanks to the popularity of practices such as acupuncture, martial research on the subject has been lacking. Cardwell discusses the vital points from the perspective of an experienced martial artist--including how the body's vital points are related to the 8 extraordinary vessels and 12 meridians which circulate energy throughout the body. Through detailed step-by-step instructions and over 96 photographs and illustrations, The 36 Deadly Bubishi Points shows how this knowledge can be employed in self-defense.

Download or read book The Structure of Learning written by R. Allen Gardner and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing together research and theory in ethology and psychology, this book offers a clear and provocative account of the ways in which living organisms learn. Throughout, the authors' focus is on the importance of operational definition. In lively prose, describing experiments in enough depth to involve readers in the drama of experimental method, they recount the history of scientists' attempts to answer basic questions, and show how one study builds on another. Although they present the major traditional positions, they demand that readers examine actual evidence, recognize weaknesses, and consider alternatives. This critical process leads to the delineation of a bottom up, feed forward model in contrast to the traditional top down, feed backward one. Recent research in robotics and fuzzy logic suggests ways in which artificial as well as living systems pursue bottom up, feed forward ethological solutions to practical problems. The authors' extended discussion of their exciting work teaching sign language to chimpanzees vividly illustrates the application of the basic principles of learning elucidated in the book.
