Why Most Self-Defense Training Falls Short

Almost all self-defense advice starts with technique.
Punches. Restraints. Escapes.
But real-world violence rarely begins there.
It starts with positioning, boundary testing, and decision-making under stress.
The Timeline of Self-Defense gives you a complete strategy instead of isolated skills.

A Clear Framework for Real-World Protection

Before 

Avoidance. Awareness. Recognition

During

Decision-making under pressure. 
Defensive Tactics

After

Legal, emotional, and practical recovery. 

What You'll Learn

• Detect problems earlier
• De-escalate aggressive encounters

• Respond when avoidance fails
• Handle the aftermath responsibly

 This Book Is For You If...

• You care about protecting yourself or your family.
• You train martial arts but want real-world context.
• You're overwhelmed by conflicting self-defense advice.
• You want clarity instead of hype.

Rory Miller, Self Defense Author

"The unique thing, unlike all other instructors I've known, is that Randy's project students get better. Not just at martial arts. They grow into amazing human beings. When evaluating an instructor, never bother looking at what they can do. Look for what the students can do. Randy's students excel."

William Kennedy, Psy.D.

"This book covers violence, not just as physical acts, but as emotional and psychological acts as well. Cybercrime as a form of violence is there. Boundary breaching as a precursor to violence is there. How to recover after the violence has passed is there as well."

Joe Saunders, CPP

 "He has a knack for cutting through pre-tense and the testosterone-infused BS that sometimes pervades the 'self-defense' community. He doesn't dress violence up or romanticize it. He treats violence as something traumatic, damaging and usually avoidable. That's the tone of this book.
