A quick, but related, aside that fits with recent posts about Musashi's Book of Five Rings. This time it's a quick plug for a nice little e-book (for Kindle) by none other than reality-based combatives legend Peyton Quinn.
Peyton is a pioneer of adrenal stress training, and has been doing this stuff for decades. He runs a unique facility in the Rocky Mountains call RMCAT, where he provides short courses on adrenal stress training combat using the Bulletmen. RMCAT developed alongside FAST (Peyton and Bill Kipp have always worked closely together) and grew out of (among other things) the Model Mugging programme created by the incredible Matt Thomas. Peyton's stuff, like FAST, is cutting edge. And it uses that edge to cut away the crap to get to what's crucial and useful in self-protection.
Peyton appreciates the brilliance of Musashi's work and insights - the work of a man who's survived numerous duels and battles - and breaks down some of the more pertinent passages of the book and analyses them. Unsurprisingly, much of what Musashi was writing about was the overcoming of fear in much the same way as Peyton has done at RMCAT.
The e-book can be purchased via Amazon here:
