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,...
