008 - Adrenaline Dumps, Fear Management and Combat Psychology with Tony Blauer
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
Want to find out more about the psychology of combat? Tony Blauer is the head of Blauer Tactical Systems which specializes in close quarter tactics & scenario-based training for law enforcement, military and professional self-defense instructors.
We had a great conversation about Crossfit, fear management, adrenaline dumps, and his 'conversion' to BJJ. And it's all pretty relevant stuff! Everybody (who's not insane) feels fear, whether we're freaked out about sparring somebody new, entering our first BJJ tournament, fighting MMA, or defending ourselves on the street. And so we should know how to deal with it
