About the Book

Bestselling writer Loren W. Christensen has written many well-reviewed how-to-do books. In Musings on Violence, Loren takes a different approach and conveys his thoughts on training for violence, surviving it as it happens, and managing the aftermath. He also discusses what it means to be a warrior-a martial artist, a cop, soldier, and citizen

Loren has been a martial artist since 1965. He is an inductee into the martial arts Masters Hall of Fame and holds an 10th dan in American Free Style karate, a 2nd dan in jujitsu, and a 1st dan in arnis.

A 29-year veteran of law enforcement (ret), Loren brawled one-on-one with outlaw bikers, an Olympic Games powerlifter, construction workers, anarchists, crazed dopers, and the violent mentally deranged.

As a Military Policeman in war-torn Saigon, Vietnam (then ranked the most dangerous city in the world), he experienced, as he said in a recent interview, "twenty years of violent police work condensed into 12 months."

In short, Loren knows what he's talking about.
