Last weekend we shot the next series of Inside The Team Room with Drago, Brandon, Shayne and Mike in the SOFREP hangar—beers and whiskey in hand. A few SOFREP 300 members joined and got to drink a few beers, chat with the guys, and meet everyone on site. It was nice meeting you all […]
Jack Murphy takes us behind the punch with Jim West in a new series about the most likely encounters you could have in bar fights, street fights, and women’s self-defense. If they haven’t already, I think Drago and Jim should meet.
You’re in a bar, on the street, or in a situation where some guy gets all riled up and aggressive, confronts you and pushes you. Maybe they don’t want to start hitting immediately, maybe they’re just trying to escalate things, but the intent is obvious. In the words of Bill Murray, “It’s go time.”
Jim West provides some basic, reliable moves for women to defend against an abuser – husband, boyfriend, drunk in a bar – who attempts to angrily grab the woman’s wrist to control her. Jim starts by showing how to react when the abuser grabs the wrist, the stance to take, the moves to make, and […]

Jim West demonstrates how most people do the choke, talks about the reasons why attacking the eyes is so effective, then demonstrates […]
There are a lot of ways for a man or a woman to get cornered and trapped by an aggressor who uses a two-handed choke. Jim West demonstrates how to escape the two-handed choke by using a simple technique involving the eyes, then escaping the clutches of the aggressor.
By now you’ve seen and heard some good street fighting techniques that can help you get out of the fight. You’ve probably also learned a few things about fighting real dirty. Jim West says: “I always go to the groin…and I try to lift the guy off of the ground.” Jim West doesn’t teach you […]
