Today, Jim makes SOFREP’s Jack Murphy feel a bit of pain (watch Jack’s face) as he strikes his hypoglossal nerve. If you don’t know what or where that is, don’t worry; Jim will explain it in the video.
A blow like that will stun your opponent and hopefully “put them out of business” (temporarily), thus ending the fight.
