Anger doesn’t win fights: Learn to lose with your head on straight

All too often, we tend to associate anger and aggression with masculinity. It’s an excusable mistake, the same hormone cocktail that made me a big, hairy lug also serves as chemical encouragement any time I feel the need to punch my way out of a situation… but if you ask me, a far more appropriate […]

How to throw a punch like a Marine

The Marine Corps Martial Arts Program has been the basic hand-to-hand combat system employed by the United States Marine Corps since 2002, and as I’ve written about in the past, it tends to get dragged through the mud by young guys with limited experience and a lot of bravado. In order to complete recruit training, […]

Winning the fight: The biggest, strongest guy in the bar usually isn’t the one you need to worry about

For the security conscious, walking into a crowded bar usually isn’t your idea of a good time. Crowds are exceptionally good at concealing threats, and those who have built careers (either legitimate or otherwise) by being a threat know that. These days, I’m a pretty big fella. At six feet tall and around 245 pounds, […]

Teaching an old dog new tricks: I may not be the Marine I once was but I’m cool with that

Since becoming a dad, there’s been a running joke among my friends and family about how fatherhood is making me soft. It’s a fair observation to make: I do spend a lot more time watching animated animals sing nursery rhymes now, and words like “cute” and “adorable” are now a part of my day-to-day vocabulary… […]

Pat McNamara: A gun does not mean that you are armed, Learn to fight

Like many of you do, I was mindlessly scrolling through my social media newsfeed the other day and came across a short and comical video posted by Pat McNamara. Though it was brief, it echoed an important sentiment that isn’t discussed as much as it probably should be in conversations about everyday carry (EDC), concealed carry […]

Improvised Weapons: Soft Skills 101

If you are a Digital Nomad, or a frequent flyer, or someone who just eats breakfast with their kid at school you’ll likely find yourself disarmed at some point. Metal detectors, pat-downs and more prevent you from carrying a gun, a knife, or even a multi-tool. In this regard, we have to start looking at […]

Tactikey: Your Covert Defense Choice

Tactikey: Your Covert Defense Choice

Weaponry comes in tiers. The tiers are often related to its concealment and its effectiveness, as well as where and when it can be carried. There is a purpose for a wide variety of weaponry, some more lethal than others, some easier to use than others, and of course some are just easy to carry. […]

Watch the Remembrance Rumble 2 documentary now

On November 11th, Remembrance Day, former SAS operators met a group of former U.S. Marines in the ring for pride, for glory, and best of all, for charity.  Remembrance Rumble 2 was broadcast live all around the world on SOFREP TV’s Facebook page, raising nearly $43,000 for organizations that support veterans in the United States […]
