Inside the Team Room: Stand and Fight With Jim West – Defensive Knife Fighting Techniques
How to protect yourself when bare hands are not enough.
Welcome to SOFREP’s Inside the Team Room.
In this segment of Stand & Fight featuring former Green Beret and combatives expert Jim West, Jim discusses his strategy for concealed weapon use following an attack. He emphasizes the importance of positioning one’s body to keep the weapon out of sight until the moment of attack. One of his favored concealment spots for a blade is within the interior of his boot, ensuring it’s reachable even when he’s downed in a vulnerable position. Once grounded, he demonstrates his preferred points for deploying the knife or tool against an assailant effectively.
