SOTG 916 – What is the Purpose of Fighting?

by | January 13th, 2020 | 1 comment

What is the “Gray Man” concept and how is it applied? Professor Paul will consider the use of the gray man strategy as a defensive technique and whether or not it applies to winning the fight. 

Do you understand the true purpose of fighting? We share a tremendously valuable and important quote from John Steinbeck regarding the differences between offense and defense. This goes right along with our discussion of the importance of a fighting mindset. 

Paul and Jarrad remind you about how you can win 5 days of free training from Tactical Response in Tennessee. The Shipping Ogre has some updates about the SOTG Store and the guys talk about the upcoming SHOT Show. 

Thanks for being a part of SOTG! We hope you find value in the message we share. If you’ve got any questions, here are some options to contact us:

From John Steinbeck:

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
