How to prepare to for military Special Operations - with former Army Ranger John Lovell. Whether you are planning on becoming an Army Ranger, Navy SEAL, USMC Raider, Air Force PJ or CCT, joining Special Forces, etc., your preparation will look generally the same. You need to become extremely physically fit focusing mostly on endurance and agility, your feet need to get toughened up and above all, you must develop an incredibly tough mind. In this video I attempt to cover these topics and give some helpful advice, tips, tricks, and also I attempt to give you a tiny glimpse of what to expect.

Preventing Sexual Assault - Tactics and Firearms Instructor John Lovell gives an overview of the problem and gives tips to ensure listeners do not fall victim to sexual predators. The statistics are staggering (see following paragraph for more information on the validity/falsity of these statistics). 1 in 4 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes and 1 in 6 men will be. Statistics such as this have come about from a handful of different comprehensive studies on sex crimes, one of which being the 'national Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey' which was supported by the Department of Defense and the National Institute of Justice. Media outlets such as the New York Times, Time Magazine, and major networks like Fox have covered this subject and cited similar findings. It is apparent that steps must be taken to raise awareness and prevention. The FBI reports significantly lower numbers because they are showing what is reported (and the majority of sexual assaults go unreported) and they are publishing statistics on a particular definition of rape as opposed to sexual assault.

*Some studies show 1 in 4 are sexually assaulted, others 1 in 5 or 1 in 6, and still others will say all of these numbers are outrageously inflated because of reasons such as (1) the participation rate on these surveys are low and the most likely to respond are those who feel the most passionately, therefore the numbers are inflated. (2) the term 'sexual assault' was either not defined at all, or was so broadly defined, that it led the outcome of the survey to be exaggerated. For those who have 'debunked' the statistics above, others have come and debunked the debunkers, and so on. It is also important to note that some have confused the broader term of sexual assault with the more narrow term of 'rape' which again will lead to very different numbers. I think it is fair to say that no one can be sure of the real numbers because of the hidden nature of the crime, differences in definitions, lack of participation, lack of reporting, and victims reluctance to oftentimes to speak about. The numbers may be worse than what I communicated, and it is possible they are a good bit better. REGARDLESS - LET US MOVE TO PREVENT SEXUAL ASSAULT BECAUSE EVEN IF THE NUMBERS ARE 1 OUT OF 100, THAT IS STILL NOT ACCEPTABLE.

In this video I attempt to relay some of the basic statistics, then cover the common ways and places people are raped or sexually victimized. Lastly, my goal is to give tips to aid in the prevention of those listening to falling prey to sexual predators.

Episode 3 - Preparing Your Mind for the Fight - 'No Unfinished Business' with instructor John Lovell. There have been piles of books written on the right types of weapons, shooting methods, fitness, legal considerations, and other self-defense related topics, but THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC of MINDSET is rarely discussed. This video series on 'Building Fighter Mindset' is Instructor John Lovell's attempt to cover some of the biggest areas of what comprises good fighter mindset and how to build such a mindset. This video and the videos following will include (but not be limited to) subcategories of mindset such as: being ready to die, being ready to kill, mastering your fear, physiological effects of fear, fighting for a higher purpose, what happens to you when you die and how theology is relevant to gunfighting, using rage to your advantage, thinking calmly amidst the chaos of a violent encounter, ridding yourself of despair or regret, and much more.

Warrior Poets of the Past: King David - Tactics and Firearms Instructor John Lovell outlines the life of King David, ancient King of Israel. We are well informed about the Warrior King David from careful preserved historical manuscripts compiled in the Bible. He was a God-fearing man of conviction, a skilled warrior, a magnetic and charismatic leader, and a great lover of the people he was devoted to protect. Not only should history remember him as one of the greatest warriors of the past, but also as one of the greatest men. We would do well to learn from his example as we strive to be better people and better protectors.

Because defensive shooting requires protectors to shoot accurately and quickly under stress, how a gun is held becomes very important. In this video I will give some simple tricks that will allow shooters to reduce muzzle flip and run the pistol flat absorbing recoil. The secret is not in gripping the pistol tightly, rather it is in the proper biomechanics, grip pressures, and contact points.

Could You Take a Life?? How can you be sure? In this video I talk about the different issues that go into enabling you to use justifiable use of force to defend yourself or to defend others. Violent encounters can bring about debilitating fear that can cause people to freeze, run, or hide, when they really meant to fight. In order to rise to the occasion, we must be ready on multiple levels. Get training on firearms, get training on basic tactics, answer the harder philosophical, and theological questions, understand your state's laws, build fighter mindset to conquer your fear, etc.

Because defensive shooting requires protectors to shoot accurately and quickly under stress, how a gun is held becomes very important. In this video I will demonstrate the difference between a good grip and a bad grip relating to muzzle flip on the range, and I will walk through the biomechanical reasons why a thumbs-forward grip is the best pistol grip to date. Proper grip should allow the gun to stay flat even while the slide is quickly cycling. Visit Telluric Group for world class training. Champion competitive shooters such as Dave Sevigny, Bob Vogel, Shane Coley, JJ Racaza use this grip, as well as SWAT teams and members of the military's special operations.
