“For the value received and lessons learned — Priceless.”

“It was so easy… I could handle people in this class, and I’m sure on the street, who were much, much taller than me, much heavier than me, much younger than me and much stronger than me… I was able to handle them with ease. If you have any concerns for your safety, this is [...]

The absolute best in their field. Everyone else is four steps behind… “Intense, effective, highly recommended. An incredible experience. Larkin and his instructors are the absolute best in their field. Everyone else is four steps behind. What I liked was the intensity, the lack of unnecessary info, jargon and fluff. A complete focus on the [...]

“I recently purchased the 17 DVD set and I am truly amazed at the research you have done and the way you have distilled the essence into an easy to understand and apply method. Regard’s,” W. W. Gorski Montana

“Practical, no nonsense, save-your-life training.” Bryan Kelly Chicago, IL

“Way beyond what I expected!” “It’s obvious that a lot of thought went into the course. The instructors KNOW their information and present it in a way that shows that without being condescending. Your verbal and visual teaching method really worked well for me. Well Done! Ooh-rah! from an old Marine. “The training restored my [...]

“I was fortunate to have undergone training just 2 days before the disaster on Sept 11… the training I had received would have taken over and served me, and my country, well. Unfortunately, in this day and age of violence, it is extremely important to learn how to protect yourself and your family. Since taking [...]

“The biggest benefit is the confidence gained through the use of the proper mindset and the realization of how easy it is to defeat the majority of attacks you may face through some of the simplest of actions. It was made very clear about how easy the body can be destroyed if need be but [...]

It is very safe, with emphasis on control… “My first experience [with TFT] was life changing. In fact a lot of the principles are diametrically opposed to what they teach you in other martial arts…It is very safe, with emphasis on control. I’ve taken 3 or 4 different versions of martial arts and combat training [...]

“I travel a lot in my work as a marketing consultant. Some of our multi national clients have offices in countries that aren’t on “the safest places to visit” list. Couple that with having to fly almost every international airline several times a year and my chances of becoming a victim of Anti-American sentiment may [...]

“This greatly increased my self-confidence in a threatening situation. I have always wanted to take a course in martial arts but realized that it would take years before I would be at a point that it would be beneficial. In two days, I feel like I was able to attain a level of training to [...]

“TFT is totally different from what I’ve been taught to do in Tae Kwon Do!” Sean Mullins Bakersfield, CA

“After learning all the strategic and tactical stuff, I can really take action. It’s incredible. I’m so empowered after just 3 days. It’s just amazing…” John Coleman, Microsoft Executive New York, NY

Tim showed us some really good methods to defuse situations, or turn the situation around where you’re no longer being attached, you’re the attacker. He keeps the instructions simple, [...]

“I never expected that I’d really want to go home and show my son (who’s only 4) and my nieces and nephews these techniques, but now (I realize) that even though they are very young, they can do very simple things to keep themselves out of trouble.” Tim Austin, Financial Services Executive Wisconsin

“I figured it’s got to be a lot more difficult than it was. I actually can’t believe how easy learning these offensive moves to protect yourself or your loved ones was. I think it should be taught at a lot younger age so that it becomes second nature to you, and as you’re growing up [...]

“Very different from any other Martial Arts or Fighting class I’ve taken.” Greg Weber Arvada, CO

“Target Focus Training is not about an individual. Even though Tim Larkin created it, it truly is a ‘system’ and all the instructors that are part of the team are amazing and in sync. All work off the principles and the systems, and while you see nuances that are exciting in each instructor, there is [...]

“…the approach & philosophy of his training will be with me forever.” “I can say without hesitation that after two days with Tim I know that if I were placed in a situation where I would have to protect myself, my friends or my family that I would be prepared. The few black and blue [...]

“It’s real, scientific, and it works.” Dennis Burns Indianapolis, IN

“Frankly, I went to Tim Larkin’s training kicking and screaming. I truly had no interest in attending, being part of the practice time, or wasting time learning skills I know I would never use. But through the constant, gentle, persuasion by (a friend), I attended. “When I arrived at the training, I sat in the [...]

“This course exceeded my expectations. As a Vietnam vet (Navy) I was sent to a first-class swimming course designed to train a person to rescue downed pilots. The training was long and are a is worth it weeks time. I learned and experienced a lot. But this weekend I put ahead of that experience. Incredible [...]

“I look forward to more learning and practice.” “This weekend course gave me a clear understanding of the principles involved in neutralizing an opponent. Unlike all the forms of self-defense and martial arts I’ve been exposed to, this program really identified the purpose of various moves and strikes. The concept of an opponent, regardless of [...]

“What I like was the simplicity: find a target, hit a target and continue ’til done. You can teach anyone this program. Different than any other training you’ve probably had.” Eric, Federal Law Enforcement Officer Goose Creek, SC

“Strips away all my preconceived notions about violence!” “The bootcamp is about as subtle as a freight train! By that I mean, you guys strip away preconceived notions I had about violence and put solid facts in their place. [TFT] removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear.” Matthew Hall Network [...]

“…these were the most effective days of training in hand-to-hand and hand-to-weapon that I, or everyone else, had ever experienced.” Brian (Agent attending the live training) US Border Patrol

“You don’t have to be extremely strong to Strike HARD” “I have been trained in boxing and tae-kwon-do and I thought striking someone involved punching, kicking, elbows, etc. and I also assumed that I needed ’X’ amount of strength to put the KA-POW into it. What I learned from the Striking Series is that you don’t need to [...]

“It was one of the best experiences of my life. The way Tim and the other trainers present the info it is very easy to understand, even with no prior training. I liked the simplicity of the moves and how affective they are with minimal effort.” Russ Folcka Murrieta, CA

“I believe that I must express my respect and gratitude to the creators and implementers of this educational product-system who exceeded all my expectations for their vision, discipline, passion, ethics, courage, dedication, and enthusiasm to help others to live better lives.

“My expectation prior to coming here was to learn a little more than what the videotapes had conferred. I thought I had a [pretty good] handle on the principles but found out I didn’t know squat. The class has truly been a life changing experience for both my son and me. Needless to say, it [...]

“I was amazed at the systemic clarity of your system” “Before entering the teaching profession I spent many years in the personal protection field both here and abroad. I have trained extensively in many of the combat oriented arts and have field tested virtually all of the arts I have studied in the course of [...]

“I’ve always been interested in martial arts but this totally changed my thinking. It started with emails. I signed up for [Tim Larkin’s] email newsletter and from an email I actually changed a situation that actually happened to me outside in the street! And after that situation I said if I learned that much from [...]

“I figured it’s got to be a lot more difficult than it was. I actually can’t believe how easy learning these offensive moves to protect yourself or your loved ones was. I think it should be taught at a lot younger age so that it becomes second nature to you, and as you’re growing up [...]

“I have not even finished viewing the second disc of your new, live training magnum opus, “Surviving the Most Critical 5 Seconds of Your Life” and yet feel compelled to write. This is – far and away – the single best investment I have made toward authentic self-protection (I train under Vladimir Vasiliev, so that [...]

“Easily worth 5 times what I paid!” “I think of all the years of practice that could have gone to other things — and I’d still have been a better fighter. It was easily worth 5 times what I paid.” George Davis International Financial Consultant Laguna Beach, CA

“Through the techniques Tim showed us I realized how easy it was to overcome an individual no matter what their size was. Also how effective it was compared to other training I have had in the past. I would like to continue with this training and show it to my family and close friends. I [...]

“To the point, no non-sense, get-the-job-done stuff.” “I received your joint breaking videos and they are the real deal. I have taken Hapkido for two years and a couple months of Kung Fu San Soo and this is the first time I feel like I can actually teach someone to break a joint or joint [...]

“…Doing things that will impact my life forever.” “Frankly, I went to Tim Larkin’s training kicking and screaming. I truly had no interest in attending, being part of the practice time, or wasting time learning skills I know I would never use. But through the constant, gentle, persuasion by (a friend), I attended. “When I [...]

“The new target chart is simply terrific, well done, and absofreekin beautiful. I’m running out tonight to have it matted and framed, to hang in the house, so the entire family will gain from the knowledge it contains. Just another well produced TFT product, as is everything you have put out at this point. I patiently [...]

“The course has instilled a quiet confidence in me. This confidence stems from Tim’s lessons, which have showed me that my brain is my most dangerous weapon, and this weapon is now armed with the knowledge of how best to deal with a wide range of violent scenarios. From knife attacks to crowd control situations [...]
