“I was really excited about coming to the training because my entire life I had been seeking out some type of martial art or combat training but didn’t know where to turn, didn’t know who to turn to. Everything was so segmented, so convoluted, almost overwhelming, and at the age of 32, I wasn’t excited about beginning a martial art and then spending the next 10 years of my life being focused on it and hoping that it would produce the result I was looking for … What I was looking for was not the art but if I was ever put in the worst, violent situation, with my wife or my child, that I would actually know what to do to take care of myself. I wanted a condensed version of a 10-year training period and get it from one of the best who really had to learn how to cut out all the ancillary stuff to deal with this kind of stuff in the military because this is what you will face in the real world. To this, Tim did an incredible job.
“He’s completely approachable. He’s one of the scariest people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and one of the most intimidating, yet totally approachable and was able to focus not on his incredible skills but how to instill those skills in each of us. You’re not really focused here on a strategy, a technique, a blue-belt, a black-belt. All he teaches you is how to focus on targets and eliminate someone who’s out there to harm you or your family.
“Another thing I got was a huge lift in self-confidence. Beyond just that you’re a successful businessperson or that you’ve had some achievements in your life, there’s always that lingering question that if you were ever taken out of your comfort zone by an attacker or mugger, how would you handle yourself. And I found the answer to that question this weekend in that I now have options.
“And I now have enormous respect for what one human being is capable of doing to another. And because of this weekend I think I will be less inclined to seek out any type of conflict because you just don’t know. Tim is a very large individual but if someone 1/10 his size were taught this same information and strategies, they could do devastation on a 400-pound individual. Which leads me to believe I don’t want to get into a conflict if I can avoid it but if I ever had to, this training gives me that exact same edge over anyone else.
“Finally, Tim focuses very, very clearly on targets and objectives and that applies directly to so many areas that you have in business and personal life.”
