“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 timing of the course could not have been more perfect. I am a frequent traveler. Taking a trip is not what it used to be. Before September 11,2001 I did not think about actually flying. Now, when I board a plane my mind thinks of possible ill-fated scenarios that can occur while flying. What [...]

“…exactly as advertised — intense, targeted, focused training designed to produce immediate results.”

“Awesome — very thorough, very easy to understand. A difficult topic to discuss coming from a white, middle class upbringing. [Class was] challenging but not impossible for any size person, male or female. Life Changing — Important — Thorough — Complete!”

“Real world self defense.” No flying thru the air, no yelling, no meditating. Just straight to the heart principles that anyone can use.” Martin Lingle San Jose, CA

“I have 15 years of training, Tae Kwon Do to Aikido, a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. I never stuck with one for more than 2 years like lots of folks. Each got redundant. I felt I walked out of the dojo without anything I could practically use on the street. So I hopped from one [...]

“As far as police defensive tactics training — it’s light years ahead. PDTT is still in the ’50’s.and because of that guys aren’t getting the real deal. They’re getting stuff that’s gonna get them hurt in the street. Even a lot of the people who are teaching commercially to police are just taking a chance [...]

You said that in the days after the TFT course it would be natural to find ourselves thinking about what we have learned. You were right. I have written a few thoughts after taking my first TFT course on June 7, 8, 9. I hope you enjoy them. “I have found my TFT training to [...]

“Presented at an intellectual level beyond any product I have seen!” “As a male approaching 60 with his best fighting years behind him, I was looking for training addressing life-or-death situations which have become all to numerous in the Milwaukee area.

“I’m much better prepared to protect my life” I thought the joint-breaking series was excellent. I’m two discs into finishing it for the second time. Joint breaking is a gruesome subject and I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to stomach it at first but after watching these two guys pour over the material with [...]

“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 [...]

“I couldn’t put it down. Read it in one sitting. It’s a brilliant study on the use of violence as a tool and its use in social, asocial, & antisocial settings. If you’re considering the purchase of any self defense tool or training I highly recommend you read this book before doing so. You won’t [...]

“By far one of the most devastating systems I’ve trained in.” “As President of the International Society of Close Quarter Combatants, I’ve seen and tested perhaps hundreds of various martial arts and self defense programs.

Well, surprise of [...]

The ONE I could not stop watching… “I have every DVD series but this was the ONE I could not stop watching. So inspiring that I want to sign up for the mastery class. I especially liked the attention to detail with body positioning and follow through. The material was intense and well constructed. Great [...]

“When I first learned about Tim Larkin and that he would be coming to New York to do a training session, I was very intrigued. While I did think that his hand to hand combat training might be useful to me, I was probably more fascinated with the prospect of seeing what this “trained killer” [...]

You don’t need to be a world class athlete with superhuman strength, speed or agility to make it work… “Anyone can learn to do this, and you don’t need to be a world class athlete with superhuman strength, speed or agility to make it work. Tim, you have my unqualified recommendation. I know this is [...]

“I have nearly 20 years law enforcementexperience and this training is clean cut no BS straight to the point. All those years and not until now that I have a tool I can use and develop. This is the best training I have had. Exceeded my expectations. A Life changing experience!”

“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 [...]

“The biggest benefit I received from your training is a tremendous increase in self-confidence. I really feel that if I have to, I can defend myself and my family. This confidence permeates though all my thoughts, dreams, feelings, and relationships. How can you put a price on that? — You can’t, it’s priceless. “I think [...]

“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

“A real-eye opener” “I have found the Lethal Leverage DVD series to be a real-eye opener. Not being a highly trained martial artist I have had only limited exposure to this area and that exposure principally through books. I have found this medium to be, for me at least, totally inadequate as I found visualizing [...]

“This book will quickly strip away your ingrained, false perceptions about hand-to-hand combat and give you confidence that, with an understanding of what is really needed for victory, you could actually defend yourself against any attacker, regardless of differentials in size, aggressiveness, or skill level.” Scott Nelson, Houston, TX

“…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 [...]

“All I can say is – why didn’t anyone tell me about you sooner? Most people waste countless years searching for the answer to the question, “How would I defend myself (and my family) in a life-or-death confrontation?” That question leads many down the wrong path — they go to the gym to get bigger [...]

“Learned more in 2 days than 15 years of MA training” “I’ve learned more that would be practical in the street in the last 2 days than all 15 years put together! As a matter of fact, I think I’ll have to undo some of my martial arts training and focus on what we’ve learned [...]

“I found Tim’s knowledge especially practical and applicable in ways which I have never imagined previously. His style is efficient; it’s designed to achieve the maximal effect in the least amount of time. The most amazing aspect is how simple and easy it is to learn. Even though I’ve had training in the martial arts, [...]

“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 [...]

“Very well constructed” “It’s marvelous, because it reduces the whole thing to basic principles: three rotation axes, and two directions of rotation about each one – six base leverages; what does it take to bring any one of those leverages to the pathological limit, and beyond? That’s IT. Nothing more needs to be added. From [...]

“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 [...]
