“The First… And Only… Book That Makes The Case For Using Violence As Your Ultimate Survival Tool

It’s titled…

How to Survive the Most Critical 5 Seconds of Your Life: Unique Principles & Powerful Methods for Effective Self Protection in Our Increasingly Violent 21st Century Self Defense Survival Book

and it’s the first book ever written for the everyday layperson that clearly and unemotionally makes the case for using violence as your ultimate survival tool.

Controversial yet compelling it’s being called “the only book of its kind that takes you behind the scenes of true criminal violence and shows you WHAT you must do to survive it.

” It’s not a book about techniques. In fact, there are none included. Focusing on “how” you’re going to stop some thug is a critical reason almost no one has any idea how to actually survive violence.

it’s the reason why this book flips everything around, starting instead with the end result and working backwards. It looks at why a criminal is so successful without any training at all. And what you must do to counter that. And because of this… it’s like no book you’ve ever read.

The Forward

A really great way to get a feeling for what’s included is to simply look at the book’s forward:

“The art of war is simple enough. Find out where the enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can and as often as you can, and keep moving on.” — General U.S. Grant

There are many different reasons you might start reading this book, but the only reason to finish it is if you want to protect yourself and your family from violence. That’s it. You see, I’m not just going to give you a few techniques to ward off a local thug. I don’t want to level the playing field. I want to skew it in your favor. In other words, I want to make sure that if you’re ever in a violent situation, you walk away with your life.

But to do that, you need to know something about the principles of what you’re doing. It’s educating yourself about the facts of violence. Without it, you’re doing what everyone else is doing—just learning techniques for specific situations. And by the time you finish this book, you’ll understand why that’s a recipe for disaster.

It truly amazes me how many people just stumble into various martial arts or combat sports never having once considered why they’re doing it. If you’re training your body to participate in competitions, then you’ll find numerous martial arts and combat sports that provide excellent instruction and challenging forms of competition. These give you the opportunity to exercise your abilities in a safe situation, with rules and supervision agreed upon in advance.

Combat sports can teach you effective tactics for fighting, and they’re great for getting into shape. Unfortunately, however, if “sport fighting” is your thing, this book will not say a thing to you. I’m talking about real violence, the kind we all want to avoid. I’m talking about learning to effectively deal with real life-or-death threats. And that’s completely different from combat sport fighting.

At this point, you might be wondering why you can’t do both. Or maybe you’re wondering why you should know how to fight at all. Maybe you’re thinking that’s why we have social institutions such as the police—to defend us and keep us safe from life-or-death situations.

But this book addresses the place where social communication ends and real violence begins—places where you have no control over your opponent. In other words, this book addresses those situations we all try to pretend don’t exist.

The real question is, if you’re unfortunate enough to find yourself in a life-or-death situation, will you have the ability to defend yourself and your family? Because in that moment, nothing else will matter.

If you want to know the truth about self-defense, read on. You might not like what I have to say. But if you keep reading, I guarantee you’ll come to see the truth: There’s only one way you’ll ever be prepared to walk away from a life-or-death situation.

Tim Larkin

With that in mind, the following table of contents lets you see how this book, logically and systematically, walks you through the case for using violence. As you glance through these you’ll quickly note that none of these are chapter you’ll find in other books at your local bookstore. It’s truly a “roadmap for survival” that no one’s ever presented before.

Cerebral Self Defense Laws Vs Physical Reality

January 19, 2010 by Tim Larkin

Rockslide

You take your family on a drive along a beautiful mountain road.

The kids are looking off to the left at the amazing view as your car hugs the mountain on the right.

Suddenly, small rocks begin dropping, hitting the road, and pelting off your car.

In a moment of terror you recognize it’s the start of an avalanche. You’ve thought about this possibility in the past and now its ‘go’ time.

What are you gonna do as the rocks continue to fall — faster and bigger?

You want to take action, in fact, your foot is straining to hit the accelerator. Yet you hesitate!

Tim Larkin

Tim Larkin Creator, Target Focus Training


Researching and perfecting effective fighting methods is a life-long passion for Mr. Larkin. Through repeated exposure to combat sports and martial arts, he became highly proficient at both during his youth.

Following graduation from college, Mr. Larkin was injured in a diving accident while undergoing US Navy SEAL Training and was medically disenrolled from the program, leaving him unable to reach his goal of becoming a SEAL officer.

Due to his superior performance, he was reassigned to a support role as Special Warfare Intelligence Officer for the Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command (the Admiral in charge of all SEAL Teams).

In this support position for the SEAL Teams Larkin worked with senior SEAL Officers and many Special Operations Units in the US and NATO military together with other government agencies on a variety of mission specific intelligence issues.

Because of his extensive martial arts and combat sports background, the Admiral assigned Larkin to a special group of senior SEAL operators for the daunting task of researching and developing a more effective form of hand-to-hand combat training than was then currently employed by these elite special operations warriors.

After an exhaustive review, every single martial art or combat sport fighting system had been rejected. Some because they required excessive training time; others couldn’t handle modern weapons; while many were simply ineffective in combat.

As a member of this group, Mr. Larkin was instrumental in implementing more effective training into SEAL and Special Operations military command by modifying principles and updating methods for modern unconventional warfare operation.

By 1991, he had helped rewrite the way the US Special Operations Community learned hand-to-hand combat and laid the groundwork for what became the Combat Fighting Course, and now, Target Focus Training (TFT).

Uniquely proficient at teaching these concepts to both Special Operations operatives and ordinary civilians, Mr. Larkin now uses TFT, a program based on his more than 20 years of research and experience, to provide a broad range of military, law enforcement and civilian clients with highly effective combat-based training for their everyday protection.

He also frequently weaves sport-specific conditioning programs throughout his training (he has the coveted Master of Fitness Sciences (MFS) certification from International Sports Sciences Association).

Since leaving active duty in 1991 he has provided hand-to-weapon instruction to the most elite members of various military, law enforcement, and corporate special operations/security units.

With a long list of CEO’s and VIP’s, as well as celebrities who demand confidentiality, below are just some of the organizations, units, and corporations who have utilized his TFT training:

* US Navy SEAL Teams

* US Army Special Forces

* FBI Hostage Rescue

* Dept of Treasury

* US Marshals

* Texas Tactical Police Officers Association

* US Border Patrol

* Las Vegas Marshals

* Ford, Mobil Oil

* Norwest Bank

* Sony, Oracle

* And many others…

As a Master Combat instructor to both military operatives and civilians, Mr. Larkin is constantly in demand by the media because of his dynamic interviews and unique ability to clearly explain his subject to all audiences.

His public live training courses are now taught around the world with scheduled classes in New York City, Dallas, Las Vegas, Seattle, Chicago, Miami, Hong Kong, Sydney, Australia and London, England.
