Extensive selection of self defense tools utilizing all forms of media that take you from base principles to complete and immediately useable applications of the entire TFT System.
The fastest way to ingrain the TFT System into your subconscious is to follow a specific path of instruction. Now there are two ways to accomplish this.
Injuring the Groin – Part 1 covered the myths and misconceptions of strikes to the groin. I appreciated all the responses to that blog and now want to focus on illustrating real injury to the groin.
To do so I have 3 different videos that clearly show the effects of a groin strike as well as some graphic pics of male anatomy showing the results of strikes to the groin.
I don’t show this graphic material to be gratuitous but to educate and ( at the risk of offending some people) I feel strongly that you cant sugarcoat this information.
As always, please leave your thoughts and comments below.

PS: Some of you are asking me to increase the size of the videos. This may easily be accomplished after you start the video by sliding your mouse on the video and clicking the full screen icon at the far right of the timeline bar (it’s a little icon with arrows pointing out at a 45 degree angle). This allows you to view the blog video in a full screen mode.
PPS: Don’t forget our Thanksgiving sale that’s currently in progress. You can check it out here.
Continuing down that basic path, today I want to look at probably the most talked about yet most misunderstood and misguided target on the body — the Groin.
Since there’s a lot to share with you, I’m going to break this into 2 parts.
This video focuses on the ‘misunderstood and misguided’ I mentioned above. In Part 2, we’ll look at actual results of groin strikes including some pictures I must warn you now, are very graphic and possibly difficult to view. I’ll discuss more about this in my prelude to Part 2.
Again, thanks for your feedback as we continue using this medium to deliver information.

Usually the question is leveled as a kind of shocked riposte, a condemnation for what it is we train.
Through experience I’ve found that the easy answer, “Well, wouldn’t you want to know how to do it if that’s exactly what you needed to survive?” fails, weirdly, as the initial question itself shows a revulsion for holding the idea—let alone the skill—within themselves.
It’s no more appealing than putting a live snake down their pants. The real answer is, “If a loved one needed it, wouldn’t you want them to know how?”
As distasteful as the idea is to see yourself thinking it, training it, doing it it’s just a tad more palatable to imagine someone you love surviving the worst day of their life and making it back home to you. Of course, the logical extension is wouldn’t you want to do the same for them? That is, take responsibility for your own well-being and do your absolute best to come back home to them?
Situations requiring the hands-on physical destruction of another human being are thankfully rare, the same way that you probably haven’t had to save yourself from drowning too many times. (I’ve personally had to not-drown twice, and I hope to never, ever have to do it again.) If what we’re training for is so very rare, why spend so much time and energy training for it? Why train at all?
