“Being a police officer I thought that my gun was the most lethal weapon. I now know that my brain is the most lethal weapon and I no longer will fear over getting into a situation where I can’t get to my weapon or whether someone attempts to take my weapon. Excellent!” Aaron Gardiner Sheriff Deputy, Houston, [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“…In one single weekend I was no longer afraid to walk down any street anywhere. You can’t put a price on that kind of peace of mind and self-confidence. In fact, I couldn’t have paid enough money for the value received and lessons learned.” Joe Lowry New Rochelle, NY var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language [...]

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 [...]

“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, [...]

“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. In my first experience with martial arts, I ended up behind someone and had a wide-open kidney shot and was immediately chastised for taking it even though it [...]

“What I found to be the biggest benefit of the training is the mental attitude necessary to carry it through. The mindset, pro-active thought and action, thinking in series, targeting a goal, all have significant application in everyday life.” B. Jeffrey Madoff, Director New York, NY var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = [...]

“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.

“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 [...]

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’ve had a lot of weapons training with [my husband - a police officer]. NOTHING was as effective as this course. The gun in my hand, or the knife in my hand, was in my way at this point. I couldn’t believe what my hands could do! And if there’s a woman out there that’s [...]

“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 [...]

“I was looking for a self defense DVD for my daughter who had been approached by a sexual predator a while back. I talked to you over the phone and told you my daughter’s situation and you suggested the Striking Series. I took a chance and ordered it. As I started watching I knew right [...]

“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 [...]

“Will take any fighter far beyond their next level.” “I have 12+ training in shorin-ryu karate. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on seminars from pressure point fighting to knife attack defenses. After viewing the simplicity of your DVD package I finally have pulled my head out the sand. I could never figure out how to make [...]

“Far superior to anything I have seen before from any source” “I have purchased a number of your video packages and just want to make the comment that as good as the first package was (New York live training series), the Leverage package is far superior to anything I have seen before from any source. As [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

Using the disarm you taught us, 3 TIMES I took the pistol away from him without being ’shot.’” “Yesterday I was a part of a pistol certification course put on by [a well-known and highly regarded instructor] for a major US city Police Department SWAT team. “To make a long story short — at [...]

“Far exceeded my expectations, very realistic and practical techniques obviating the need for ANY: a) previous experience, b) size, and c) ability.” Name withheld (proof on file) Cardiac Surgeon Las Vegas, NV var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“We’ve seen them all but [TFT] was the most effective five days of training in hand-to-hand and hand-to-weapon that I and everyone else had ever experienced.” Brian, Federal Law Enforcement Officer South Carolina var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“I’ve watched all the NY videotapes and they have totally transcended my expectations. I’ve purchased [other] tapes and even attended [other live training] camps. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of all the principles involved. However, the quantity AND quality of information on these tapes just blew me away completely.”

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 [...]

“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 those, [...]

“Practical, no nonsense, save-your-life training.” Bryan Kelly Chicago, IL var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“While I always had a tendency to act, I now have a commitment to act. The difference is confidence and the knowledge provided in this course. Absolutely useable!! Incredible value!” Name withheld (proof on file) CEO, Software company Vancouver, BC, Canada var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, [...]

“I’ve trained as an amateur boxer, then judo, Japanese karate, Korean karate to 6th degree level, full contact fighting in Japan with Tai kick boxers, plus many street altercations, and not one of my many teachers ever explained the impact our strikes had on the central nervous system. I’m a lot older now and no [...]

“Allowed me to increase my striking power by at least 50%!” “The Striking Series has opened up a whole new level of striking power for me and my training partners. I’ve been in martial arts/self defence for 20 years and thought I had a good handle on using body mechanics to generate hitting power. However, the [...]

“Using the disarm you taught us, 3 TIMES I took the pistol away from him without being shot.’” “Yesterday I was a part of a pistol certification course put on by [a well-known and highly regarded instructor] for a major US city Police Department SWAT team. “To make a long story short — at the end [...]

“I loved it! Tim you have made the art of war a simple and very straightforward task. You answered all of my questions thoroughly in a very easy to understand way. You demonstrated every move no matter how many times it took and explained until I understood. My training at home will never be the [...]

“What I’ve learned has definitely escalated my skills to a whole new level.” “…when I came to Tim Larkin’s training in Dallas…I was doubtful as to whether or not someone could take a weekend training and be able to apply it effectively and especially in a lethal way, which he is talking about in all the [...]

“It’s real, scientific, and it works.” Dennis Burns Indianapolis, IN var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

No one else is doing this kind of useful training… “Excellent. No one else is doing this kind of useful training. It’s a base knowledge that you can use for the rest of your life. The new format of not working from a strike teaches you not to wait and to [...]

“It gives a 360 degree understanding of the subject. I possessed the physical side and understanding but I could never fully understand the mental part. Once I finished your book I realized I could get the job done if need be… without hesitation. The way you communicate so clearly on the subject, I can see [...]

“An outstanding product” “What makes TFT’s Joint Breaking Series an outstanding product is the thorough research of the principles involved in the destruction of any joint in the human body, along with the clear and very understandable explanation that is presented in the DVD’s. I must say that in my forty plus years in the study [...]

“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” [...]

“Finally I have learned something that applies to real life situations! The TFT camp exceeded my expectations from the material taught and it’s application in real life to the superior teaching method applied.” Steven LaMania Bradenton, FL var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, [...]

“The TFT material has shed light on the grey area of violence. So simple to understand, anyone can pick it up and learn the truth about surviving an undesirable situation. One of the most significant reads I’ve come across. I highly recommend it!” Justin Negrete, Madison, WI var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]
