Target Focus Training - » “Amazingly Easy to Learn.”

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“Surpassed any expectations that I could have imagined! At last someone tells the truth! Everything was broken down to the simplest of terms and nothing was kept secret from anyone. Well Done!” William Allen Mapleton, ME 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 highly recommend Tim Larkin’s course to military and law enforcement personnel and civilians alike. Very realistic and to the point training. One of the things that surprised me was how Tim succeeded to get people with no martial arts background to get their strikes’ timing and range right within hours. As you know, in most martial [...]

Life changing experience… “I have nearly 20 years law enforcement experience 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. A Life changing experience!” [...]

“Gives you a life saving skill essential to successfully living in the present world. I have studied/taught martial art for 37 years and found this a refreshing and utilitarian approach to fighting I will pursue further. Definitely will change the way I practice my martial arts.” Joseph Bobovsky, Physician Yakima, WA var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var [...]

“After learning all the strategic and tactical stuff, I can really take action. It’s incredible. I’m so empowered after just 3 days. It’s just amazing…” John Coleman, Microsoft Executive New York, NY 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’;

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 [...]

“A person can attend this and get more actual fighting ability than they would by signing up for a lengthy martial arts program. As a police officer I learned more about surviving a deadly encounter [in 2½ days] than in 13 years of experience.” Rocky Triplet, Police Officer Reno, NV var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var [...]

“Money well spent!” Thomas Nishiyama Honolulu, HI 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’;

“Target Focus Training is the kind of experience that every woman should have. It’s a very intense weekend; certainly not a walk-in-the-park. But the consequences of being attacked are not a walk-in-the-park either. The unfortunate reality is we do live in a violent world and there’s a possibility of something happening… not something we really [...]

“You don’t have to be extremely strong to Strike HARD” “I have been trained in boxing and tae-kwon-do and I thought striking someone involved punching, kicking, elbows, etc. and I also assumed that I needed ’X’ amount of strength to put the KA-POW into it. What I learned from the Striking Series is that you don’t need to be [...]

“Get this Striking Series first…” “I have 10 years Shotokan Karate, 2 years Aikido and 4 years JuJitsu. Each is geared to reacting to attack from within the system. I never felt comfortable when considering a real life situation. If that sounds confusing then maybe this will explain better; in karate you are taught to block [...]

“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 [...]

“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 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 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 [...]

“One reason I came to this training is if I found myself in a life-threatening situation I wanted to be able to be able to handle that. The training accomplished that and a whole lot more. “What I hadn’t expected were the direct business applications. We are defensive by nature; all of our terminology is defensive. [...]

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 [...]

“Strips away all my preconceived notions about violence!” “The bootcamp is about as subtle as a freight train! By that I mean, you guys strip away preconceived notions I had about violence and put solid facts in their place. [TFT] removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear.” Matthew Hall Network Engineer Denton, TX var addthis_pub [...]

“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 [...]

“Extremely pleased with Lethal Leverage” I recently purchased the Lethal Leverage DVD’s and I’m extremely pleased with them. I’ve previously studied Krav Maga and BJJ, and this is the most effective method for teaching these kinds of techniques. Rather than teaching complex routines, it truly simplifies the entire range of techniques into 6 basic principles. I’m [...]

“I recently purchased the 17 DVD’s package and I can safely say I was never so pleased with my purchase. Years ago I studied Tae-kwon-do and thought I knew a little bit about defending myself. I was deeply mistaken. After watching your DVD’s I now have the confidence I have been missing. Your teaching method [...]

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 [...]

“…these were the most effective days of training in hand-to-hand and hand-to-weapon that I, or everyone else, had ever experienced.” Brian (Agent attending the live training) US Border Patrol 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’;

“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 [...]

“Your other courses have showed me WHERE, WHEN and WHY to strike, punch, and kick, but the Striking series showed me HOW.” As someone who has completed a live training session with you, and has supplemented the training with your training tapes and dvd’s, I still felt a little uneasy about my [...]

“This course exceeded my expectations. As a Vietnam vet (Navy) I was sent to a first-class swimming course designed to train a person to rescue downed pilots. The training was long and are a is worth it weeks time. I learned and experienced a lot. But this weekend I put ahead of that experience. Incredible [...]

“I have spent considerable time, money, and effort in the past on various martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, etc. and after the success of this weekend, I wish all those other “Arts” would give me a refund. Never feel like you waste any time. Everything is streamlined with a purpose and offers 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, [...]

“I never expected that I’d really want to go home and show my son (who’s only 4) and my nieces and nephews these techniques, but now (I realize) that even though they are very young, they can do very simple things to keep themselves out of trouble.” Tim Austin, Financial Services Executive Wisconsin var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand [...]

“Intense, fast paced, most hands-on and very practical. Instructors prepared us for the brutal reality of real world criminal violence and how to deal with it mentally and physically. As someone who has a significant physical weakness due to injury and surgery I was still able to do TFT and will be able to use [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

“I’ve ordered video’s from names like (withheld) and respect them and their ideas. But you have given me a logical system that I can train and do despite an artificial hip and other chronic injuries as a result of 33 yrs of firefighting.” John Carmody Norfolk, VA var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]

“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 = [...]

“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 [...]

“How deceptively simple there techniques were to learn and utilize. I thought it would be much more of a training process but the way Tim explains this stuff these things are immediately available to use … there’s no years of schooling or training. It’s a very straightforward, hands-on, ready-to-be-used application. If you have any inkling [...]
