More Of Your Self Defense Questions

Thanks to every one of you who stepped up and made the
effort to attend my last TFT training seminar. This
newsletter was designed to reach those people who I'd
probably never be able to instruct. Yet some of you
decide to ignore that fact.

I'm constantly amazed by the persistence some
individuals demonstrate when they decide to seek out
my services. It was a pleasure to train you.

As for the rest of you I have another set of questions
my staff has assembled for me to answer generated by
this e-zine of mine, so here it goes:

David from Auckland, NZ writes: I've read all your
issues to date and want to know when you're actually
going to give some instruction? Your subjects are
great but you don't specifically instruct on how to
use your methods? Is this leading up to a sale?
Videos? Training? If so get on with it:

*** Well David speaks for that small percentage of you
out there that think there is no free lunch. So hear
you go:

Do I sell videos?
Yes.

Do I conduct live training?
Yes.

Would I like you to buy from me?
Absolutely, I like making money.

Is this newsletter designed to instruct you in hand-
to-hand combat?
NO!

It's designed to make you THINK... to get you to ask
questions and demand from any instructor that you
receive the absolute best from him if you choose to
invest your valuable time and train.

I'd love to train each and every one of you but it's
not possible. So the next best option for me is to
pass on some principles and methods you need to be
familiar with in order to get what you need from such
training.

Dakota from Encino writes: How can you get such
incredible results in such a short amount of time when
most people need years of training to become
proficient?

*** That can be answered by this analogy. Learning to
ride and train a horse for competition takes years and
you need an instructor to teach you the method. If you
stick with it you can get very good at riding a horse.
That is how most martial arts approach self-protection
training.

Whereas if your main goal is transportation --
learning to drive a car is far more efficient. TFT is
like learning to drive a car.

It takes much less time to learn and will beat even
the most accomplished racehorse. Most people don't
have to be able to build a car in order to drive and
operate it.

My instructors are all master mechanics that can
design and build the car for you. They've put in the
years so you can get the critical principles in mere
hours.

Will in Detroit writes: I saw you said in an interview
that working out on a heavy bag is counter-productive.
Why?

*** Going back to the first issue you find that I
stated you do what you train. Bags have very limited
use in TFT training. Any training aid I use needs to
replicate the human body.

The cylindrical shapes of heavy bags are not shaped
like humans therefore you code incorrect information
in your brain regarding targeting.

Also most people kick or punch a bag repeatedly
standing in the same place whereas if you inflicted
that type of trauma on a human the human would react
and move and you'd have to dynamically move with the
other guy to strike them again effectively. A bag does
not provide for dynamic movement. Those are just 2
reasons but you get the idea.

Kevin from NYC writes -- I live in a really bad
neighborhood and am constantly getting attacked. I was
wondering if you could give me a few tips on how to
beat these guys up?

*** This is a question I get a lot from people and I
have to go back to the reason I write this newsletter:
to discuss the principles that make up a great combat
fighting system. It would be irresponsible of me to
try and give you some tips on how to beat someone up.

I do sell videos and give live training seminars. That
is a far better format for you to get specific
information on how to learn my system. I'll leave it
to other less responsible 'instructors' to dole out a
couple of 'tips' and send you back to the street.

Again, great questions everyone -- see you next issue
and keep them coming.

Until next time,
