“Money well spent!” Thomas Nishiyama Honolulu, HI var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“For me, a veteran of the martial arts and a medical professional Target Focus™ Training was just as spectacular. I heard explanations that would befit a trauma specialist and learned principles that most martial arts masters save for their advanced black belts. Without cloaking techniques in mysticism, without diluting the realities of combat in a [...]

“One of the biggest benefits I received from the combat training course is the confidence that I now have in dealing with potentially violent encounters. Although we all hope to go through life avoiding such situations, it is almost inevitable that we will find ourselves involved in at least one such predicament. This is all [...]

“I like martial arts a lot, so I’ve trained 4 or 5 times a week for years. I’ve done a lot of tournament fighting. What I like about TFT that was so different is the shift in mindset. In martial arts it’s all about points. When we do Shotokan, it’s points. When you put a [...]

“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 [...]

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

“My expectation prior to coming here was to learn a little more than what the videotapes had conferred. I thought I had a [pretty good] handle on the principles but found out I didn’t know squat. The class has truly been a life changing experience for both my son and me. Needless to say, it [...]

“It was really a game changer for me. There have been several times in my life when I felt I truly became enlightened about something and it forever changed my outlook – this book is one of them. I trained in college for Tae Kwon Do and became very effective at hitting targets. Now, I realize [...]

“To the point, no non-sense, get-the-job-done stuff.” “I received your joint breaking videos and they are the real deal. I have taken Hapkido for two years and a couple months of Kung Fu San Soo and this is the first time I feel like I can actually teach someone to break a joint or joint lock [...]

“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 [...]

“This greatly increased my self-confidence in a threatening situation. I have always wanted to take a course in martial arts but realized that it would take years before I would be at a point that it would be beneficial. In two days, I feel like I was able to attain a level of training to [...]

“I’ve always been interested in martial arts but this totally changed my thinking. It started with emails. I signed up for [Tim Larkin’s] email newsletter and from an email I actually changed a situation that actually happened to me outside in the street! And after that situation I said if I learned that much from [...]

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 advertising. Well, [...]

“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 [...]

“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_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“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_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, [...]

“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, [...]

“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_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.”

“An outstanding product” “What makes TFT’s Lethal Leverage 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 [...]

“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 [...]

“One of the biggest benefits I received is the fact that my perception or attitude about fighting has changed. I always thought about being in a defensive position and then striking. But now I feel the confidence of striking my attacker first when he starts to come at me if I can’t avoid the situation. [...]

“This will lead to survival!” “First off, I have a strong grappling background, 20 years of Judo. Yet even after years training in a number of “reality” styles, I still was left searching for answers to my questions. By accident I discovered SCARS (the system you helped bring to the military) but felt but found the [...]

“Did in hours what others can’t do in even years.” “I highly recommend Tim Larkin’s course to military personnel and civilians. 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 [...]

“What I like was the simplicity: find a target, hit a target and continue ’til done. You can teach anyone this program. Different than any other training you’ve probably had.” Eric, Federal Law Enforcement Officer Goose Creek, SC var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“I want to thank you for telling the truth re self-defense and violence. I am a Brazilian Juijitsu fighter and at the age of 52 I know what works and what just looks good. .There are so many “belt mills” in America fooling countless young men and women into thinking they are prepared for street [...]

“If you’re smart — buy this package!” “I am long past the point of learning “flashy techniques”. Techniques are, or at least, should be application of principles. Many people advocate, “Practice makes perfect”. Not if what you are practicing is inadequate. “Perfect practice makes perfect”! “Without the principles behind techniques you do not have a stable foundation [...]

“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 [...]

“Unquestionably the most simple and straight forward information you can get to save your life. If you can see through the Hollywood violence of the movies and really wrap your mind around the idea and brutality of ending your killer’s life or at least forever changing the physical characteristics of it, then sign up now. [...]

“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 [...]

“This book will quickly strip away your ingrained, false perceptions about hand-to-hand combat and give you confidence that, with an understanding of what is really needed for victory, you could actually defend yourself against any attacker, regardless of differentials in size, aggressiveness, or skill level.” Scott Nelson, Houston, TX var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]

“TFT has nothing to do with being muscular. Instead it has everything to do with a sense of confidence and understanding that there are various target points on the body, and being able to access them is devastating… ” Brad Kay, Advertising Executive Merkley, Newman, Harty & Partners New York City var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]

“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 [...]

“I’m much better prepared to protect my life” I thought the joint-breaking series was excellent. I’m two discs into finishing it for the second time. Joint breaking is a gruesome subject and I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to stomach it at first but after watching these two guys pour over the material with such [...]

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 travel a lot in my work as a marketing consultant. Some of our multi national clients have offices in countries that aren’t on “the safest places to visit” list. Couple that with having to fly almost every international airline several times a year and my chances of becoming a victim of Anti-American sentiment may [...]

“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_brand [...]

“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 get close and inside. You will know how to fight after you complete this [...]

“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_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, more’;

“But the actual gemstone of this series is Multi-Striking — using your arms and legs, driven by your bodyweight to deliver simulatenous stikes and impact. Learning the multi-striking principles alone, I can really create my own combinations of strikes. Couple this with striking with rhthym and timing, I now know where an injured assailant is [...]
