New Basic Class Interview - Target Focus Training

“Thanks for providing the science to survive the violence!” “When I heard about the Striking series I was at first skeptical thinking ‘how can you make a whole series on just basically punching someone as hard as you can?’ After seeing the whole concept and science of striking broken down to it’s single most critical elements, [...]

“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 [...]

“Other programs left me with questions. You left none!” “I run a martial arts school in Washington state.

We followed the programs to the letter looking for [...]

“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 [...]

“By far one of the most devastating fighting systems I’ve trained in.” “As President of the International Society of Close Quarter Combatants, I’ve seen and tested perhaps hundreds of various martial arts and self defense programs.

The ONE I could not stop watching… “I have every DVD series but this was the ONE I could not stop watching. So inspiring that I want to sign up for the mastery class.

“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 comprehend everything much better. This training allows you to immediately understand and perform lethal fighting skills that will save your life.”

“I’ve always been interested in martial arts but this totally changed my thinking. It started with emails.

“This Series showed us things we never even thought about before” “Almost every fight I’ve been in wound up looking like a sloppy boxing match. Growing up when you saw the local tough guys fighting on the corner they were pretty much bare knuckle boxing, until someone went down and it ended in a boot party. [...]

“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 [...]

“I am 55 years old and have spent most of my life trying to become better at defending myself and family. I went thru the macho stage where bar fights were the measure of the man; then to martial arts training but never getting good enough to be instinctive with it. When I found TFT [...]

“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, [...]

“This weekend course gave me a clear understanding of the principles involved in neutralizing an opponent.

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, [...]
