“Different than any other training you’ve probably had.”

“TFT simplifies things by: 1) reducing fighting down to Cause- or Effect-state and 2) truly coupling the underlying scientific principles to the physical fighting mechanics. If you are truly interested in acquiring real skills, not just another “certificate of completion” this camp is for you. The instructors are well educated, beyond highly trained, ego-free teachers [...]

“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 [...]

The single best investment I have made toward authentic self-protection… “I have not even finished viewing the second DVD…and yet feel compelled to write. This is – far and away – the single best investment I have made toward authentic self-protection (I train under Vladimir Vasiliev, so that is no small compliment). Your lucid, candid [...]

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 know this is [...]

“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

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 [...]

“What I came away from this weekend with was the knowledge of how easy it is to reverse the roles of your attacker thinking you’re the victim and turning things around very quickly and very easily and turning your attacker instead into the victim.” Bill Grander, Physician New York City

“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

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“What a difference a weekend makes!” “Since I took the class in San Diego, my whole life has changed for the better. I am able to walk away and avoid situations very easy by knowing that we can ALL be hurt or killed in a seemingly minor scrap. In the past my ego always made [...]

“Never before have I come across a book that addresses the use of violence in the open and honest manner this book does. As a former soldier, we were taught the simple fact that when fighting for your life, it’s you or your opponent – anything goes. The authors of this book address this basic [...]

“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 Throwing Series. I took a chance and ordered it. As I started watching I knew right [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“Frankly, I went to Tim Larkin’s training kicking and screaming. I truly had no interest in attending, being part of the practice time, or wasting time learning skills I know I would never use. But through the constant, gentle, persuasion by (a friend), I attended. “When I arrived at the training, I sat in the [...]

“The models are excellent. I’ve done competitive sports where fighting is involved and I always knew they wouldn’t have any application in a real street situation. Tim showed us some really good methods to defuse situations, or turn the situation around where you’re no longer being attached, you’re the attacker. He keeps the instructions simple, [...]

“Presented at an intellectual level beyond any product I have seen!” “As a male approaching 60 with his best fighting years behind him, I was looking for training addressing life-or-death situations which have become all to numerous in the Milwaukee area. Your Striking Series fit my needs to a T. Principles are presented at an intellectual [...]

“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 [...]

“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. [...]

“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 [...]

“Very different from any other Martial Arts or Fighting class I’ve taken.” Greg Weber Arvada, CO

“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 [...]

“My expectations were high. I wasn’t disappointed.” William D Haueter Magna, UT

“Money well spent!” Thomas Nishiyama Honolulu, HI

“Completely worth every penny…” “I think most people look at the price and disregard coming to a session, but they are missing out on so much by just buying a video. It is completely worth every penny.” Jennifer Gray Norman, OK

“I recently purchased your 17 DVD series and after review, I am quite impressed. In addition, I find myself releasing my grip on traditional convention that I’ve previously learned through 11 years of training in Judo/ Jui jitsu…This I did not expect, although I must attest, I am most pleased that things are becoming clearer [...]

“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 [...]

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 especially liked the attention to detail with body positioning and follow through. The material was intense and well constructed. Great [...]

“An “equalizer” regardless of size, weight and gender” “A student for more than a decade in a martial art that includes joint breaking, I was quite impressed with your Lethal Leverage System and have studied them carefully, also in slow motion. “Other DVD programs attempt to include joint breaking in their “self defense systems,” and [...]

“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 [...]

“The biggest benefit I received from your training is a tremendous increase in self-confidence. I really feel that if I have to, I can defend myself and my family. This confidence permeates though all my thoughts, dreams, feelings, and relationships. How can you put a price on that? — You can’t, it’s priceless. “I think [...]

“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

“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

“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 had never been through training presented like this. We jumped immediately into drills. It made me learn very quickly. Improves fighting skills quickly without a lot of filler material. You definitely get what you pay for.” Matt, Federal Law Enforcement Officer Mt. Pleasant, SC
