Does your self-defense training look like the news?

“You don’t need all the years of effort.” “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 [...]

“The new target chart is simply terrific, well done, and absofreekin beautiful. I’m running out tonight to have it matted and framed, to hang in the house, so the entire family will gain from the knowledge it contains. Just another well produced TFT product, as is everything you have put out at this point. I patiently [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“Easily worth 5 times what I paid!” “I think of all the years of practice that could have gone to other things — and I’d still have been a better fighter. It was easily worth 5 times what I paid.” George Davis International Financial Consultant Laguna Beach, CA

“When I first started here I was pretty skeptical that I could learn techniques that, it seemed to me were pretty advanced self-protection, in such a short time. Actually, the way (Tim) teaches is so easy to learn that you feel very empowered, very quickly … It’s an excellent place to quickly learn non-threatening techniques [...]

“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 [...]

“…the approach & philosophy of his training will be with me forever.” “I can say without hesitation that after two days with Tim I know that if I were placed in a situation where I would have to protect myself, my friends or my family that I would be prepared. The few black and blue [...]

“Through the techniques Tim showed us I realized how easy it was to overcome an individual no matter what their size was. Also how effective it was compared to other training I have had in the past. I would like to continue with this training and show it to my family and close friends. I [...]

No longer will fear getting into a situation where I can’t get to my weapon… “Being a police officer I thought that my gun was the most lethal weapon. I now know that my brain is the most lethal weapon and I no longer will fear over getting into a situation where I can’t get [...]

“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 [...]

“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’s a must.” “Cuts through a lot of things you would have to go through in a traditional school (martial arts). This is the most time efficient and realistic approach I’ve ever seen. It’s a must.” Bruce Kelly Chicago, IL

“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. [...]

“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

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“As a non-lethal force training officer, I found TFT to be the best…” “With 36 years in Martial Arts and being the training officer on non-lethal force I have found that TFT is the best system for everyone. Most systems need you to in top physical shape to make their system work. TFT will work [...]

“The TFT material has shed light on the grey area of violence. So simple to understand, anyone can pick it up and learn the truth about surviving an undesirable situation. One of the most significant reads I’ve come across. I highly recommend it!” Justin Negrete, Madison, WI

“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

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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

Removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear… “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

“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

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

The absolute best in their field. Everyone else is four steps behind… “Intense, effective, highly recommended. An incredible experience. Larkin and his instructors are the absolute best in their field. Everyone else is four steps behind. What I liked was the intensity, the lack of unnecessary info, jargon and fluff. A complete focus on the [...]

“Target Focus Training is not about an individual. Even though Tim Larkin created it, it truly is a ‘system’ and all the instructors that are part of the team are amazing and in sync. All work off the principles and the systems, and while you see nuances that are exciting in each instructor, there is [...]

“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 [...]

“…exactly as advertised — intense, targeted, focused training designed to produce immediate results.”

“Justified Lethal Force shows we get the same info as the experts!” “This is a beautifully clear presentation of what has to be done to save your life in a desperate situation, given to people who may very well expect to face such situations and need the best training possible. That the very same information [...]

“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 [...]

“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
