2011 Class Schedule (important changes)

2010 saw more people go through a TFT live training class than during any year in our history.

People are still amazed they can leave a single, 2-day weekend training with the tools required to totally disable an attacker permanently encoded into your subconscious.

They shouldn’t be… and here’s why…

To create these classes, we began with a challenge:

We have two, 8-hour days — just a weekend — to train one of our own family members. Come Monday morning… it all hits the fan. Their worst nightmare. 2 days is all we get to make sure they’re ready to handle… by themselves, with no tools… whatever gets thrown at them… including weapons & multiple attackers.

Using this challenge forced us to effectively distill 25 years of training this material down to just core essentials that anyone could not only learn in 2 days… but access instantly without conscious thought.

What that means is you’re about to discover… in just a short weekend class… EXACTLY the same thing we would teach any of our OWN family members!

Of course some things got left out (like the movements we’ll show in our advanced class). As key elements for efficiency, each requires additional coordination (which means more practice time) to get them right.

But NOTHING we removed is necessary to survive.

In advanced training, we can teach you to become more efficient… but you won’t become more effective than you are after just those 2 days.

We’d bet the lives of any of our own family members on this training… just as you can bet your own life on it, too.

Here are more of the big take-aways from attending one of these 2-day live sessions…

1. Learn principles that eliminate a lifetime of training. Each class is built around 2 solid days of learning & applying base principles that work against all predators. Because violence is truly random, spending weeks, months, even years, practicing techniques to counter every possible horrific situation is an exercise in futility. Memorizing 100’s of these moves simply forces your brain to pause as it sifts through this quagmire at the very moment it should instead be reacting… instantaneously and instinctively.
2. It works regardless of your background. By uniquely focusing on targeting & injury, TFT tilts the playing field of personal violence completely in your favor, regardless of your size, age, strength, athletic ability or prior experience. It’s what lets us effectively train even people with disabilities… from wheelchairs & artificial limbs to complete blindness. In just 2 days everyone realizes just how easy it is to disable some thug intent on harming you or a loved one. And because of this…
3. Fear evaporates, becoming a non-issue. Because of TFT’s focus on striking targets which you can easily injure (there’s no memorization here — you’ve already spent your lifetime learning them), fear that’s naturally hard-wired into our brains is simply bypassed, allowing you to act IN SPITE OF this obstacle. Almost everyone who’s been forced to use the TFT system to survive mentions this.
4. You’re ready for a worst-case scenario… immediately. You’re able to seriously disable an attacker the moment you leave class… even if he’s got a weapon. Many people erroneously believe they can automatically step up and do this in a real life-or-death struggle. But the truth is, in the midst of a violent, chaotic situation none of us can do it (because of our moral upbringing) unless you’ve prepared in advance. On-the-job training doesn’t work here. It’s one reason TFT gets featured in countless international publications including Forbes, the Times & Financial Times of London, the South China Post, BlackBelt, Blitz, Irish Fighter, plus others, and seen or heard on British ITV, ABC & CBS network television, BBC Radio and more.
5. There’s no bootcamp mentality. Even though you’re learning to seriously (even lethally) injure an attacker, the scientifically tested and proven TFT training methodology assures your safety. You’re never treated with disrespect or talked down to. The one and only goal of each instructor is to make sure you are “better than they were” at this same point in their training. (That might seem odd but with increasingly more effective teaching processes, clients today learn to apply this material more than 400% faster than just 3 years ago).
6. You learn from instructors with 12 to 21 years of experience. When learning lethal techniques for stopping a criminal dead in his tracks you want someone who’s “been there and done that.” Every TFT lead instructor has spent between 12 and 21 years teaching this material in a multitude of different settings across the globe. Each put in an average of 2.5 years just earning their Instructor Certification. Compare this to teachers in even some highly regarded self defense disciplines who are often handed a teaching certificate after only a few days (or even just a long weekend) of training.
7. It’s the world’s only guaranteed training. For more than 8 years we’ve offered a “right-to-the-last-minute-of-class” guarantee, something no one has ever dared match. They can’t afford to. And neither could we… if this training didn’t work for everyone regardless of your background.
8. You leave with a critical “life” skill firmly locked into place. It’s one we hope you’ll never activate… but one that’s there nevertheless, instantly on-call, should you ever need it. Comments from attendees almost always contain the phrase, “It was transformational. I only wish I’d learned it years ago.”

2011 changes.

The ever-increasing demand for additional classes combined with our ongoing commitment to providing the highest quality of training means we will be increasing the price for 2011 classes.

While we make no bones about the one-time cost of this training being more than any other program, it actually is the most cost effective training of its kind.

Remove the weeks, months… even years… of training others put you through (some never getting you to the point Target-Focus Training swiftly guides you to at the end of just day 1), and you begin to understand what an incredible bargain this training really is.

Here are the details… and what’s NEW.

In 2011, each class remains 2 days long. Right now, that’s the minimum it takes for this material to permanently implant itself in your subconscious during the training process (this is 95% on-the-mats training not classroom lecture).

However, beginning next year, we will begin customizing each class to more closely match your personal situation. While this means a considerable amount of additional preparation time for the instructor staff it even better assures you leave the training with an optimal skill set for your situation.

We’ll be sending you information about this new customization once your registration is complete.

Also, many people have asked about video of themselves training.

While this is very difficult to do in a tightly-focused live training such as this, beginning in 2011, we’ll be providing you with short video footage of you actually training during the ‘Free Practice’ sessions. You’ll be able to refer back to things you did in class as well as compare them to examples shown by TFT instructors in our published DVD programs.

It’s a great learning tool (and a way for you to show others who don’t understand just what it was you did for 2 days in class).

2011 pricing.

Base investment for 2011 class registration is set as follows:

Option 1: 24 monthly payments of $125/month (total $3000).

Option 2: 12 monthly payments of $225/month (total $2700). You save $300.00.

Option 3: A single payment of just $1997. This option saves you more than $1,000.00.

Guests, colleagues, family members and friends may attend for 1/2 the regular class price (they will receive the same benefits, customization and materials as you).

2011 dates and locations.

Here is the 2011 calendar:

February 26-27, Boston.

March 5-6, Las Vegas.

March 12-13, New York City (NEW).

March 26-27, San Diego.

April 5-7, Special Military/Law Enforcement.

April 16-17, Dallas (advanced class).

May 7-8, Las Vegas.

May 21-22, San Diego (advanced class).

June 11-12, New York City.

Likely July, Sydney. Dates still being negotiated.

August 13-14, Boston (advanced class).

September 10-11, Las Vegas.

September 20-22, Special Military/Law Enforcement.

September 24-25, San Diego.

October 8-9, New York City.

October 15-16, London class #1.

October 19-20, London class #2 (mid-week).

October 15-16, Dallas.

November 5-6, Las Vegas.

Some key notes about these dates:

1. San Diego will transition to a regular weekly training facility and not be available for as many monthly classes as in 2010. We’ve added additional classes in Las Vegas to offset this (and may add more as the year progresses).
2. We’ve not offered classes in the New York City area for 2 years. We’re rectifying that with 2 new classes in 2011. These will be in Manhattan.
3. Several advanced classes have been added for 2011. These will be offered at the same rates as regular classes. Each will expose you to additional instructors while taking your training to another level. Please note: these classes are NOT just for those with the best skills at the end of their first class. Anyone who has graduated from a 2-day (or an older 2 1/2-day) class is eligible. As with new 2011 regular classes, these advanced classes will be customized to the requirements of each individual class.
4. Other locations are still an option. LA and Chicago are candidates. As usual, the hitch is obtaining the right facility with the right floor surface. We’re always open for suggestions (we look for a minimum of 2500 square feet of Judo-type mats).
5. Except for the Dallas class in October (when I will be teaching the London class simultaneously) I am planning to attend and lead each of these sessions.

A 1-time, special offer…
2011 classes at 25% off.

Many people (and possibly you) have told us they plan to attend a 2011 live training session.

Because of this I’m giving everyone on our list today, a special 1-time opportunity to reach back and… LOCK IN TODAY’S PRICES AT 25% OFF.

Here’s the deal: until January 10, 2011, you may purchase as many 2011 class registrations as you wish for 25% off the 2011 price.

This means that until midnight (US Eastern time) next Monday, you may secure any class registration — space permitting — at the following prices:

Option 1: 24 monthly payments of $83.30/month (total $1999.20).

Option 2: 12 monthly payments of $154.10/month (total $1849.20). You save $150.00.

Option 3: A single payment of just $1497.75. This option saves you a full $501.45.

Guests, colleagues, family members and friends may attend for 1/2 the above prices.

Register now… choose your location later.

To take advantage of this 1-time-only, 25% off opportunity, just select your desired class location (or locations), and then enter coupon code TRAIN2011 on your online training registration form.

When you do this, you’ll immediately see a credit appear that’s equal to 25% off your registration price.

When you register, you’ll notice you don’t need to select a location today. If you wish, just select the ‘No Location’ option, then choose your actual city/date at a later time.

Since you’re planning to attend this year anyway (just not sure of the date), you may want to grab these 1-time, special prices now, then make your class selection later.

Once again, this 25% off coupon code is set to automatically expire at midnight January 10, US Eastern time.

In the past some people have missed special offers like this, thinking they ended at midnight US Pacific time (where we’re located). But our shoppingcart system operates on Eastern time (and only allows us to set the expiration at midnight), so we must work within these boundaries. Just be sure to make a note of this.

Here’s your link to all 2011 classes.

Remember, all links below show 2011 prices. You must enter the TRAIN2011 special coupon code to receive the 1-time, 25% off price reduction: http://targetfocustraining.com/training/live-training

Why you need to register now.

Here’s something else: this 25% off offer includes a ‘Participant+Guest’ option as in past years, but these are limited in all cities (see more info at the link below).

So waiting could end up leaving you locked out of a class location you really want to attend. That’s why you need to TAKE ACTION NOW.

And remember, if you register for a location to lock in these 25% off rates now, then decide you’d rather attend a different class… there’s no charge to make that switch.

So you’re best off grabbing a spot now even if you later decide to attend a different session.

You’ll walk away with
these same results, as well…

“…as for me personally, I was very impressed with not just what we were taught or the abilities I walked away with, but really how we were taught.

“Myself and most of the people attending with me also have our Concealed Carry Weapons permit and train regularly to use our weapons skillfully with lethal force if ever forced to do so. ‘Forced to do so’ being the operative words.

“I feel that is exactly how you conducted our training in San Diego. Just like my Sig Sauer pistol, because of how Chris taught our course, my TFT training is something the bad guy forces me to use. I will have had no other choice. I am the problem and I am the solution.

“To that point, since getting my CCW a few years ago, I have never been unarmed except when traveling in states that do not recognize my CCW permit.

“I have often commented to friends and family that when I have been in California or Vegas that I felt "naked" without my weapon and "unarmed"… vulnerable.

“Since attending TFT I understand I am ‘the weapon’ and I am NEVER unarmed. For that, I cannot thank you and the instructors that worked with us in San Diego enough.”

One last note.

“It’ll never happen to me!”

This is what many of the people who attend our classes said to themselves… until it did.

By then… it was too late.

Remember… violence is an Equal Opportunity Experience.

It doesn’t judge. It isn’t biased. And no one is immune to its effects.

And yet, you can take steps TODAY to make sure that if it DOES happen to you – you’ll be ready. Let the world’s most effective self defense training begin replacing fear and uncertainty with confidence and action.
