Target Focus Training - » “If you have any concerns for your safety, this is the way to go.”

“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. [...]

“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.”

“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 [...]

You said that in the days after the TFT course it would be natural to find ourselves thinking about what we have learned. You were right. I have written a few thoughts after taking my first TFT course on June 7, 8, 9. I hope you enjoy them. “I have found my TFT training to be [...]

“One concept has more than doubled my business success!” “After taking your courses, not only do I now have the freedom to know exactly what to do in a life or death situation, but one simple concept I learned there has increased my business success more than double! I’m extremely fortunate that someone recommended TFT [...]

Nothing was kept secret… “Surpassed any expectations that I could have imagined! At last someone tells the truth! Everything was broken down to the simplest of terms and nothing was kept secret from anyone. Well Done!” William Allen Mapleton, ME var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, [...]

“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 var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, [...]

“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_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]

“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 [...]

“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. I worked with women in the class, and please believe me when I say that what they did to me during free fighting made me a believer that you [...]

“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. [...]

“A lot of systems are only designed for young men in the peak of physical condition and older people and people with lesser body strength could not do them. But TFT whether you’re young, old, have an infirmity — most everything in TFT can be done by anyone. “For people in the law enforcement profession, the [...]

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

Way above what I expected! It’s obvious that a lot of thought went into the course. The instructors KNOW their information and present it in a way that shows that without being condescending. Your verbal and visual teaching method really worked well for me. Well Done! Ooh-rah! from an old Marine.” “The training restored my [...]

“Unmatched in the industry!” “The techniques you teach in the new Striking Series are easy to follow but would be completely ineffective if you hadn’t taken the time to explain the principles behind using your weight in every strike instead of your strength. I find your method of fighting… let me rephrase that… your method of [...]

“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 var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, live, [...]

“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 var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, [...]

“I never expected that I’d really want to go home and show my son (who’s only 4) and my nieces and nephews these techniques, but now (I realize) that even though they are very young, they can do very simple things to keep themselves out of trouble.” Tim Austin, Financial Services Executive Wisconsin var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

Immediately available to use…there’s no years of schooling or training… “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. [...]

“This weekend course gave me a clear understanding of the principles involved in neutralizing an opponent. Unlike all the forms of self-defense and martial arts I’ve been exposed to, this program really identified the purpose of various moves and strikes. The concept of an opponent, regardless of size or weapons he might have, as a [...]

“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_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var addthis_options = ‘email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, twitter, [...]

“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 that is given to the experts, is given to the ordinary person, [...]

“So simple… why didn’t I think of this?” “Being dan ranked in several styles of martial arts and having been in many altercations while living overseas, I was skeptical about your system. I have to admit that I decided to purchase the series after seeing Matt Furey endorse it. “What do I have to say about the [...]

“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 [...]

“I have nearly 20 years law enforcementexperience and this training is clean cut no BS straight to the point. All those years and not until now that I have a tool I can use and develop. This is the best training I have had. Exceeded my expectations. A Life changing experience!”

“I was amazed at the systemic clarity of your system” “Before entering the teaching profession I spent many years in the personal protection field both here and abroad. I have trained extensively in many of the combat oriented arts and have field tested virtually all of the arts I have studied in the course of that [...]

“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 var addthis_pub = ‘tftgroup’; var addthis_brand = ‘TFT’;var addthis_language = ‘en’;var [...]

“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 [...]

“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 level [...]

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 [...]

“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 be [...]

“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 Joint Breaking and have studied them carefully, also in slow motion. “Other DVD programs attempt to include joint breaking in their “self defense systems,” and they try to [...]

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 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 others [...]

“I loved it! Tim you have made the art of war a simple and very straightforward task. You answered all of my questions thoroughly in a very easy to understand way. You demonstrated every move no matter how many times it took and explained until I understood. My training at home will never be the [...]

“As an academic, I am particularly impressed with your process of explanation” “Watching the joint breaking package I purchased has left me very impressed with both the system of “applied violence” as well as the indisputably qualified staff involved with TFT. The information provided and style of presentation is extremely effective in illustrating that you people [...]
