“Instead it has everything to do with a sense of confidence…”

“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 [...]

“As far as police defensive tactics training — it’s light years ahead. PDTT is still in the ’50’s.and because of that guys aren’t getting the real deal. They’re getting stuff that’s gonna get them hurt in the street. Even a lot of the people who are teaching commercially to police are just taking a chance [...]

“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 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 [...]

“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 [...]

Most simple and straight forward information you can get to save your life… “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 [...]

“All I can say is that Tim Larkin has made me look at certain situations in a totally different way. He has changed my way of thinking in a crisis situation. He has given me the knowledge to be prepared and to look for “targets” on a would-be attacker. He has taught me about primary, [...]

“The biggest benefit is the confidence gained through the use of the proper mindset and the realization of how easy it is to defeat the majority of attacks you may face through some of the simplest of actions. It was made very clear about how easy the body can be destroyed if need be but [...]

“When I first learned about Tim Larkin and that he would be coming to New York to do a training session, I was very intrigued. While I did think that his hand to hand combat training might be useful to me, I was probably more fascinated with the prospect of seeing what this “trained killer” [...]

“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 [...]

“Get this Striking Series first…” “I have 10 years Shotokan Karate, 2 years Aikido and 4 years JuJitsu. Each is geared to reacting to attack from within the system. I never felt comfortable when considering a real life situation. If that sounds confusing then maybe this will explain better; in karate you are taught to [...]

“Other programs left me with questions. You left none!” “I run a martial arts school in Washington state. My business partner and I have always questioned some of what we were taught regarding practicality. When we came across your program it was like someone flipped the switch. We followed the programs to the letter looking [...]

Life changing experience… “I have nearly 20 years law enforcement experience 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. A Life changing experience!” Mitch Jackson Customs [...]

“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 [...]

“Better than any I have ever seen” “I have done some form of martial arts for over 20 years and have been exposed to a lot of instructional tapes on various aspects of joint work. I do have to say your DVD is the most concise and explains the principles and applications better than any [...]

“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 [...]

“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, [...]

“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 [...]

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

“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 [...]

“Learned more in 2 days than 15 years of MA training” “I’ve learned more that would be practical in the street in the last 2 days than all 15 years put together! As a matter of fact, I think I’ll have to undo some of my martial arts training and focus on what we’ve learned [...]

“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. [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 recently purchased the 17 DVD’s package and I can safely say I was never so pleased with my purchase. Years ago I studied Tae-kwon-do and thought I knew a little bit about defending myself. I was deeply mistaken. After watching your DVD’s I now have the confidence I have been missing. Your teaching method [...]

“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 [...]

“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 highly recommend Tim Larkin’s course to military and law enforcement personnel and civilians alike. Very realistic and to the point training. One of the things that surprised me was how Tim succeeded to get people with no martial arts background to get their strikes’ timing and range right within hours. As you know, in most martial [...]

“By far one of the most devastating 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. Tim’s ‘Target Focus Training’ is by far one of the most devastating self protection systems I’ve trained in throughout nearly [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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, [...]

“I’m much better prepared to protect my life” I thought the joint-breaking series was excellent. I’m two discs into finishing it for the second time. Joint breaking is a gruesome subject and I wasn’t sure that I’d be able to stomach it at first but after watching these two guys pour over the material with [...]

No one else is doing this kind of useful training… “Excellent. No one else is doing this kind of useful training. It’s a base knowledge that you can use for the rest of your life. The new format of not working from a strike teaches you not to wait and to get close and inside. [...]

“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

“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 ability to punch [...]

“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.”

“…Doing things that will impact my life forever.” “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 [...]
