Testimonials

“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 [...]
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!” [...]
“Faster pace was good [as was] working on concrete. Really appreciated detail and high interest level of instructors to make students better. Minimizes the frills. Most direct system ever experienced.” Dan Nattress Cardiff, CA
“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 [...]
“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 lock [...]
“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 [...]
“Finally I have learned something that applies to real life situations! The TFT camp exceeded my expectations from the material taught and it’s application in real life to the superior teaching method applied.” Steven LaMania Bradenton, FL
“This greatly increased my self-confidence in a threatening situation. I have always wanted to take a course in martial arts but realized that it would take years before I would be at a point that it would be beneficial. In two days, I feel like I was able to attain a level of training to [...]
“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” [...]
“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 [...]
“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 [...]
“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 [...]
“A real-eye opener” “I have found the Joint Breaking DVD series to be a real-eye opener. Not being a highly trained martial artist I have had only limited exposure to this area and that exposure principally through books. I have found this medium to be, for me at least, totally inadequate as I found visualizing the [...]
“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 [...]
“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/Jujitsu…This I did not expect, although I must attest, I am most pleased that things are becoming clearer than I [...]
An uncompromising course on the intelligent and responsible use of violence! “For me, a veteran of the martial arts and a medical professional Target Focus™ Training was just as spectacular. I heard explanations that would befit a trauma specialist and learned principles that most martial arts masters save for their advanced [...]
“I liked the immediate application of techniques and lectures explaining the science behind CNS [central nervous system] reactions and the anatomy and physiology examples. Allowed me to comprehend everything much better. This training allows you to immediately understand and perform lethal fighting skills that will save your life.”
“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
“This book will quickly strip away your ingrained, false perceptions about hand-to-hand combat and give you confidence that, with an understanding of what is really needed for victory, you could actually defend yourself against any attacker, regardless of differentials in size, aggressiveness, or skill level.” Scott Nelson, Houston, TX
“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 [...]
“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 I [...]
“I have 15 years of training, Tae Kwon Do to Aikido, a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. I never stuck with one for more than 2 years like lots of folks. Each got redundant. I felt I walked out of the dojo without anything I could practically use on the street. So I hopped from one [...]
“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
It is very safe, with emphasis on control… “My first experience [with TFT] was life changing. In fact a lot of the principles are diametrically opposed to what they teach you in other martial arts…It is very safe, with emphasis on control. I’ve taken 3 or 4 different versions of martial arts and combat training [...]
“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
“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 [...]
“Sets a new standard for instructional videos” “Thanks to TFT’s Striking series, I finally understand striking for the first time since beginning martial arts training in 1968. The clarity of the explanations and demonstrations sets a new standard for instructional videos. I not only learn something new each time I watch the Striking videos, but I’m [...]
“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
“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 [...]
“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 block [...]
“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 [...]
“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 [...]
“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!”
Erase the lack of confidence in my abilities, regardless of age… “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 [...]
“Allowed me to increase my striking power by at least 50%!” “The Striking Series has opened up a whole new level of striking power for me and my training partners. I’ve been in martial arts/self defence for 20 years and thought I had a good handle on using body mechanics to generate hitting power. However, the [...]
“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 such [...]
“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
“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 [...]
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 [...]
“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 [...]
