“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

“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 [...]

“Very well constructed” “It’s marvelous, because it reduces the whole thing to basic principles: three rotation axes, and two directions of rotation about each one – six base leverages; what does it take to bring any one of those leverages to the pathological limit, and beyond? That’s IT. Nothing more needs to be added. From [...]

“Way beyond 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 [...]

“…these were the most effective days of training in hand-to-hand and hand-to-weapon that I, or everyone else, had ever experienced.” Brian (Agent attending the live training) US Border Patrol

“I’ve always been interested in martial arts but this totally changed my thinking. It started with emails. I signed up for [Tim Larkin’s] email newsletter and from an email I actually changed a situation that actually happened to me outside in the street! And after that situation I said if I learned that much from [...]

“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

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“The timing of the course could not have been more perfect. I am a frequent traveler. Taking a trip is not what it used to be. Before September 11,2001 I did not think about actually flying. Now, when I board a plane my mind thinks of possible ill-fated scenarios that can occur while flying. What [...]

“The course has instilled a quiet confidence in me. This confidence stems from Tim’s lessons, which have showed me that my brain is my most dangerous weapon, and this weapon is now armed with the knowledge of how best to deal with a wide range of violent scenarios. From knife attacks to crowd control situations [...]

“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 [...]

“You receive an education in the true dynamic of fighting and the full implications of violence, positive and negative.” Jason Woodard Reno, NV

“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 [...]

“I was looking for a self defense DVD for my daughter who had been approached by a sexual predator a while back. I talked to you over the phone and told you my daughter’s situation and you suggested the Throwing Series. I took a chance and ordered it. As I started watching I knew right [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 black belts. Without cloaking techniques in mysticism, without diluting the realities of combat in a [...]

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 [...]

“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

“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. [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“I recently purchased the 17 DVD set and I am truly amazed at the research you have done and the way you have distilled the essence into an easy to understand and apply method. Regard’s,” W. W. Gorski Montana

“I want to thank you for telling the truth re self-defense and violence. I am a Brazilian Juijitsu fighter and at the age of 52 I know what works and what just looks good. .There are so many “belt mills” in America fooling countless young men and women into thinking they are prepared for street [...]

“An outstanding product” “What makes TFT’s Lethal Leverage Series an outstanding product is the thorough research of the principles involved in the destruction of any joint in the human body, along with the clear and very understandable explanation that is presented in the DVD’s. I must say that in my forty plus years in the [...]

The single best investment I have made toward authentic self-protection… “I have not even finished viewing the second DVD…and yet feel compelled to write. This is – far and away – the single best investment I have made toward authentic self-protection (I train under Vladimir Vasiliev, so that is no small compliment). Your lucid, candid [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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. You will know how to fight after you complete this [...]

“It was really a game changer for me. There have been several times in my life when I felt I truly became enlightened about something and it forever changed my outlook – this book is one of them. I trained in college for Tae Kwon Do and became very effective at hitting targets. Now, I realize [...]

“…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 [...]

“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 [...]
