And now we’re pleased to announce he’s allowing us to use his training facility with its 2,200 sq ft of top-of-the-line Zebra mats for this session.
As you know I’m very picky about floor surfaces. It’s one of the reasons we haven’t offered trainings in more locations.
Well, the surface at Jimmy’s facility is the same as what we use in our own San Diego center. And it’s going to help maximize your take-away from this class.

Remember: one of the reasons we chose Boston was because a large group reserved a number of the available training spots. That means there’s less room than normal. So you can’t wait on this class.
If you have questions about live training don’t just sit and try to figure it out yourself. Give Vonnie a call at 360-582-9578 (US Pacific time). Or email her at “admin at targetfocustraining dot com”
She can answer most any question you’ve got. And if she can’t she’ll put you through to one of us.
Thanks and great training,

PS. As more people watch the DVDs (especially Throwing) and the new online sessions over at our Target Focus Monthly site, some people are voicing concerns that “…your training seems like it may be too rough for me.”
Couple things. First, remember you’re watching instructors execute these sequences (and often they’re Master instructors, folks who’ve been doing this for more than 10 years and often far longer).
In your first class, you won’t go as fast as these guys nor will you be falling as hard as they do.
Everything is done at half-speed.
In fact, some critics of TFT like to complain it’s too slow, that it’s all choreographed. Unfortunately this is just ignorance on their part (and as you might have guessed, none have ever actually been through one of our sessions).
We do have you go very slow. If you didn’t you’d totally destroy your partner. But in the process of going slow there are some huge things happening.
We actually have you gently ‘strike’ and push through each target on your partner. This slowly locks the movement memory into both you and your partner’s subconscious and nervous systems. It takes repetition to do this. But by the end of class, your body’s able to instantly recall these movements without conscious effort on your part. And that’s the way it’s got to be if you’re to survive a true hostile situation.
But the bottom line is: anyone can do this. Big or small. Weak or strong. Experienced or rookie. Doesn’t matter. And because you only go at the speed you and your partner are comfortable with, no one ever gets hurt (outside the occasional scrape or bruise that happens when you spend a day on the mats).
The other thing is all this is anything but choreographed.
We call it “free-fighting,” and for a good reason.
There is NO preset sequence you ever follow. Everything is random, made up by YOU as targets unfold during your turn.
We don’t teach you specific techniques for specific situations, then have you endlessly practice those, as others do.
Violence doesn’t happen like that. It’s totally random.
And that’s why we teach you how to strike targets using very specific principles that allow you to react instantly to anything that unfolds.
While this may be a bit difficult to imagine here, once you go through your first free-fighting session it becomes instantly clear. And 100% natural.
That’s also why people pick it up so easily and so quickly.
Here’s the thing: teaching this all over the world as we do really limits the number of classes we can offer.
That’s why it’s important you take advantage of these unique sessions and REGISTER NOW while spots are still available.
