“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 to multiple assailant combat, Tim’s course really covers it all.
“Perhaps the biggest benefit of all, though, is that this quiet confidence enables me to feel much more comfortable in walking away from potentially inflammatory situations without having to prove my manhood.
“The real proof from my perspective is to consider how much better I would have handled a multiple assailant situation that I was involved in several years ago. In this instance, a street kid verbally assaulted my girlfriend and me. My first mistake was to engage in the dialogue at all. Tim’s teachings encourages you to walk away from all but the most imperative situations. My second mistake was not being aware that the kid had two friends lurking behind me. When they attacked, my boxing and wrestling skills were useless because they were designed to handle a one-on-one situation where rules apply. This was the street, though. There were no rules. I was fortunate. but I never forgot the incident, and how helpless I felt. I feel fortunate to have the experience of Tim’s class to educate me as to how to better handle these types of situations in the future.”
