Removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear…

“Practical, no nonsense, save-your-life training.” Bryan Kelly Chicago, IL

“Intense, fast paced, most hands-on and very practical. Instructors prepared us for the brutal reality of real world criminal violence and how to deal with it mentally and physically. As someone who has a significant physical weakness due to injury and surgery I was still able to do TFT and will be able to use [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“Target Focus Training is the kind of experience that every woman should have. It’s a very intense weekend; certainly not a walk-in-the-park. But the consequences of being attacked are not a walk-in-the-park either. The unfortunate reality is we do live in a violent world and there’s a possibility of something happening… not something we really [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“Real world self defense.” No flying thru the air, no yelling, no meditating. Just straight to the heart principles that anyone can use.” Martin Lingle San Jose, CA

“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” [...]

“…exactly as advertised — intense, targeted, focused training designed to produce immediate results.”

“This met and exceeded my expectations. The material was well presented and understandable. Having attended a [competitor’s live training] I had familiarity with some concepts presented; however the presentation at TFT was much clearer.”

“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

“One of the biggest benefits I received from the combat training course is the confidence that I now have in dealing with potentially violent encounters. Although we all hope to go through life avoiding such situations, it is almost inevitable that we will find ourselves involved in at least one such predicament. This is all [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

“…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 [...]

“I found Tim’s knowledge especially practical and applicable in ways which I have never imagined previously. His style is efficient; it’s designed to achieve the maximal effect in the least amount of time. The most amazing aspect is how simple and easy it is to learn. Even though I’ve had training in the martial arts, [...]

“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 [...]

“A real-eye opener” “I have found the Lethal Leverage 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 [...]

Removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear… “You guys strip away preconceived notions I had about violence and put solid facts in their place. [TFT] removed my ignorance, which in turn removed a great deal of fear.” Matthew Hall Network Engineer Denton, TX

“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.

“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 [...]

“I figured it’s got to be a lot more difficult than it was. I actually can’t believe how easy learning these offensive moves to protect yourself or your loved ones was. I think it should be taught at a lot younger age so that it becomes second nature to you, and as you’re growing up [...]

“What I came away from this weekend with was the knowledge of how easy it is to reverse the roles of your attacker thinking you’re the victim and turning things around very quickly and very easily and turning your attacker instead into the victim.” Bill Grander, Physician New York City

“The biggest benefit I received from your training is a tremendous increase in self-confidence. I really feel that if I have to, I can defend myself and my family.

“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. [...]

“It is refreshing to finally read a book on the importance of injury in a self protection system. Great reading such a controversial topic taught in such a professional common sense approach.” Robin Chadwick Boca Raton, FL

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 [...]
