3 new Target Focus Training live classes are confirmed!
San Diego, April 26: A short-notice 1-day session at our headquarters training site. People are always amazed at the skill level they walk away with after only a single day. Read about it here.
New Jersey, June 20-22, full 3-day training: First New York area training outside Manhattan. At a hot new facility.
After this class you’ll have more useable knowledge that can save you life in a violent street encounter than someone who’s spent 20 years in the martial arts. And your training will leave you more competent than 99.5% of law enforcement or military personnel.
Remember, we were teaching these courses at US Naval Warfare Command back in the late ’80′s before anyone else even knew what ‘reality’ fighting was about. And it’s not about learning a few simple moves that look cool and MAY work “sometimes.” It’s about quickly learning a complete system… in just hours… one that guarantees your subconscious can call up instantly, without conscious thought, to destroy an attacker REGARDLESS of the situation, whether he’s got a weapon, or he’s bigger and badder than you.
You learn how to not just claw someone’s eyes… but easily blind them if that’s your only available alternative. You learn to not just kick him in the shins… but rather to effortlessly break his knee joint if it’s your only means of escape. And you learn to take his life with your bare hands… if it means saving your own.
There’s nothing else that remotely compares… anywhere.
Dallas, July 18-20, another full 3-day training: Possibly the last 3-day session in the US for 2008. Don’t miss it if you’re looking to get these skills live this year.
Other classes:
- There’s another 1-day session in the works. Possibly Brooklyn. Stay tuned this week.
- And a brand new, 2-day advanced class for those that have been through a previous live session.
- And finally, an unusual situation will have us teaching for the first time a full, 3-day class in Sydney, Australia and London, England. In the past these classes have always been just 2-day affairs. Watch for an announcement on these in the next week.

I’ll keep this short…
Both the Washington, D.C. & New York City 1-day classes are a go!
If that was holding you back, scratch it from your list and see how much we cram into the new 1-day class format. Get registered before all spots are scarfed up (D.C. is red-hot and filling faster than expected).
Since email delivery is spotty, at best, we’re gonna push all emails up here as well going forward. Be sure to check back regularly to see if you’ve missed anything.
I’ll have some of my Master Instructors posting here, too. We’ll throw an array of ideas at you that you’ve probably not seen or thought much about before… if ever.
So, bookmark the blog while you’re here!
That’s it for now,

New classes, new locations, and a new format I’m testing for the first time.
Now there’s no excuse for not learning how to disassemble some dim-witted thug assaulting you by quickly mastering the skills needed at a live TFT self defense training session this year.
Here’s why.
I just rearranged my schedule to combine all 2007 training outside North America into one massive, multi-stop, 30-day ’round-the-world’ swing from mid-November to mid-December.
I’ll have details in the next week or so but for now it looks like stops in at least Hawaii, Australia (Sydney November 24-25), New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Italy and England (London Dec 8-9).
I’ll update http://targetfocustraining.com/live_events.html with dates as finalized.
Given that, here’s how North American training shakes out for the rest of 2007:
1-days come to the Northeast — Finally
Normally I give at least 3 months notice for live training classes; often more. But two speaking engagements popped open options to add 1-day classes back east. So even though lead time is short, here’s what we set up:
If you haven’t heard about how much we cover in one of these, check it out or register by going to: http://targetfocustraining.com/selfdefenseclass/1day.html
Because of the short notice, both these have minimum enrollment requirements. So if an eastern seaboard 1-day is your thing, lock it in by registering today. We’ll make the go/no-go decision on both classes Friday, July 27 or earlier.
If either class bites the dust, you’ll get an immediate refund that day or the opportunity to switch to the other session (or a different one if you like).
Brand New: The “I-Really-Want-To-Attend-But…” Class
If you’ve got a burning desire to learn all the TFT material quickly by attending a live training but haven’t because, frankly, you were a bit intimidated… you’re NOT alone.
Vonnie hears that a lot.
In fact, her comments spurred me to offer something I’ve never tried before… a class designed just for you EVEN IF you’re out of shape, have physical limitations that restrict your movement, worry you’ll be the only one without prior experience (or maybe just think you’ll be expected to work with a bunch of ex-biker bar bouncers).
Whatever, if you’ve had a concern about attending one of these sessions, for any reason, this one is for you.
Understand it’s a regular Fri-Sun class and will NOT be dumbed-down in any way whatsoever! We’ll cover everything as usual, it’s just that we’ll proceed a tad bit slower… and offer more assistance where needed. I said anyone can learn TFT. Now we’re gonna prove it.
There’s only one of these, and it’s coming up soon (San Diego September 28-30). Head on over and check out the details at: http://targetfocustraining.com/selfdefenseclass/special.html
We’re expecting this one could fill very fast but since we’ve never tried it, there’s no telling. So, same thing as with the 1-day’s above: we’ll pull the plug if there isn’t the interest we expect. We’ll make that call July 31 (and probably earlier).
Toronto & Dallas — you’re in too
The 1-day format lets so many more experience what it’s like to walk out the door at the end of class knowing you can make some unsuspecting thug wish he’d never seen you, we’ve added 2 more in spots where we’ve not held them before:
Toronto is the first TFT class ever in Canada.
As before, read about the 1-day classes or register by going to: http://targetfocustraining.com/selfdefenseclass/1day.html
A NEW 2 1/2 day in Miami, FL!
Finally, if you live in the southeast US and asked about a class in your neck of the woods — it’s here. November 2-4 in Miami.
Other than the special class in San Diego in late September, this is the only regular full-length session we’ll host for the rest of 2007.
Register for this first-ever Miami class here: http://targetfocustraining.com/live_events.html
If you have questions about any of these, don’t wait to contact Vonnie, as several are very time sensitive. Email her at: mailto:[email protected] (preferred) or call her at 360-582-9578 (US Pacific time).
Until next time,
