BBC Interviews Tim Larkin About Extreme Self Defense

September 5, 2009 by Tim Larkin

Well the debate in the UK about whether or not citizens of Great Britain should be able to protect themselves with effective self defense training rages on.

Here’s the latest installment.

It’s an interview I did with BBC One about my upcoming seminar in Slough.

The Slough councilman in the piece does his best to label me as an extreme response to what he considers acceptable self defense training (read: ineffective, feel good techniques).

He also makes my point for me that traditional martial arts and self defence training take far too long to become even marginally effective in a kill-or-be-killed criminal assault.

I am never surprised when well meaning people miss the boat when it comes to dealing with asocial predators but this councilman even caused me to pause with his position.

After you watch this please share your thoughts.

And remember: as you go through a live training experience with me I assure you there is nothing gratuitous or extreme about TFT when you consider the threat you are preparing for via the training.

Bye for now,

New Live Self Defense Training Dates

July 27, 2007 by Tim Larkin

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,
