“Learned more in 2 days than 15 years of MA training”
“I’ve learned more that would be practical in the street in the last 2 days than all 15 years put together! As a matter of fact, I think I’ll have to undo some of my martial arts training and focus on what we’ve learned here this weekend.”

“…the most effective five days of training ever!”
“We’ve seen them all but [TFT] was the most effective days of training in hand-to-hand and hand-to-weapon that I, and everyone else, had ever experienced.”

“Frankly, I went to Tim Larkin’s training kicking and screaming. I truly had no interest in attending, being part of the practice time, or wasting time learning skills I know I would never use. But through the constant, gentle, persuasion by (a friend), I attended.
“When I arrived at the training, I sat in the back of the room with a “try to teach me something, Buster” attitude.
“Within minutes, I was hearing, seeing, and doing things that will impact my life forever. Instead of wasting hours learning foolish poses and practicing deep grunting sounds or higher pitched screams, we spent just minutes learning simple, basic skills that carry awesome power – power to protect yourself and your loved ones in almost any imaginable situation.
“By the end of the training, Tim transformed me from a disgruntled seminar captive to a disciple of his astounding techniques. The most powerful impact though came just two days later – September 11, 2001.
“As the details of the horror of that day unwound, it was revealed that the terrorists held the planes and hundreds of people captive with box cutters and penknives.
“I sat stunned. Just two days earlier Tim taught us how to effectively handle this very situation.
“Today I feel confidence – not arrogance, but confidence – that should I be involved in an unavoidable situation that could cost me or the ones I love our safety or our lives, I, 5’ 8” 148lbs Paul Hartunian could protect myself and others and make the attackers give very serious thought to going into another line of work.
“Tim’s techniques are so simple that an energetic 14 year-old, a sedentary 48 year-old, or an elderly 76 year-old could learn and execute them with ease. If you think you’re protected by your health insurance you’re sadly mistaken. Without Tim’s training your health insurance will only be able to help you pay for the damage inflicted on you by your attacker.”

“I was really excited about coming to the training because my entire life I had been seeking out some type of martial art or combat training but didn’t know where to turn, didn’t know who to turn to. Everything was so segmented, so convoluted, almost overwhelming, and at the age of 32, I wasn’t excited about beginning a martial art and then spending the next 10 years of my life being focused on it and hoping that it would produce the result I was looking for … What I was looking for was not the art but if I was ever put in the worst, violent situation, with my wife or my child, that I would actually know what to do to take care of myself. I wanted a condensed version of a 10-year training period and get it from one of the best who really had to learn how to cut out all the ancillary stuff to deal with this kind of stuff in the military because this is what you will face in the real world. To this, Tim did an incredible job.
“He’s completely approachable. He’s one of the scariest people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and one of the most intimidating, yet totally approachable and was able to focus not on his incredible skills but how to instill those skills in each of us. You’re not really focused here on a strategy, a technique, a blue-belt, a black-belt. All he teaches you is how to focus on targets and eliminate someone who’s out there to harm you or your family.
“Another thing I got was a huge lift in self-confidence. Beyond just that you’re a successful businessperson or that you’ve had some achievements in your life, there’s always that lingering question that if you were ever taken out of your comfort zone by an attacker or mugger, how would you handle yourself. And I found the answer to that question this weekend in that I now have options.
“And I now have enormous respect for what one human being is capable of doing to another. And because of this weekend I think I will be less inclined to seek out any type of conflict because you just don’t know. Tim is a very large individual but if someone 1/10 his size were taught this same information and strategies, they could do devastation on a 400-pound individual. Which leads me to believe I don’t want to get into a conflict if I can avoid it but if I ever had to, this training gives me that exact same edge over anyone else.
“Finally, Tim focuses very, very clearly on targets and objectives and that applies directly to so many areas that you have in business and personal life.”

“I look forward to more learning and practice.”
“This weekend course gave me a clear understanding of the principles involved in neutralizing an opponent. Unlike all the forms of self-defense and martial arts I’ve been exposed to, this program really identified the purpose of various moves and strikes. The concept of an opponent, regardless of size or weapons he might have, as a collection of vulnerable targets was very enlightening. I look forward to more learning and practice.”

“All I can say is that Tim Larkin has made me look at certain situations in a totally different way. He has changed my way of thinking in a crisis situation. He has given me the knowledge to be prepared and to look for “targets” on a would-be attacker. He has taught me about primary, secondary and ancillary weapons. His teachings are invaluable to an average person such as myself. I could never have gotten this type of knowledge anywhere else. You cannot put a price-tag on what Tim has taught me, and for that I thank him. If anyone is thinking about taking a course from him, don’t think, just do it….It may just save your life someday…”

“I loved it! Tim you have made the art of war a simple and very straightforward task. You answered all of my questions thoroughly in a very easy to understand way. You demonstrated every move no matter how many times it took and explained until I understood. My training at home will never be the same because of you. I will see you next seminar.”

“Through the techniques Tim showed us I realized how easy it was to overcome an individual no matter what their size was. Also how effective it was compared to other training I have had in the past. I would like to continue with this training and show it to my family and close friends. I would also like to take this seminar again in the future. My confidence level has increased immensely in the three days.”

“This greatly increased my self-confidence in a threatening situation. I have always wanted to take a course in martial arts but realized that it would take years before I would be at a point that it would be beneficial. In two days, I feel like I was able to attain a level of training to protect myself and feel that it is actually more pertinent than a martial arts class would be.”
