TFT Sourcebook

THE comprehensive self defense reference “bible” that shows you everything you need to know about Target Focus Training from principles to application techniques. Perfect complement to the TFT book, “How To Survive The Most Critical 5 Seconds Of Your Life.”

Begins with what true violence really is, then lays out the entire case why using violence IS the only way to defend yourself against it! After that, it walks you step-by-step through the complete set of integrated self defense tools that help you internalize the process, leaving you instantly able to call on any of them should it ever be required.

NOT a simple regurgitation of what is shown on the various TFT self defense DVDs, this SourceBook is more a reference manual that lets you dig deeply into the “how” and “why” this system gives you such an advantage over an unsuspecting criminal… even if you don’t posses unusual skills or athletic ability.

3-Physical dynamics: detail applications of striking, joint breaking and throwing.

“As a non-lethal force training officer, I found TFT to be the best…” “With 36 years in Martial Arts and being the training officer on non-lethal force I have found that TFT is the best system for everyone.

“What I found to be the biggest benefit of the training is the mental attitude necessary to carry it through. The mindset, pro-active thought and action, thinking in series, targeting a goal, all have significant application in everyday life.” B.

“All I can say is – why didn’t anyone tell me about you sooner?

“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 [...]

“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.

“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 [...]

“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, [...]

Way above 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.

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 [...]

“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.

“Unmatched in the industry!” “The techniques you teach in the new Striking Series are easy to follow but would be completely ineffective if you hadn’t taken the time to explain the principles behind using your weight in every strike instead of your strength.

“This Series showed us things we never even thought about before” “Almost every fight I’ve been in wound up looking like a sloppy boxing match.
