“The new target chart is simply terrific…”

“My expectations were high. I wasn’t disappointed.” William D Haueter Magna, UT

I highly recommend Tim Larkin’s course to military and law enforcement personnel and civilians alike. Very realistic and to the point training. One of the things that surprised me was how Tim succeeded to get people with no martial arts background to get their strikes’ timing and range right within hours. As you know, in most martial [...]

“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

“All I can say is – why didn’t anyone tell me about you sooner? Most people waste countless years searching for the answer to the question, “How would I defend myself (and my family) in a life-or-death confrontation?” That question leads many down the wrong path — they go to the gym to get bigger [...]

“When I first started here I was pretty skeptical that I could learn techniques that, it seemed to me were pretty advanced self-protection, in such a short time. Actually, the way (Tim) teaches is so easy to learn that you feel very empowered, very quickly … It’s an excellent place to quickly learn non-threatening techniques [...]

“The course has instilled a quiet confidence in me. This confidence stems from Tim’s lessons, which have showed me that my brain is my most dangerous weapon, and this weapon is now armed with the knowledge of how best to deal with a wide range of violent scenarios. From knife attacks to crowd control situations [...]

“I couldn’t put it down. Read it in one sitting. It’s a brilliant study on the use of violence as a tool and its use in social, asocial, & antisocial settings. If you’re considering the purchase of any self defense tool or training I highly recommend you read this book before doing so. You won’t [...]

“The advantage Striking gave me in close quarter combat is almost illegal!” “As a Vice cop in one of the most violent small cities in the country, the skills that are taught in the Striking Series DVD’s are truly life-saving.” Lt. Mark Talbot Vice Unit Commander Reading Police Department

“I recently purchased the 17 DVD set and I am truly amazed at the research you have done and the way you have distilled the essence into an easy to understand and apply method. Regard’s,” W. W. Gorski Montana

“For me, a veteran of the martial arts and a medical professional Target Focus™ Training was just as spectacular. I heard explanations that would befit a trauma specialist and learned principles that most martial arts masters save for their advanced black belts. Without cloaking techniques in mysticism, without diluting the realities of combat in a [...]

Actually, the way (Tim) teaches is so easy to learn that you feel very empowered, very quickly … It’s an excellent place to quickly learn non-threatening techniques [...]

“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. I worked with women in the class, and please believe me when I say that what they did to me during free fighting made me a believer that you [...]

“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

“An “equalizer” regardless of size, weight and gender” “A student for more than a decade in a martial art that includes joint breaking, I was quite impressed with your Lethal Leverage System and have studied them carefully, also in slow motion. “Other DVD programs attempt to include joint breaking in their “self defense systems,” and [...]

“Gives you a life saving skill essential to successfully living in the present world. I have studied/taught martial art for 37 years and found this a refreshing and utilitarian approach to fighting I will pursue further. Definitely will change the way I practice my martial arts.” Joseph Bobovsky, Physician Yakima, WA

“A person can attend this and get more actual fighting ability than they would by signing up for a lengthy martial arts program. As a police officer I learned more about surviving a deadly encounter [in 2½ days] than in 13 years of experience.” Rocky Triplet, Police Officer Reno, NV

“I am 55 years old and have spent most of my life trying to become better at defending myself and family. I went thru the macho stage where bar fights were the measure of the man; then to martial arts training but never getting good enough to be instinctive with it. When I found TFT [...]

“…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 [...]

“Other programs left me with questions. You left none!” “I run a martial arts school in Washington state. My business partner and I have always questioned some of what we were taught regarding practicality. When we came across your program it was like someone flipped the switch. We followed the programs to the letter looking [...]

“…In one single weekend I was no longer afraid to walk down any street anywhere. You can’t put a price on that kind of peace of mind and self-confidence. In fact, I couldn’t have paid enough money for the value received and lessons learned.” Joe Lowry New Rochelle, NY

“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 [...]

“If you’re smart — buy this package!” “I am long past the point of learning “flashy techniques”. Techniques are, or at least, should be application of principles. Many people advocate, “Practice makes perfect”. Not if what you are practicing is inadequate. “Perfect practice makes perfect”! “Without the principles behind techniques you do not have a [...]

“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 [...]

“Very well constructed” “It’s marvelous, because it reduces the whole thing to basic principles: three rotation axes, and two directions of rotation about each one – six base leverages; what does it take to bring any one of those leverages to the pathological limit, and beyond? That’s IT. Nothing more needs to be added. From [...]

“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. [...]

“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.”

Using the disarm you taught us, 3 TIMES I took the pistol away from him without being ‘shot.’” “Yesterday I was a part of a pistol certification course put on by [a well-known and highly regarded instructor] for a major US city Police Department SWAT team. “To make a long story short — at the [...]

“It gives a 360 degree understanding of the subject. I possessed the physical side and understanding but I could never fully understand the mental part. Once I finished your book I realized I could get the job done if need be… without hesitation. The way you communicate so clearly on the subject, I can see [...]

“I believe that I must express my respect and gratitude to the creators and implementers of this educational product-system who exceeded all my expectations for their vision, discipline, passion, ethics, courage, dedication, and enthusiasm to help others to live better lives.

“I have not even finished viewing the second disc of your new, live training magnum opus, “Surviving the Most Critical 5 Seconds of Your Life” 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 [...]

“I had never been through training presented like this. We jumped immediately into drills. It made me learn very quickly. Improves fighting skills quickly without a lot of filler material. You definitely get what you pay for.” Matt, Federal Law Enforcement Officer Mt. Pleasant, SC

No longer will fear getting into a situation where I can’t get to my weapon… “Being a police officer I thought that my gun was the most lethal weapon. I now know that my brain is the most lethal weapon and I no longer will fear over getting into a situation where I can’t get [...]

“Did in hours what others can’t do in even years.” “I highly recommend Tim Larkin’s course to military personnel and civilians. Very realistic and to the point training. One of the things that surprised me was how Tim succeeded to get people with no martial arts background to get their strikes’ timing and range right [...]

“You don’t have to be extremely strong to Strike HARD” “I have been trained in boxing and tae-kwon-do and I thought striking someone involved punching, kicking, elbows, etc. and I also assumed that I needed ’X’ amount of strength to put the KA-POW into it. What I learned from the Striking Series is that you don’t need to [...]

“One reason I came to this training is if I found myself in a life-threatening situation I wanted to be able to be able to handle that. The training accomplished that and a whole lot more. “What I hadn’t expected were the direct business applications. We are defensive by nature; all of our terminology is [...]

“Surpassed any expectations that I could have imagined! At last someone tells the truth! Everything was broken down to the simplest of terms and nothing was kept secret from anyone. Well Done!” William Allen Mapleton, ME

“I’ve watched all the NY videotapes and they have totally transcended my expectations. I’ve purchased [other] tapes and even attended [other live training] camps. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of all the principles involved. However, the quantity AND quality of information on these tapes just blew me away completely.”

Erase the lack of confidence in my abilities, regardless of age… “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. Your verbal and visual teaching method really worked well for me. [...]

“I recently purchased your 17 DVD series and after review, I am quite impressed. In addition, I find myself releasing my grip on traditional convention that I’ve previously learned through 11 years of training in Judo/Jujitsu…This I did not expect, although I must attest, I am most pleased that things are becoming clearer than I [...]
