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 [...]

“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 [...]

“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 those, [...]

“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 be [...]

No one else is doing this kind of useful training… “Excellent. No one else is doing this kind of useful training. It’s a base knowledge that you can use for the rest of your life. The new format of not working from a strike teaches you not to wait and to [...]

“The TFT material has shed light on the grey area of violence. So simple to understand, anyone can pick it up and learn the truth about surviving an undesirable situation. One of the most significant reads I’ve come across. I highly recommend it!” Justin Negrete, Madison, WI //

“Cuts through a lot of things you would have to go through in a traditional school (martial arts). This is the most time efficient and realistic approach I’ve ever seen. It’s a must.” Bruce Kelly Chicago, IL //

“I’ve ordered video’s from names like (withheld) and respect them and their ideas. But you have given me a logical system that I can train and do despite an artificial hip and other chronic injuries as a result of 33 yrs of firefighting.” John Carmody Norfolk, VA //

“TFT has nothing to do with being muscular. Instead it has everything to do with a sense of confidence and understanding that there are various target points on the body, and being able to access them is devastating… ” Brad Kay, Advertising Executive Merkley, Newman, Harty & Partners New York City //

“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 end [...]

“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 //

“Better than any I have ever seen” “I have done some form of martial arts for over 20 years and have been exposed to a lot of instructional tapes on various aspects of joint work. I do have to say your DVD is the most concise and explains the principles and applications better than any I [...]

“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 [...]

“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 //

“…exactly as advertised — intense, targeted, focused training designed to produce immediate results.”

“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 study [...]

“I have 15 years of training, Tae Kwon Do to Aikido, a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. I never stuck with one for more than 2 years like lots of folks. Each got redundant. I felt I walked out of the dojo without anything I could practically use on the street. So I hopped from one [...]

Nothing was kept secret… “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 //

“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 [...]

“The new target chart is simply terrific, well done, and absofreekin beautiful. I’m running out tonight to have it matted and framed, to hang in the house, so the entire family will gain from the knowledge it contains. Just another well produced TFT product, as is everything you have put out at this point. I patiently [...]

“When I first learned about Tim Larkin and that he would be coming to New York to do a training session, I was very intrigued. While I did think that his hand to hand combat training might be useful to me, I was probably more fascinated with the prospect of seeing what this “trained killer” [...]

“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. Growing up when you saw the local tough guys fighting on the corner they were pretty much bare knuckle boxing, until someone went down and it ended in a boot party. [...]

“One concept has more than doubled my business success!” “After taking your courses, not only do I now have the freedom to know exactly what to do in a life or death situation, but one simple concept I learned there has increased my business success more than double! I’m extremely fortunate that someone recommended TFT [...]

“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 [...]

“I have 15 years of martial arts training and 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.” Walter Coddington, [...]

“This book will quickly strip away your ingrained, false perceptions about hand-to-hand combat and give you confidence that, with an understanding of what is really needed for victory, you could actually defend yourself against any attacker, regardless of differentials in size, aggressiveness, or skill level.” Scott Nelson, Houston, TX //

“Target Focus Training is not about an individual. Even though Tim Larkin created it, it truly is a ’system’ and all the instructors that are part of the team are amazing and in sync. All work off the principles and the systems, and while you see nuances that are exciting in each instructor, there is [...]

“I’ve had a lot of weapons training with [my husband - a police officer]. NOTHING was as effective as this course. The gun in my hand, or the knife in my hand, was in my way at this point. I couldn’t believe what my hands could do! And if there’s a woman out there that’s [...]

“It was really a game changer for me. There have been several times in my life when I felt I truly became enlightened about something and it forever changed my outlook – this book is one of them. I trained in college for Tae Kwon Do and became very effective at hitting targets. Now, I realize [...]

“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 [...]

“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 [...]

“The models are excellent. I’ve done competitive sports where fighting is involved and I always knew they wouldn’t have any application in a real street situation. Tim showed us some really good methods to defuse situations, or turn the situation around where you’re no longer being attached, you’re the attacker. He keeps the instructions simple, [...]

“This course exceeded my expectations. As a Vietnam vet (Navy) I was sent to a first-class swimming course designed to train a person to rescue downed pilots. 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 [...]

“Far superior to anything I have seen before from any source” “I have purchased a number of your video packages and just want to make the comment that as good as the first package was (New York live training series), the Leverage package is far superior to anything I have seen before from any source. As [...]

“What I’ve learned has definitely escalated my skills to a whole new level.” “…when I came to Tim Larkin’s training in Dallas…I was doubtful as to whether or not someone could take a weekend training and be able to apply it effectively and especially in a lethal way, which he is talking about in all the [...]

Life changing experience… “I have nearly 20 years law enforcement experience and this training is clean cut no BS straight to the point. All those years and not until now that I have a tool I can use and develop. This is the best training I have had. A Life changing experience!” [...]

“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 //

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 [...]

“It’s real, scientific, and it works.” Dennis Burns Indianapolis, IN //

“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. I find your method of fighting… let me rephrase that… your method of [...]
