Target Focus Training\sThe Foundation Series 2016\s“Unarmed Self-Defense For Extreme Situations”
Welcome to the newest evolution of what has been called, “the most devastatingly-powerful, scientifically-proven self-defense system in the world today”.
Along with my Master Instructors, we’ll show you simply, with plain English and crystal clear instruction how to quickly stop anyattacker dead in his tracks by inflicting crippling pain from injury to easily-damaged body parts…
… body parts that can’t be strengthened and are equally vulnerable, even on the biggest of brutes.
You’ll learn to do this by using simple, intuitive movements you can instantaneously and automatically recall and do… even if… you’re non-athletic, small or out-of-shape.
Here is what’s including in the package:
For the first time we’ve uniquely broken this product into 2 distinct parts.
Part 1 is the actual “Live Class” video.
Consisting of 6 DVDs, you’re right there on the mats to watch the detailed training interaction of instructors with the class.
You’ll learn TFT’s proprietary approach to “Target Assembly” and “Free Practice,” hear live Q&A, see what works & doesn’t, watch instructor correction of participants, and much more.
Other times, you’re a fly-on-the-wall, listening to “…explanations that would befit a trauma specialist…” as Mark Cheng, Columnist and Contributing Editor for Black Belt Magazine and Director/Sifu for the Chung Hua Institute in Los Angeles noted after attending a live TFT class.
Here’s a description of each “Live Class” DVD and some, just some of the tips, tricks, secrets and fight-ending TFT methods you’ll discover:
Live Class, Disc #1:\sThe Mechanical Facts Of Violence\sIntroduction by Tim Larkin, TFT Creator and Founder
Why athletic ability, size, speed and strength is not a necessity to win in a violent encounter. You’ll learn how to use space and body weight to tip the playing field with bad guys in YOUR favor.
How TFT differs dramatically, (and is actually safer to train), than other systems that employ a “last man standing” training philosophy! (In fact, safety is a by-product of TFT.)
Who the most wildly-effective people are at using the tool of violence! (They’re not highly-trained martial artists, wrestlers, or boxers. In fact, most have no training at all.)
The secret to breaking down the human body and making it non-functional almost instantly, ending the encounter on YOUR terms. (This is important because, most violent encounters only last 5 seconds.)
How TFT mimics beginning firearms training… or… why it’s slow, steady and silent! (People understand this with firearms, because the consequences are dire. But they tend to throw it out the window and blast full-speed ahead when training without a weapon. That’s wrong, and you are going to learn why.)
Live Class, Disc #1:\sThe Mechanical Facts Of Violence
Chris Ranck-Buhr, Master Instructor
The little-known secret to breaking the human body with your bare hands!
Why we don’t train you to talk yourself out of situations or run away. (Not that you shouldn’t ever do these things, but there’s a specific reason and easy explanation for why we don’t bother to train you to do either one.)
Why it’s actually harder to teach TFT to adults—especially American adults—than children. (This “quirk” holds the master-key to you getting maximum results.)
3 reasons why we go slow—VERY slow—in training! (And it’s not safety, although TFT is incredible safe to practice.)
Live Class, Disc #2:\sInitial Target Assembly\sTarget Assembly — Eyes
The intent you should have when going after a thug’s eyes. (Most people get this wrong… and lose a huge advantage, while giving the attacker the upper hand.)
What you absolutely must do to actually injure the eyes. (If you get this wrong, it is wasteful and dangerous. Many people have—as a last resort—tried to incorrectly injure the eyes of their attacker while being strangled and ended up in the morgue.)
Why you should never “aim to miss” while training. (Of course, you can’t make contact with the eyes. But… you’ll see how to “stay on target” safely.)
Two reasons why the best position for attacking the eyes is while your assailant is on the ground.
What is meant by “the step is the strike” and why you need to tattoo this on your brain!
Live Class, Disc #2:\sInitial Target Assembly
Target Assembly — Ring of Neck
The “holy trinity” of throat strikes. (WARNING: These can all be lethal.)
Three ways to strike the neck when a person is on their hands and knees. (You also have 2 different striking surfaces you can use.)
How to ensure your bodyweight is always fully into any strike! (By the way, the universe and laws of physics could care less if you’re nearly all muscle or have 40% bodyfat, if you strike right, every ounce of you will go into causing an injury. After all, why do you think football lineman put on as much weight as possible… to the point of being technically obese?)
Why we don’t teach hand strikes… and… what to use instead. (It’s a superior striking surface and far tougher to take you out of the fight.)
Live Class, Disc #2:\sInitial Target Assembly\sTarget Assembly — Groin
Two results you want from a groin strike. (Almost everyone gets this wrong, because it is not about damaging genitalia. And gender makes zero difference.)
Why you think of “cleaning off your cleats” and “kicking the stump” when striking the groin. (This is key for two reasons, (1) causing injury to the attacker and, (2) injury-avoidance for you.)
Why—when you are on the ground—you always want to think groin, Groin, GROIN!
Why you never want to worry about hitting hard… and… what two things you should really be focused on to increase your chances of causing debilitating injury to your attacker.
Live Class, Disc #2:\sInitial Target Assembly\sTarget Assembly — Ankle
How to put an attacker on the deck quick as a whistle. (This is far easier, effective and smarter than trying to man-handle someone to the ground.)
The exact 1 square inch target area you want to strike on the ankle both from the inside and the outside!
The secret behind “crossing the ‘T’” with your skeletons. (This is critical to rapidly injuring your assailant.)
The four most bullet-proof ways for you to strike the ankle and send a thug a message he messed with the wrong guy.
Live Class, Disc #3:\sFree Practice & Additional Target Assembly
How To Free Practice
7 things you already know how to do that will cause debilitating, non-functional injury to a bad guy.
Three things you should focus on that make it most likely you’ll get an injury that will take your attacker OUT of the fight, which… is always your #1 goal. (Not one of these is any kind of fancy technique.)
How to determine when you should turn your back and “get the hell out of there.” (This is not about running away, but about knowing when you’re done and it’s safe to leave.)
How firearms training is key to showing you the correct way to free practice.
Live Class, Disc #3:\sFree Practice & Additional Target Assembly\sTarget Assemble — Solar Plexus
How to find the solar plexus every time… no matter whether your attacker is standing or on the ground.
The two-fold goal in injuring the solar plexus when your attacker is on the ground… and… the 2 ways to strike it for maximum hurt factor.
How to spear the solar plexus with your “skeleton” for maximum injury. (There’s a simple wall exercise that shows you that you already know how to do this.)
How even the smallest 105-pound-woman can wreck a 240-pound-man! (
Believe it or not, it’s true. And you’ll understand why when you see the video demonstration.
Live Class, Disc #3:\sFree Practice & Additional Target Assembly\sTarget Assemble — Knee
Why you must always have prior injury before attacking the knee.
A simple exercise that automatically sets you up for causing injury to the knee of an assailant.
How striking the knee from the back gives you two injuries for one!
What you must keep in mind to avoid injury to yourself when training sideways knee strikes.
How to easily find the target area for the knee from any position you may be put in.
Live Class, Disc #3:\sFree Practice & Additional Target Assembly
Target Assemble — Lower Margin Of Rib Cage
The advantages and disadvantages of this target area… and… how to maximize fight-stopping injury to thugs.
How to attack the “false ribs” which are much more vulnerable than real ribs.
My BIG WARNING about the “when” and “where” of violent attacks. (Ignore this at your own peril.)
Two ways to strike the lower area of the rib cage when your attacker is lying on the ground.
The three keys to causing real injury to the lower margin of the rib cage. (Leave any one of these out and you might as well just slap him. It’ll have about the same poor result.)
Live Class, Disc #4:\sFine-Tuning Your Free Practice
Build-A-Strike
How to strike with your full bodyweight and generate 3 1/2 times more force than using your limbs alone. This is the secret to beating bigger, faster and stronger attackers.
The problem with training only high-velocity strikes. (Once you understand this, you’ll understand why we train “silent and slow” to download the moves into muscle memory FAST.)
4 simple steps to building-a-strike from the ground up for maximum effectiveness.
How the Magic Red “X” automatically puts you in the perfect place for delivering maximum power and causing devastating injury with your strikes. (This is a game changer… and… although it sounds mysterious, it’s actually a simple concept that you’ll master in a few minutes.)
A simple metaphor for multiplying your striking power. (If you keep this in mind, you’ll always deliver more force to your target.)
How to injure an attacker by using his own bodyweight against him.
Live Class, Disc #4:\sFine-Tuning Your Free Practice
It’s Not Magic
Why TFT instruction feels unnatural at first… and… why that is a good thing!
The reason you don’t want to fight, look for fights or train for fighting when it comes to preparing to survive and thrive in violent encounters.
The BIG problem with technique training… which… is what everyone else out there teaches.

We Live In A Physical World
- The reality about violence in the real world… and… how to always be prepared for it… whether on the street, in a dark parking lot, or in your own house!
Why trained combat sport fighters are occasionally startled to damage someone… and… what this implications for your success in a real-world, violent battle with a criminal.
A basic mental procedure that will assist you in avoiding potentially risky situations. (This is the first and most critical step towards avoiding violence.)How to overcome your fear of weapons, particularly the dread of weapons being used against you.
There are four key methods to being better and quicker at TFT. (In fact, these secret procedures may be used to learn anything quickly.)Disc #4, Live Class: Fine-Tuning Your Free Practice
Maximize Physics while minimizing PhysiologyThe statement “maximize the physics, minimize the physiology” is explained by two universal notions. (Once you grasp these notions, you’ll have the “golden key” to inflicting crippling harm. This also explains how a little woman is able to knock down a fierce, aggressive, monster-sized street thug. I know that seems ridiculous, but you’ll see why it’s true.)
In a violent situation, how to rapidly alter things in your favor. (This never fails and should be your primary goal.)
Why you should never view of violence as “fighting,” but rather as a “brutal battle.” (I understand that this seems harsh, but the reality isn’t always pretty… You’re toast if you don’t play by the same rules as a criminal.)Perfect Practice, Live Class, Disc #4: Fine-Tuning Your Free Practice
The perplexing reality about how real-life experiences lead you to perform worse rather than better. (Most individuals believe they will be more driven to strive harder or hit harder, yet the exact reverse is true.)
Two uncontrollable unfavorable aspects of biological fear. (You must instead learn to “work” with these forces.)How to Determine the Appropriate Training Speed. (Trust me, from training thousands upon thousands of pupils, I can assure you that you train too quickly. And this can lead to your death on the street.)
Why is our most experienced TFT user in the real world training so slowly? (Unfortunately, he’s had to evict more individuals than anybody else I know utilizing my approach. But, in reality, he’s the slowest trainer we have.)Disc #4, Live Class: Fine-Tuning Your Free Practice
The Brain Can Only Return to Previous LocationsWhat you can learn from TFT Master Instructor Chris Ranck-two Buhr’s near-drowning incidents that can save your life in the event of a violent encounter.
How to prevent the “freeze reflex” when faced with street punks by avoiding psychological terror.
Why, psychologically, your purpose is to perceive violence from a winner’s perspective… the asocial approach. (Until you get there, you’ll always be on the losing side.)The number one thing that people who have been taught in TFT and have had to apply it in real life say happened that enabled them to utilize it automatically and successfully.
The very first thing you do in TFT is what makes it so successful. (Not only is it the first thing, but it is also the only thing. If required, you just repeat it.)Disc #5: Tools — Knife, Baton, and Firearms Knife
Why do we frequently refer to weapons as “tools” (regardless of what the weapon is or does)… and… how all of the previous DVDs provided you with all of the fundamental knowledge required to operate with weaponry.
The only two acceptable knife grips. (Perhaps you’re doing it incorrectly right now.)
How big of an advantage a knife has over bare hands. (Hint: It’s not as beneficial as you believe.)When people stab one other in real-life violence, they do so in two ways. (No fancy procedures used here… Just down-and-dirty, get the job done, work. By the way, this is based on FBI data on the jail population.)
What a knife does to your target locations! (You should be aware of this since there are really LESS target opportunities that genuinely matter without it.)Knife Demo: The Coin-Flip Of Violence, Live Class, Disc #5: Tools — Knife, Baton, & Firearms
Why “knife defense” fails in real-world violence. (You’ll witness a video demonstration that proves definitively that conventional knife defense tactics work… and… why it ALWAYS fails. This is why inmates are so successful.)
Another video presentation, this time with two instances that demonstrate what successful knife work entails. (WARNING: One illustration is nasty, although the one where the person dies seems like a flesh wound.)
Why, whether armed or not, the person with the smallest feasible “to-do” list wins. (NOTE: You definitely want to be this person, and you’ll figure out how to achieve it on your own.)
The one and only thing—knife or no knife—that terminates all violent situations and takes precedence over everything else. (You must do this correctly or nothing else will matter.)Disc #5: Tools — Knife, Baton, and Firearms Baton
The only two baton hits need to be successful… that is, to create non-functional harm that may induce a thug to flee! (You will be given some basic comparisons that will make them automatic and memorable in your memory.)
The baton has three primary benefits over a knife.
Why you should keep in mind that the baton is not “magic.” (In reality, if you understand the concepts of TFT, you may have one in your hand and not need to use it to stop an assault.)
Why you should never use your hands to drive a baton hit… and… “what” you should use instead.Disc #5: Tools — Knife, Baton, and Firearms Firearms
To fast stop a firearm encounter, two physical factors must be present at the same moment. (In actuality, whether or not a weapon is used, these must be present to terminate any encounter.)
Why you should never concentrate on a weapon… any weapon! (This is especially critical when dealing with a handgun.)
When it comes to guns, practically everyone, trained or not, makes the same error. (Many cops make this error…)
Another step to “gun defense” vs other weapons or hand-to-hand combat. (It’s critical to avoid being shot… But don’t worry, it’s dead simple.)Live Class Disc #6: Grabs, Holds, and Chokes Multi-man — Initial Practice
The most important physical (and mental) attribute to cultivate when confronted with several attackers. (Also, why should you ALWAYS anticipate several attackers.)
Surprisingly, penetration and rotation into one attacker keeps you safe from a secondary attacker.
How to strike while performing a figure-8 scan of the room for additional dangers. (It may appear difficult, but once demonstrated, it is a simple, natural action. Once you know the secret, it’s like having eyes in the back of your skull.)Why (and how) do you pull each attacker out of the battle one at a time?
The three fundamental “rules” of multi-attacker combat that will allow you to dominate the scenario!
This multi-man phase of starting TFT training was compared by one Black Belt magazine writer to a high-level Aikido master’s super-secret technique. (He’d just finished another Aikido class, and the master’s black belts—some of whom had been with him for 17 years—said they’d never been taught this technique. Nonetheless, that is the one we teach from the start.)
Multi-man and Grabs, Holds, and Chokes Live Class Disc #6
Chokes, Grabs, and HoldsWhy we are predisposed to grab onto someone who reaches onto us… and why it is the exact worst thing to do.
This is the mentality you want to have whenever someone touches you. (This is how you counteract your ingrained natural need to grab them back… and… how you rapidly stop the conflict.)
How to relax while inflicting immediate harm on an assailant if they grab you. (It makes no difference whether you start from the front or the back.)While in a headlock, this is an easy technique to cause immediate harm. (It doesn’t matter if you employ a front or side headlock; this is position agnostic.)
A “specific to women” consideration/position, as well as how to avoid grabs, clutches, and chokes. (This is irrespective of size/strength… for you and/or the assailant.)Closing Comments for Live Class Disc #6: Multi-man and Grabs, Holds, and Chokes
The first thing you should think about after being introduced to the TFT system. (This is how you avoid legal “hot water” if you need it.)
The four elements used by the law to assess whether you acted in self-defense… or not.
A disturbing figure revealing how many individuals die every day as a result of being punched and banging their head on the ground.If you have a choice, these are the only three completely lawful ways to stop a conflict.
How TFT training may truly spare you from incurring major, life-altering (for the worst) criminal charges. The bad ones should go to prison, not you!The first law of violence that distinguishes winners from losers.
Three reasons why TFT works for everyone while other training methods do not.
TFT transforms you into the ultimate concealed-carry weapon at all times… wherever you go.
