Ep 050 – Tim Larkin | Sometimes Violence is the Answer – Part 2

February 12, 2018 By Thad Forester

Tim Larkin

The Most Effective Self-Protection Training in the World

Here in part 2, Tim goes into more detail about how to protect yourself and he provides real-world examples both by his students and by other random acts of violence.  Then you’ll understand why it’s absolutely crucial to know how to survive the most critical 5 seconds of your life.

If you don’t know the name Tim Larkin (@TFTTimLarkin), that’s probably a good thing.  Why?  Because most civilians who come to him have already had a violent encounter and been a victim.

Tim Larkin is the founder & creator of Target Focus Training, the world leader in personal-protection training. For more than 25 years he’s taught everyone from US Navy SEALS to regular citizens how to survive unavoidable violent attacks.

Larkin gave me a lot of time for this interview and in episode 1 he went into detail about his background and why he started Target Focus Training.  He also explains why he uses the methods he does, because they are unique.  He emphasizes the tools he teaches have nothing to do with your athleticism, size or strength.
