As we walked along   two of them left the group and began to follow us and close the   distance. When one of them reached into my back pocket I grabbed him by   the neck, rotated through and bounced him off the wall of a building. I   put him on the ground and ascertained that he had nothing of mine in his   hands. I looked around for his companion and discovered that he had run   off. (My significant other was holding her walking stick ready to   strike at either of them). <\/p>\n<p>Now   let me describe myself&#8230; I am 57 years old, 5&#8242; 11&#8243; and 330 pounds. I   am in lousy physical shape, as I work behind a desk and eat too much and   don&#8217;t get enough exercise. <\/p>\n<p>My significant other is older than I am, and neither of us is likely to run away from a dangerous situation successfully.<\/p>\n<p>How   did I become an old, fat, out of shape killing machine? Well the old,   fat, and out of shape part took years to perfect, but sometime in 2006 I   became aware of Tim Larkin and Target Focus Training&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I was interested in the philosophy expressed on the TFT web-site. <\/p>\n<p>Two things impressed me immediately. <\/p>\n<p>The first was the concentration on function, not form. The objective is to cause a disabling injury to your opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Second,   the training is available to people of every size, gender and physical   condition. The size or condition of the opponent is of secondary   importance because the physiological reactions to the TFT strikes and   kicks are involuntary. <\/p>\n<p>If one learns to deliver a disabling injury and follows through, no opponent can prevent one&#8217;s successful self defense.<\/p>\n<p>I ordered the DVD set and it arrived promptly. <\/p>\n<p>Tim   Larkin made the point that criminal violence doesn&#8217;t depend on skill or   practice, but on inflicting injury on a victim. I watched the DVDs   every night for a week and realized that this information was useful and   of vital importance. <\/p>\n<p>The   sessions are well described, the instructions are clear, and the   practice shown is illustrative and helpful. I learned a good deal from   this abbreviated set of DVDs and was determined to get more TFT   training.<\/p>\n<p>When the sixteen   disc course became available I immediately sent for it. It took me a   couple of weeks of evening sessions to watch the whole series, which   essentially condenses the three day live course into about 16 hours of   instruction. <\/p>\n<p>This set of DVDs is terrific! <\/p>\n<p>The   whole course is presented logically, with the sections on asocial   violence, legal responsibility and post incident considerations   thoroughly handled. <\/p>\n<p>Each   section on different types of injuries is concisely covered, and the   demonstrations are just as real as when you are attending the class. No   one is seriously injured, thanks to the quality of the instruction, but   some of the instructors and mastery class members come away with   bruises. You watch real people practicing the moves, being coached by   first class instructors and learning to strike, rotate and follow   through.<\/p>\n<p>I have re-watched   almost every one of those discs and find each time that I learn more   and reinforce the training. The technical side is thoroughly and   carefully explained and the time devoted to practice and coaching makes   it clear how the training works and why it does. <\/p>\n<p>I   cannot endorse them highly enough, and would cheerfully buy them again   at full price, which is remarkable for someone as frugal as myself.<\/p>\n<p>I   like to travel and to walk around the various cities we visit both in   the U.S. and abroad. In the past I have been apprehensive in various   neighborhoods and wondered how I would react if we were confronted by   bad guys. <\/p>\n<p>I regarded many   younger larger and probably stronger individuals as threatening,   especially in unfamiliar neighborhoods and unknown cultural situations. <\/p>\n<p>I stayed aware, and tried to appear confident but I was uncertain what I would do if violence began. <\/p>\n<p>With   the benefit of the TFT training DVDs I know that, while anyone can be   outnumbered (and TFT is excellent on dealing with multiple adversaries) I   have the tools to protect myself and my significant other against an   attacker.<\/p>\n<p>Since viewing   and reviewing the TFT DVDs I look at bad guys on the street as potential   Targets, not as Threats. It is hard to convey in words how profound the   transformation has been. <\/p>\n<p>The   TFT training DVD course is extremely thorough, dealing with everything   from the nature of violence to the physics and physiology of inflicting   injury to dealing with armed attackers and multiple adversaries. <\/p>\n<p>I   do not believe that anyone can watch the whole sixteen hours or so and   not come away prepared to defend him or herself effectively from   violence in our society.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m   a great example of how anyone of any age or physical condition can   learn how violence works, and how to counter it by causing injury to an   opponent. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t think   of a better opportunity to learn how, than these TFT training DVD&#8217;s and   want to thank you for bringing this information to the attention of your   Front Sight students. <\/p>\n<p>You   are right, an unimaginable amount of freedom and self confidence is   gained through knowing how to incapacitate a violent opponent within 5   seconds or less. Take it from me, you are also correct that everyone   should own this amazing DVD collection!<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>John Rapinchuk<br \/>\n    Importer<br \/>\n    San Francisco<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Do   what John Rapinchuk did and gain a profound transformation in your   ability to walk the streets in command and control, regardless of your   age, size, or physical shape.<\/p>\n<p>I   recommend that YOU and EVERYONE associated with Front Sight take   advantage of this amazing offer to receive Tim Larkin&#8217;s (At Home) Target   Focus Training DVD Package.<\/p>\n<p>I   recommend that YOU and EVERYONE associated with Front Sight take   advantage of this amazing offer to receive Tim Larkin&#8217;s (At Home) Target   Focus Training DVD Package.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/m260.infusionsoft.com\/go\/FSHW\/FS\/\">https:\/\/m260.infusionsoft.com\/go\/FSHW\/FS\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I   mean it. I rarely ever endorse ANYONE, but I am endorsing Tim Larkin   and his (At Home) Target Focus Training DVD Package because what <strong>Front Sight is to Firearms Training, Tim Larkin is to unarmed Self-Defense.<\/strong> No exaggeration.

Again, this is serious stuff. <\/p>\n<p>EVERYONE,   no matter what your age or physical condition can very quickly learn   and use Tim Larkin&#8217;s Target Focus Training techniques. <\/p>\n<p>So   here is your chance. Don&#8217;t blow it because I doubt Tim will ever this   most comprehensive package again and you won&#8217;t likely ever see me   endorsing another trainer to my list of subscribers. <\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of Tim Larkin&#8217;s (At Home) Target Focus Training DVD Package by going here: <\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/m260.infusionsoft.com\/go\/FSHW\/FS\/\">https:\/\/m260.infusionsoft.com\/go\/FSHW\/FS\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will be glad you did and you will be as equally impressed with Tim Larkin as I am.<\/p>\n<p>Again,   I want YOU to take advantage of this offer and then share the DVD&#8217;s   with your immediate family so they too can command their immediate   environment even if they do not have their gun with them.<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ignatius Piazza<br \/>\nFounder and Director<br \/>\n<a title=\"front sight\" href=\"\/front-sight\/\">Front Sight<\/a> Firearms Training Institute<br \/>\n7975 Cameron Drive, #900<br \/>\nWindsor, CA 95492<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.frontsight.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.frontsight.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:info@frontsight.com\">info@frontsight.com<\/a><br \/>\n1.800.987.7719<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I understand there are times when even the most dedicated, concealed carry permit holder may not have a gun.
