For close to two decades, Tim Larkin has been a prominent figure in the realm of self-defense and close-combat training.  After a tragic injury ended a career in the Navy SEALs before it began, Tim forged a new path as an intelligence officer.  

As fate would have it, his journey led him back to the SEAL teams where he became instrumental in the development of the hand-to-hand fighting system, which they later adopted.  

This system later evolved into the Target Focus Training system (TFT), which Tim has taught to elite military operators, police, and civilians around the world.

In this exciting episode, we cover:

We train, we prepare, and we hope that we never have to use the skills we've been developing. Yet, sometimes, violence isn't just the answer... it's the only answer.

The question is, do you have what it takes?  

If the moment were to come that you had to put your skills to the test to protect your self or your family, could you make the stuff you've learned work?
Let's be honest; unless you're in the military or law enforcement, most of us don't have jobs where violence comes as part of the job description. So, how do we reconcile the skills we hone with the stark possibility that, one day, we might need to employ them?
This episode is not about glorifying violence; it's about addressing the questions we often whisper to ourselves. Can we truly prevail in a lethal encounter?  

Will our training translate into effective action when it matters most?
Join us as we explore the psychology, training, and ethical considerations surrounding the mastery of violence. We confront the doubts that linger in the minds of civilians and provide insights that go beyond tactical strategies.
