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:

• How a catastrophic injury that ended his SEAL career lead to an a life-changing discovery
• Why the SEALS were interested in a hand-to-hand system (it's not what you think)
• What people get wrong about violence
• How TFT gives you. an advantage against stronger, more skilled opponents
• AND more!

This is one of my favorite episodes, so make sure you don't miss it.

So, pull up a chair and sit a spell as we talk with Tim Larkin inside this week's episode of the Pearl Snap Tactical Podcast!
