Is anyone familiar with this?

Based on the website, I'd stay away. Far away.

This is what I am getting at:

Two grand for two days of 'training' with 20-40 other suckers... er, students? How could I lose?

Let's just go over the warning signs on this website, shall we?

For 20 years we’ve taught these self defense principles to elite military and law enforcement agencies in 58 countries.

And now you can have these same personal protection tools that let you quickly stop an attacker dead in his tracks by inflicting crippling pain from injury to easily damaged body parts.

It’s done using simple, intuitive movements that are effective regardless of your size, strength or athleticism.

Called “the most devastatingly powerful, scientifically-proven self defense system in the world today,” Target Focus Training (TFT) lets you quickly stop any attacker dead in his tracks by inflicting crippling pain from injury to easily damaged body parts using simple, intuitive movements you can instantaneously do… even if you’re non-athletic, small or out-of-shape.

It’s uniquely effective methods (which employ violence as your ultimate survival tool) are simple and easy to master yet are so devastatingly effective at close combat they’re used by military and government agencies alike.

For nearly 20 years TFT founder and creator, Tim Larkin, has been well known in the self defense & close-combat training world but ‘under-the-radar’ to ordinary folks like you. He’s the guy operations like the US Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces and the US Border Patrol call in behind-the-scenes to teach them when it’s “kill-or-be-killed.”

During the last 20 years he’s trained not only these elite military special forces and law enforcement units but corporate and civilian clientele in New York, Las Vegas, London and other cities around the world using a combination of live training sessions and DVDs.

A sought after public speaker, Larkin has spoken to CEO’s, government officials, and business leaders in over 40 countries on how to use these same principles of surviving life-or-death violence in the less life-threatening environment of business.

I like how you don't need to be in shape to learn this and he's trained Navy SEALs but now can share his "secrets" with "ordinary folk like you."

Not to mention his awesome hair. SouthNarc is undoubtedly mad with jealousy over that alone.

Interesting reading

Thanks. I received an email from the United States Concealed Carry Assn. about this. The web site appeared to be a bunch of hype to me, but I've had very little training in this type of subject matter.

Your replies have also caused me to reconsider my joining the USCCA also. Although every once in a while I find a good article in the magazine. I won't be renewing my "membership".

[LittleLebowski]

Consider SouthNarc for training along these lines, Kent.

Kent, if you're in the Seattle Metro area, InSights Training Center also has excellent combatives and defensive folding knife training.

I definitely agree with Little Lebowski though, that website has all the signs of one of those "back pages of Black Belt Magazine" things.
