The part near the end when Mr Blauer talks about the psychological/emotional/physical problem where the skills don't fire when in an unexpected situation (e.g. ambush, or home invasion) is one of the giant problems that crops up across many human activities. Yes, it is the same problem that many students have before exams. The same problem that people have before doing public speaking. It's even the same problem that people have when they are given simple math problems out of the blue. And while it may not be immediately obvious, the TFT material does have a method in it that addresses that problem for violence. That method is the core one of reducing what you are doing to "What's the next target?" and then wrecking that target, and repeating that over and over. It's the replacement of a 'big' and complex and scary problem with a simple and straightforward task that requires zero emotion and nothing beyond concentrating on completing each small chunk one at a time until the job is done. By practicing doing that over and over you create the connections in your brain that make the process run more or less automatically once you realise that's the process to run after you process the initial psychological 'shock'. Same deal with exams and public speaking etc. You 'run te program' instead of trying to do a load of complex thinking in a very short space of time.
A novice can’t possibly appreciate this valuable teaching so easily in RUclips It took me 17 years to understand the neural system in a violent situation. Anyone who’s been training for a long time, and had experienced being frozen in a danger situations WILL FULLY understand and APPRECIATE these priceless teachings. To this day, many can’t differentiate from Marial Arts Movie and real life. Bruce Lee had a huge influence on me starting Combat Sports. Bruce Lee was amazing for his era, but he wasn’t a pro fighter, but many bet their life on it.
Followed both these men for a long time and their ideas and concepts with their training comes from understanding and are giving self-protection not a martial art. They help people understand what truly happens and how to use your tools the best you can. They know their shit and always have. Mad respect to have the both just chatting about it.
It’s the dream team! Thanks so much for doing this Tim. For a guy like me who understands the psychology/physiology but not trained, it’s critical to learn both key components that you and Tony specialise in.
Kudos, Tim. I’ve followed Tony for about two decades, now. I even became a certified S.P.E.A.R. instructor. Whenever anybody asks me who to turn to for legitimate self protection instruction, I always tell them my “go to” guys are Tim Larkin and Tony Blauer. When I saw you collaborated with Tony for this video, I thought I had died and gone to self protection heaven. Nope. It’s just one Guru recognizing the value in another Guru. Well played. This channel gets better and better.
I love the idea that violence doesn't care what martial art you study. I know there are many ways of doing things. The thing is I have to understand that the bad guys don't throw punch 3 so I can use defense 6. If you're training that way, your brain is going to go into shock. Even though you understand that it won't go down that way. You have trained so long with every punch being a step forward twisting punch, that when the guy does the look away sucker punch , you freeze and eat it. I love what you guys do. I love the fact it is so different, yet the same. What I really love is the fact you can sit in the same room and talk about this stuff with ego left at the door. I know people in the same martial arts, that can't do that. My organization dies it like this and we are right, etc. Anyway I love this stuff and and could go on forever. Keep up the great work!
I am making a follow up comment due to a news story I heard this morning. And I am not meaning this comment to be toward a particular political party. One of the candidates running for the mayor of New York City suggested that in order to curb the police from using deadly force was to teach them martial arts. All I could think about besides how ridiculous martial arts training alone would be for police officers, was Tony Blauer's comment: "Violence doesn't care what martial art you study." So true. Thank you both again.
I sometimes tell people that they can learn what they need to prevail in 95% of street confrontations in the course of an afternoon, with no sparring. It's true too. The problem is that it takes 20+ years of smashing and throwing people and getting smashed and thrown to understand that you can learn what they need to prevail in 95% of street confrontations in the course of an afternoon, with no sparring. Of course, if you fail to avoid the situation, fail to avoid confrontation, fail to defuse and de-escalate, fail to employ artifice and pre-emptively take the other guy off the planet with that first shot and as many follow-ups as may be required, then that 20+ years of smashing and throwing people and getting smashed and thrown comes in real handy.
I graduated HS in 1961. Things were different on the surface back then, but when someone started losing the rules went out the window. You and Tony Blauer remind me of the talks some of my early Tae Kwan Do instructors would have. Some times the entire hour of class would be a talk on how to avoid a fight. The modern belt factories have a different philosophy.
I am really pleased that the way you've handled bad publicity, I've loved watching your video's and literally ditched martial arts because I've always wanted proper self protection, I'm 60 years old and have trained in Wing chun, kung fu, boxing, aikido, in my youth. I listened to two videos that said you were not who you say you are or your methods are flawed, this made me think maybe they were right, so I researched all of your material, after that I bought your book, read it three quarters through at first sitting, and realized that you are the real deal, cutting edge stuff, I finally realised that all martial arts teachers believe that their system is best, from what I've learned from you, is that this is human nature, and they don't understand the true violence, from what I've derived from my searches over the years is that what you say makes sense to me, thank you for staying true to your cause, and opening our, well some of us, eyes, respect and stay safe.
This is my 50th year in Martial arts and I quietly go about my business of constantly learning and separating the wheat from the chaff. You guys have been in the top two positions of the wheat and is great to see you both together. Looking forward to more of this please.
Thank you for the interview, it is perfect! One single thing I may add: the traditional training is telling you to not attack first - from this the entire theory of training for/to learn how to (self) defend yourself. But in reality, they teach you to not attack first because when you are attacking you are exposed - and from here the entire awareness (situational and spatial) is taught and developed at one point in training. It's the mindset that the Sport eliminated it: you are in a ring / space well known and you must get more points than the other to win.
Coach Tony’s newsletter is how I found out about Bryon’s Symposium in the OC and then discovered you as one of the speakers. At the time, I didn’t get to look up your materials, so I didn’t know what to ask you during Q&A or we crossed paths in the elevator. After the Symposium, I discovered your surviveviolence.com content, then When Violence is the Answer, then the Survival Pack and the rest of the TFT digital courses. Man, I can’t wait to train TFT in person!
Hey Tim, I have almost all of your video series and you do some great work. Tony mentioned doing a seminar with you and I have to say, PLEASE make this a reality! I'd be happy to pay to see the two of you put your knowledge together in a training collaboration. Shut up and take my money!!
Appreciate that so much. As i wrote before below a video it would be nice to see an pod cast with Rory Miller and you. It seems to be heared and you started a pod cast with Tony Blauer. Thank you so much. I looking greatfull and thankfull foward to your podcasts and what we can learn from it. Best wishes from Germany.
“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”- Bruce Lee .I think that is Target Focus.
You can have all training in the world but if we lack the psychology or the will to act then training would be useless. I appreciate your knowledge and program.
I witnessed an actual violence is violence when I was 13. I was at a Yacht Club helping a friends father get his boat ready for the season. A guy with a boat next to him was being aggravated by some guy, the boat owner finally fed up told the guy to f__k off or he will kick his ass, the guy said I know karate, the boat owner cracked him in the head with a wrench and will hitting him said I know wrench. The blow knocked the man out.
I understand you have to deprogram from a system and react to a formless situation. Bruce Lee said: Be like water be formless adjust to a situation at present because it changes continuously. It is unpredictable.
Sometimes taking a fighting stance lowers your chances of winning. Your opponent will take your display as information that you might be a better opponent than he thought and he will adjust his strategy and keep his distance and possibly produces a weapon. You lose the required element of close proximity which is where you want your opponent. And the more exotic your defense stance the worse it can get for you. If the stance is to intimidate, it is worthless. It plays no part in your success to survive.
Here's the interview mentioned in this discussion. Anthony Smith - MMA Fighter Talks About His Home Invasion Fight with Coach Tony Blauer ruclips.net/video/Jcvc4Ge1uV4/видео.html
Tony Blauer is accomplished however i still prefer Tim Larkin's TFT. IMO it's the best there is and besides , Tim's methodology is easier to understand and grasp
Really interesting stuff. What I am getting from this video is an understanding of the difference between self dense skill and self defense art. Art flows from awareness and is rapidly adaptable. Skill flows from repetition and is sluggishly rigid. More, please.
I read 83% of WHEN VIOLENCE IS THE ANSWER. Very good book but not every Self Defense scenario requires Lethal Force eg.: "Soccer Dad VS Soccer Dad", a typical Road Rage incident, "Mall Fight" etc. I prefer CNS SHOCK as UK Self-Protection expert Peter Consterdine teaches unless it is an Extreme Self Defense situation eg.: kidnapping, forced Sodomy, armed assailant, etc. CNS Shock (KO) should be Option A while Lethal Force (GBH or kill techniques) should be Option B. Even in prison "Lethal Force" isn't always the answer as told to me by Convicts and Career Criminals due to penalties from Law Enforcement and Authorities. Otherwise, Tim Larkin wrote a groundbreaking book.
That's the point your missing. He is saying that this is the way you do it when you are devoid of choice and are in imminent danger, i.e the guy wants to freaking kill you. Soccer dad against soccer dad you just walk away, like Tim says in the book. If you won't still feel like it was worth fighting over 3 days from now, it probably wasn't.
@@rickiecowens2410 Some people want to KO you or give you a "good beating" as punishment for a perceived offense. Not every situation requires Lethal Force and not every situation you can safely walk away from. That's reality.
Once you go hands on, someone could die or receive permanent injury regardless of intent. CNS shock is no guarantee of a less than lethal outcome. Granted, a crushed throat is lethal on its own. However an unconscious person who smashes his head into a cement curb as he falls is just as dead. And the guy who did it is just as liable. This is why violence is almost never “ the answer.” If you wouldn’t be justified in shooting the guy, you wouldn’t be justified in digging out his eye, kicking his ribs in and breaking his knee either. If a confrontation doesn’t rate this level of destruction, it falls into what Tim calls the monkey politics category. Here we see fights over parking spaces, bar stools, slighted egos, road rage, and so on. These are fights of mutual consent. This means neither party can claim innocence. Therefore neither party can claim self defense. Things go down hill from there once the courts get involved. Best to back out of these situations before the fight starts.
That because here in UK criminals have the legal system and an army of self hating prosecutors on their side backed by PC thought police and some some extremists facilitated by a self serving hateful political elite
@@georgeafutujr.9369 exactly what I and Tim are saying once again. Listen too what I am saying. This is when you have no other choice. When you are up against an aggressor that wants to put you in the hospital or the ground. The soccer dad you can walk away from unless you let your ego get in the way. If by chance you got that one guy who no matter how much you try to apologize still wants to fight, use a preeminent strike and knock him out. If it is a criminal trying to rob you and you don't know what he might do once you give it to him,you use Tim's TFT.
The more you train in mma/bjj/cultural arts/asian folklore , the worst you will perform under a real attack. For more realistic training weaponize you natural flinch reaction, train few technics to near reflex through operand conditioning training methods,and practice drills that minimize the freeze reaction. Also, If your ego can handle it and you want to improve coordination and agility ,solo ballet exercises are very good for that ( in case you did not know ballet originated from sword fighting). As a side note,most injuries in mma/bjj are self inflicted , broken hands from punching , broken lower legs and feet from kicking,groin muscle tears from tight guard, rotator cuff damage from attempted throws , if you are more likely to injure yourself than the opponent there is some thing terribly wrong with that activity.
Yeah....we used to talk about the Spear system’s Hi-Gear on the Self-Defense Training System forum a few years ago. My contention then was and still is....”Leverage”. You put a helmet on and it’s extra leverage. They Bill the Hi-Gear as an all out hard as you can go, not get hurt system, and that helmet adds extra leverage. All it’s going to take is one time somebody gets a good chin jab and it’s training over for that guy for life. A chin jab is potentially lethal, it’s designed to be a lethal strike, and your going to say, “ Go all out guys! You can’t get hurt!”, and......🤷♂️😬. I don’t like Tony for that reason.
train with full force and no one goes to the hospital , it will not work in real life. you are very correct on the chin jab, we train that even in case the assailant is wearing a motorcycle helmet ,he will get decommissioned.
