Tim Larkin

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. Today we have another 4 part interview with a subject matter expert, Marc "The Animal" MacYoung. Mr. MacYoung grew up on the streets of Los Angeles in the 70s. Experiencing situational poverty, he was thrust into violence at a young age. As an adult, Mr. MacYoung turned into an author and legal advocate for those who use self-defense to survive. His books are were some of the first introductions I had to information on self-defense.

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. Today we have an interview with Rory Miller. He is the author of "Meditations on Violence". If my friends and family were only going to read one book, this is it. Mr. Miller is a no-nonsense guy, an amazing writer, and former corrections hand officer. Here is a two-hour interview in four parts. If you haven't seen the first part, I highly recommend you check that out first. The link is below. In the first part I laid out some background, and in this part, we talk about self-defense instructors. The difference between LEO, Military, Civilian, and Women.

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. One of the most popular questions I get is about using BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) for self-defense. This is a four-part series on the subject.

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. Today I'm going to be responding to the overwhelming amount of requests I've had about a lot of the excuses for not training. It's usually something like this, "Tim I'm 100lbs overweight", "Hey Tim, I've got a bad knee", or "Hey Tim, I'm a real small woman". Whatever limitation you think you have, it doesn't give you a pass.

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. So what if you had a chance to talk to a former leader of a notorious, incredibly powerful, prison gang? That literally took over and ran multiple prisons through the effective use and threat of violence? Do you think we could possibly learn something? You will be the judge today because we're going to have that conversation today. I first found out about Mike Thompson from an article in the New Yorker, and I was able to interview him. Here is Part 1 of 2 of the interview. I want to be clear, this is not to glorify prisons, the Aryan Brotherhood, or anything like that. This will take us to some uncomfortable places, but some of the best information for self-protection can come from the worst parts of society. Part 2: Coming Soon!

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. In one of my recent videos, "How To Win A Bar Fight Guaranteed", I spoke about providing a link to a video about the last time I chose violence. I found the video and I'm now uploading it to my channel here for you. I'll provide the link back in the other video too. Am I immune to using violence for the wrong reasons? No. I want to share with you the last time I did choose violence in a social aggression situation. It was completely and totally avoidable, and it was a real lesson for me. I had choice, didn't use it, and I almost paid the price. 00:00 Introduction 01:35 The Last Time I Chose Violence 02:50 I Jumped Into A Fatal Funnel 04:00 Please Don't Hit Daddy 05:19 I'm Not Immune To The Temptations To Use Violence 07:32 In Closing & Please Subscribe For better ways to protect yourself and your family go to: https://surviveviolence.com/?utm_source=youtube For more information on the courses we mentioned visit: https://targetfocustraining.com/self-defense-training/ Social Media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timlarkintft/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TargetFocusTraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/thl1164 Target Focus Training - Tim Larkin - Awareness - Self Protection - Self Defense - Martial Arts

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. This Part Two of covering one of my favorite subjects, the gamification of violence. Today we talk about Tim Ferriss, creator of the 4-Hour Workweek. We're going to talk about a competition in 1999 in China, where he became the grand champion. There were many things Tim Ferriss did strategically to help win the fight, and that was by reading the rules and gaming them. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Competition In China (1999) 03:00 Video Of The Competition 03:38 Why Play The Game When You Can Beat The Game? 06:35 In Closing & Please Subscribe For better ways to protect yourself and your family go to: https://surviveviolence.com/?utm_source=youtube For more information on the courses we mentioned visit: https://targetfocustraining.com/self-defense-training/ Social Media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timlarkintft/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TargetFocusTraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/thl1164 Target Focus Training - Tim Larkin - Awareness - Self Protection - Self Defense - Martial Arts - Tim Ferriss - Gamifying Violence

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. I'm going to take the opportunity here to talk about one of my favorite subjects, the gamification of violence. I got a lot of questions about a fight that recently happened here in Las Vegas, Jake Paul vs Ben Askren. Here is my take from the fight, and I explore the gamification of it. You may be thinking what does this have to with Self Protection? Violence doesn't have any parameters that can be gamed, and set techniques can put you behind the curve. I'll explain further in the video. 00:00 Introduction 02:09 The Knockout 03:01 My Commentary 06:55 Violence Can't Be Gamified 08:50 In Closing & Please Subscribe For better ways to protect yourself and your family go to: https://surviveviolence.com/?utm_source=youtube For more information on the courses we mentioned visit: https://targetfocustraining.com/self-defense-training/ Social Media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timlarkintft/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TargetFocusTraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/thl1164 Target Focus Training - Tim Larkin - Awareness - Self Protection - Self Defense - Martial Arts - Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren

Violence - The 4 Horsemen Of Response - Target Focus Training - Tim Larkin - Awareness - Self Protection - Self Defense - Martial Arts Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. Today we discuss the 4 Horsemen of Response; Fight, Flight, Capitulation, & Posturing. The concept, modified by me, is originally from Dave Grossman. He is a fantastic writer in the industry and author of the book "On Killing". I've covered Fight & Flight quite a bit already in this channel. All of the techniques you all love are Fight. Breaking a knee, or taking out an eye is Fight. Flight I've said 10,000 times is your best choice, which simply means walking away when you have a choice. Fight is when are devoid of choice, and it's your only option. Today I add Capitulation and Posturing. 00:00 Introduction 02:26 Fight 03:14 Flight 04:16 Capitulation (Submission) 07:28 Posturing 14:36 In Closing & Please Subscribe For better ways to protect yourself and your family go to: https://surviveviolence.com/?utm_source=youtube For more information on the courses we mentioned visit: https://targetfocustraining.com/self-defense-training/ Social Media Instagram https://www.instagram.com/timlarkintft/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TargetFocusTraining Youtube https://www.youtube.com/user/thl1164
