1. From Greg in Key Biscayne, FL: I really enjoy your
newsletters but I am trying to figure out what makes
your Target-Focus Training different from any good
martial art or combat sport?

A: Focus is probably the main difference. I have made
the decision to only teach a fighting SYSTEM
specifically designed for when your life is on the
line. Much of the physical training includes strikes,
leverages, kicks, and throws that other arts or sports
teach.

TFT has specifically been designed around 2 "high
concept" principles that are supported by the 3
methodologies of strikes (punches, kicks etc...),
leverages (throws, joint locks) and physical dynamics
(maximizing the damage of the first 2 methodologies).

Most martial arts or combat sports focus only on the
physical end of training and rarely train for life or
death application. TFT teaches only in the environment
of your life being at risk. Anything less is a game.

2. From Josh in Butte, MT: Whom did you learn from and
how has that shaped your Target-Focus Training?

A: I've had a number of great instructors over the
years from the martial art and combat sport world as
well as the down and dirty approach from some of the
great military hand-to-hand close combat instructors.

My exposure to this wealth of knowledge is unique and
I've attempted to create a system of fighting that
clearly defines all the key principles that are
constant in good fighting systems.

I don't feel I've created anything new with TFT but
I've definitely created a different way to quickly and
effectively learn how to defeat a violent physical
attack that risks your life. How I present the
information is what makes TFT so effective.

You rapidly absorb the physical and mental aspects of
fighting for your life in a way many of my clients
with extensive M/A or C/S training have told me is
very unique and effective. My only goal is to have you
focus on what is really important:

***DESTROYING YOUR ENEMY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY***

If I sound like a broken record, so be it. In my mind
there is no other purpose when fighting.

3. Gunner from Cape Town, South Africa writes: Are you
ever going to offer online virtual training in TFT?

My staff tells me we get a ton of people asking this
question. I know we have a great deal of international
clients and readers of this newsletter and that live
training for many is not an option.

I currently run 3 online programs for various clients
(corporate, government) to provide online training and
my staff wants to open it up to include our video and
newsletter clients.

It's a hell of a lot of work to do it right with the
live feeds and the online training forums but it is
very rewarding to provide training of our caliber at
TFT to those of you who otherwise could not train with
us.

So tell you what I'll do - I'll meet you all half way.
If you are truly interested in becoming an online
training client -- that gives you direct access to my
instructor staff and me -- then email us right now at:
mailto:tftonline@targetfocustraining.com and let us know you'd
like an application.

If I decide to offer it, I'll review all applications
personally and choose the best candidates for the
program. To assure the right mix, I'm very picky when
creating a training group. So just because you fill
out an application doesn't mean you're in or that I'll
even do the program for sure. But while the rest of this
year is very full, I'll see if we can't at least get a
pilot group started.

Until next time,
