Matt Furey:

Matt is the unquestioned king of body-weight combat conditioning... exactly what you need to master TFT. His is a self-proclaimed "NO B.S. Kick Butt - Take Names" style. Don't be mislead into thinking it's just about wrestling either. Take a look at his products page and you'll find a long list of books and videos, many that directly apply to combat training. Great stuff.

By the way... Matt was a June 2003 graduate of the TFT Live Training workshop in Dallas, TX! Why is this significant? Just this -- Matt NEVER attends someone else's physical training class; hasn't in many, many years. But he attended the TFT training... to learn this material. If someone with Matt's skill level thinks it's important enough to check out, shouldn't you? Click here for availability of the next class.

Dragon Door Publications:

All around, one of the best sites on the web for enhancing strength and conditioning (especially Pavel Tsatsouline, see below) using innovative, cutting edge techniques and technology. Dragon Door owner/publisher John Du Cane is a 2001 graduate of the TFT Live Training workshop in New York City.


Pavel Tsatsouline:

Pavel excels at strength and combat strength and agility. Utilizing all the resources he employed to teach Russian Spetnaz agents, he’s the author of many published books and videotapes and was frequently interviewed on TV during the Afghanistan conflict. His kettlebell training is the subject of much national attention.

Pavel attended the entire TFT 2 1/2-day Live Training workshop in October 2002 in Las Vegas. Here's what he said about his experience:

“I highly recommend Tim Larkin's course to military and law enforcement personnel and civilians alike. Very realistic and to the point training. One of the things that surprised me was how Tim succeeded to get people with no martial arts background to get their strikes' timing and range right within hours. As you know, in most martial arts schools students cannot get it right even after a couple of years.”
