002 – Tim Larkin: Preparing for the Worst-Case Violence

In this episode of Survival Dad, Buck chats with Tim Larkin, founder of Target Focus Training and developer of a hand-to-hand combat training system used by the US Navy Seals. Tim tells us about the drawbacks of using traditional martial arts instruction for real-world self-defense scenarios, and how his principle-based self-defense system helps you respond to any threat, regardless of its nature and location.


In this no-holds-barred interview, Tim introduces you to how you can use fear to your advantage when facing threats much larger than yourself. You will also learn to distinguish between asocial and antisocial violence, and discover what Tim means when he says that sometimes violence is the only answer.
