Tim Larkin: How to Defend Yourself Against an Attacker Using Target Focus Training

For Tim Larkin, the name of the game in Target Focus Training is recognizing opportunity and turning it into an injury.

“An injury, as we define it,” Larkin says, “is breaking something on the human body — either a sensory system or a structure — so that part of the body no longer functions during the time you’re involved with that person.”

In other words, Tim Larkin wants you to learn how to hurt “them” so they can’t hurt you anymore. He wants you to “put [them] into a nonfunctional state.”

“[‘Nonfunctional’ means an attacker] is injured to the point where you can turn your back on him and he’s no longer a threat, or he’s unconscious or dead,” Tim Larkin explains. “Only then can you disengage. If he’s not in one of those states and you turn to get away and he pulls a gun — maybe you thought he just had a knife — you’re dead. Making sure he’s in a nonfunctional state is the only way to guarantee your safety.”
