Hey Everybody! I get tons of videos of other instructors showing some sort of technique or some sort of application toward street fighting, and then what is my opinion on them. Again, I’m very consistent about the difference between a fight and violence. They’re very different things and you have the train for them differently. I’m going to show a popular video that is going around, and then another video with probably one of the more infamous people at the moment. You know me, some of the best information comes from the worst people. So I’m going to walk you through the videos and break them down for you. I hope you take away from this the need to look at alternatives to protect yourself in a violent situation on the street. Actual violence too, and not two men’s egos dancing around each other.

The #1 Self Defense Move You MUST Know

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. Today we discuss the #1 self-defense move that you should know. What is really important when it comes to self-defense? I've posted some moves on my channel, but those moves are not the most important things to know. If you don't know what I'm about to tell you, those other moves are pointless.

Nobody Gets A Pass

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. We're going to discuss that today.

Banned In The UK

Hey Everybody! Tim Larkin here. You've been asking why I've been banned from the UK. So today I will tell you my side of the story. I had been going over to the UK for 20 years up till 2011. In 2011 I was taking courses at the London School of Economics, and for years I had been involved in training with the military and civilians. I had no problems until the riots in 2011.
