It’s not yet big in Australia, but it’s here. And to some about to discover it, it will undoubtedly be controversial. The Target Focus Training method founded by former US Navy CQC instructor Tim Larkin teaches students how to wield the ‘tool of violence’ to debilitate and destroy the human body. Just like a street-variety sociopath would do — only with the backing of science, and conscience. Following last issue’s report on the recent TFT course in Sydney, Larkin gave Blitz a deeper insight into the system of survival he’s been teaching and refining for more than 20 years.

Deane Lawler arguably has as much experience dealing with violence as anyone working in the security industry today — and much, much more than most people would ever want, or need. In more than 20 years of manning the doors of some pretty brutal pubs and bars, and now running his own security company, Lawler has refined not only his team’s tactics and techniques in dealing physically with the aggressive, the drunk and the criminally minded. He has also mastered the art of ‘fighting without fighting’.

She thus began training with renowned self-defence instructor Mick Nicholls and has since learned from some of the world’s best self-protection experts. Along with her husband, also a veteran martial artist and defensive tactics trainer for law-enforcement, she founded Vigilant Self-Protection Systems, with the aim of making more people better prepared to face the worst.

Dr Rony Kluger is a curious find in the martial arts world. He is both a traditional martial artist, deeply involved in Okinawan karate and kobudo, yet is also among the world’s top instructors of Krav Maga, the no-nonsense self-defence system designed for soldiers and anti-terrorist police. The head of coaching at Israel’s famous Wingate Institute recently visited his affiliates at VT-1 gym in Sydney, and gave Blitz an interesting insight into how he makes these two warrior ways, the traditional and modern, meet so successfully.
