Target focus training

[Rich67]

Anyone ever heard of this "system"?

 

http://www.tftgroup.com/

 

I heard that he teaches a form of combat based very loosely on Kung Fu San Soo idealisms dealing with striking for causing maximum damage, etc. I came across his corny but interesting ad in Grappling magazine. Although the ad itself seemed kind of corny, he poses a good question right off the bat:

 

"Picture this...two people, locked in mortal combat. One choking the other...what would you do?" He then points out that most people would say, "kick him in the shin...step on his foot...knock his hands away". He then shows that many people don't ever envision themselves as the one DOING the choking, which is what the mentality should be. I found it to be true when I studied San Soo, in fact, we were taught to be very aggressive (on the offense) before we were told to be defensive. If anyone has ever heard of this guy, of heard of or studied TFT, I'd like to hear yor feedback or opinions. Thanks!

Yeah, go to a weekend seminar and become changed forever.

 

I looked at the website, and at the customer comments. At $2000 per person for 13 hours of instruction, this is a program for white collar executives with insufficient time to practice regularly. It's a sham, as far as i'm concerned, and a very profitable one at that.

 

Matt Furey is the only name i recognized in the list of 'clueless' executives spouting how good the program is. And... Matt Furey is a well known 'snake-oil' salesman. A little research, and i found out they're networking with each other... handing their 'suckers' back and forth.

 

To cut why it's a sham.... 2 days of training cannot possibly bring what you've learned into a muscle memory state. It's all in the head. A false confidence that all you need to is become aggressive, and you can win a confrontation. Well, for the sheep of this nation, that may very well be the ticket... but sheep do not convert into wolves... in a matter of days. It takes years of diligent study, not hours of lectures from some 30 year old blonde surfer dude.

 

Steer clear.

I looked at the site a little more in depth once I got home. The cost for this is INSANE!!!! And I agree with you 100%- this looks like a scam. I was curious if anyone had any background on this guy and whether or not any of his bio holds any water. Just curious... but I agree this looks shady at best!

I remember in college a guy would go to every sorority and talk about rape statistics and such. He would then offer to teach a day long self defense course for 150 bucks and would sell them a 5 dollar can of Pepper spray for 30 bucks.

 

Maybe he was doing a public service

The sad thing is, I bet people are actually paying for this nonsense...then walking away thinking they are born-again killers.

[47MartialMan]

Yes,

 

And then they get intp trouble. I have a couple of instances to tell of this very thing.

[Rick]

""""It doesn't matter where you operate... in the world of martial arts, combat sports, hand-to-hand combat, mixed martial arts competitions, even "street fighting" as you know it -- whether in the martial arts media, dojos, MMA training centers or boxing gyms around the world... because your knowledge is incorrect... you are WEAK.

 

Sorry... it's the truth. Doesn't matter if you can bench press 325 pounds or you look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's STRENGTH not POWER.

 

And strength is just a part of the power equation.

 

You may be strong. You may be a highly conditioned combat athlete with many titles to your credit. You may have multiple Black Belts in several martial arts and ranked high in your competitions. You may even be a military or law enforcement special operations unit member highly trained and combat tested. No one may question your strength. Unfortunately that physical strength... is built on a weak foundation... and it's of little help to you in a true threat."""""

 

hahahahaha!!! this dude is a moron... i love it! i'm gonna read it again and again, then i'm gonna send it to all of my friends. This is comedy at its absolute best!

Heh, not only is he cheating people out of money, he is gonna get those people killed when they get angry and act violently towards "those three gangbangers approaching them while they strap their kid in their car"...

 

Still, it's comedy gold.
