Got an add thru GB about a self-defense program called TFT Survival Pack that supposedly teaches self defense using hands etc. apparently. Just wondered if anyone tried it or has any opinions. Tried to do a little google, but not much help. Sounds better than sliced bread, but what doesn't these days.
There's a movement (or maybe a rumble) that in order to adequately protect yourself you need to adopt the same level of aggression as your attacker. Mostly out of a fear of an excessive use of force charge. So if your attacker punches you, you should have studied Krav Maga for 6 years prior. If they pull a knife, you better have Arnis Escrima on your resume.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for physical fitness and some self-defense training. I did all of that in my late teens early 20's. I now have a black belt in .45.
I got the same email about 3 weeks ago and decided to give it a try. It's a worst case scenario, using violence to defend your life. Tim Larkin makes a good case for it, similar to using your gun to protect yourself or loved ones as a last resort. I am not sorry that I purchased it, and did recommend it to a friend.
It's definitely not for everyone.
