“My first experience [with TFT] was life changing. In fact a lot of the principles are diametrically opposed to what they teach you in other martial arts…It is very safe, with emphasis on control. I’ve taken 3 or 4 different versions of martial arts and combat training in the military but none of them prepared me for a real time, on the street, someone sticks a gun in your face, grabs you from behind situation — none of them have prepared me for that like this course did.”
