Tim Larkin thinks that it's important you know how to kill someone with your bare hands.
After years of military experience, Larkin dedicated himself to teaching Target-Focus Training, a system of self-defense. Lately, however, Larkin and his mission -- which is to enable trainees to react effectively to life-or-death situation or what he calls an "asocial" attack -- have come under fire. An upcoming seminar in Slough, England, has been met with a great deal of controversy from the community. The town's former mayor, David MacIsaac, even told a local paper that Larkin was "not welcome" in Slough.
Listening to Larkin discuss his methodology is oddly hypnotizing. He's a persuasive pitchman, a sort of Billy Mays for violence, though he insists he's essentially a pacifist. Larkin counters his critics in Slough by citing that England has yet to face up to its problem of violence, citing a 17 percent increase in knife crimes. "You can say I'm extreme, that's fine," he says. "[But] I wouldn't be asked to go into a lot of big corporations and teach their international business people how to protect themselves if I was this crazed lunatic that was going around telling people how to kill."
Read on to find out more about how Larkin's system works, why violence is sort of boring, and how easy it could be to accidentally kill your buddy over a Playstation dispute.
