You have had many great subject matter experts, all provided very valuable information. Just one opinion but, so far, the information provided by yours and Tom's back and forth is the best of the best.
Hi Tim, first i would like to say that i think your channel is great, you are doing an exellent job, bringing up different subjects! I am very lucky to have had the chance to meet Tuhon Tom, several times, at seminars and workshops, and he is one of my favorite instructors in Sayoc, ive been training in Sayoc since around 2005, and have travelled from Sweden to the UK, and the USA, to train, great to see him on your channel, thanks!
Force, space, and time. I like how he used Chess as a part of his explanation regarding timeless principles surrounding conflict. I run a Chess club at the school that I work for and I'll have to use his explanation for the kids. It actually helped me understand better as to why I'm a good Chess player. This attempt to demystify and simplify conflict is refreshing in a world where many try to remain secretive by needlessly complicating the subject matter. All the more reason I appreciate this channel and the interviews with authentic instructors.
Speakers such as Tom and Tim, are a welcome sight. What they teach is by no means a new concept because this is what has won wars of any scale throughout history. I enjoy what this channel has to offer. Something refreshing other than to see an instructor teaching you physical techniques that may only work in a sterile environment with the mindset of being "fair". The philosophy of combat is far more important than the combat. I am thrilled to re-learn something that was taught to me many years ago as a young LEO. Skills that were gradually lost due to constant changing policies that gave the bad guy the upper hand. We learned not to win all in the name of making people in offices look good. It started with "word games" such as removing the words, "Pain Compliance" from the Use Of Force Policy Manual. A technique had to be called something cute and non offensive and anything other than what it truly was; nothing but a simple and effective distraction tool that was far more effective than any spray out there. Crooks went to jail happy as much as the officers went home unhurt. Then they took away the tools and created what we have today. But most dangerously, they took away the mindset to survive. God Bless You Both!
I have some limited experience in Sayoc Kali training but I absolute love this stuff and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Tuhon Kier. Brilliant tactician and analyst of combat
I have to say; Since I stumbled across the first video by Mr. Larkin, i subscribed right away. I read a title like How to “Win a bar fight.” And the majority of video is him speaking on the Real Life impact and potential consequences that are actual when engaging in any physical confrontation. I’ve been in quite a few, since I was a little fella. I’ve lost many-a fights, gotten lucky, learned a lot. Dealing with people and knowing how to control the atmosphere in my environment has (quite possibly) saved many people’s freedom and lives. Force, Space, and Time. I love this. Thanks again gentlemen. You are much appreciated. Be safe.
It seems in my limited experience, the more capable I become, the more publicly polite I become. I think it's partially true capability brings confidence, but it's also removing your self doubt and insecurity which frees up your emotional energy to be used to help rather than hurt others. I notice much of what Mr. Kier shares regarding his views on situations reflects realizations I've only really understood with age and life experiences. One thing I recently faced is that my prep only improves my odds of success, it's no guarantee. Facing the reality of losing despite doing all i thought I could to maximize my odds of winning is something I'm struggling to comprehend and accept.
Tim, more than 90% of the crimes reported within 5 km of any neighborhood in Toronto are assaults. Could you interview a police officer about the different kinds of assaults and what typically happens from a legal and procedure point of view when he or she arrives during or after a reported assault? I remember that you mentioned in one of your videos that your wife is a chief of police. Perhaps you could interview her.
Thank you so much for all the information that you have been sharing about the mental component of working in violence. This has been amazing info on why you want to be able and ready to use violence. I am most impressed with how everyone is talking about how much you want to avoid using or even letting others know what you are capable of. So refreshing from the dribble of so many who want me to give them my hard earned money to show me “ CIA and navy seal techniques to deal with that young punk at the bar” . I would love to ask them when did we start using special forces to deal with bar fights?
Don't go drinking with your friends. A buddy of mine took a dumb drunk argument to something way to serious when he loudly declared he wasn't worried I was armed.
Thank you for keeping it honest . I agree different tactics for different scrimmages will always be evolving and need to be taught to all the people/warriors /protectors involved.
Enjoyed Tom's comments on how much people that teach bad information bother him. I am the same way about industrial and fleet lubricants. Whole bunch of idiots on-line and writing articles about lubrication that know nothing. That doesn't stop them from teaching.
On one hand, I agree completely that if you're dangerous, the burden of avoidance is especially on you. OTOH, our society clearly needs reforms so that jackasses assume at least some of the burden. We need to get fathers back into the home and into their rightful place so that the puerile no longer dominate the public square making it unusable for the rest of us.
Not to change the subject here... but what is that T-shirt Tim is wearing at the end of the video? "Dark Desert" with that very cool trisquel logo? Is that something viewers need know about?
It was supposed to hypnotize you to the Las Vegas mountains drunk at night with your undies to your ankles and big 6'4" Tim coming out of the shadows with his tool of violence. I hope your mind was stronger than that and your 🔥 💦 didn't distort it.
If you get a bunch of people together some of them may be type of people that are Instant A**hole Just Add Alcohol that's one reason I don't go to Bars,Clubs,and some Parties. A Party was the last time I had to use PJ and Tim's Teachings and YES They Work.
Traditional bs ....? Really? My club trains every tool on there body based on traditional karate, judo, the only reason you do what is done is because we use the tradition we have learnt from traditional work that works. No bs . Tell me how you learned ?
If you don’t understand the “traditional bs” concept I’d say you’re very fortunate or very limited. Maybe both. Sounds like you’re fortunate to train somewhere that is more than just traditional bs.

Todd really enjoyed your comments. I’m glad the interview resonated with your experience.
Clear, concise, no fluff. Good stuff

Interesting concepts...
Good talk
9/14/21 Viewing; love it, learned a lot.
Don't go drinking with your friends. A buddy of mine took a dumb drunk argument to something way to serious when he loudly declared he wasn't worried I was armed.
(I was the designated driver suggesting he calm down)
