About TFTG:Total Force Training Group began as the direct collaboration of lifelong martial artists with other relevant combatives experience. The core belief of Total Force Training Group's Integrated Combatives System revolves around using the right weapon for the task at hand. Given the myriad of defensive tools one can carry these days, using the right one for the situation and testing your skills with each in an integrated fashion are essential to prevailing on the modern urban battlefield we call everyday life.
Many instructors we've trained with are excellent at teaching one discipline or maybe two. We feel this is unsatisfactory as actual combat can go from using verbal tactics and conflict avoidance all the way up to firearms and back down again and the use of force justified changes constantly. We feel it imperative to be prepared with the right skills and the right tools to use the right tool for the job in any given violent scenario. We don't sugar coat things. We don't play nicely. We understand that speed, surprise, and violence of action are what wins the day. We believe in aggressive tactics and a proactive defensive mindset and proactive actions being taken whenever possible and legal. We feel it our personal responsibility to prepare you for the fight in the best possible way. We are both a mobile training team and conduct limited seminars out of our headquarters site. We also have a totally free section for advice, tips, articles, and rants on our blog, which can be located under the ARTICLES AND TIPS section of this website. If you are interested in training with us, please check our NEWS and TRAINING SCHEDULE section for upcoming seminars. If you do not find anything in your area, CONTACT HEADQUARTERS about hosting a seminar and we will be sure to get back up with you. Hosts train FREE!!! We also have a program for business affiliation and for current instructors to get involved with us and teaching our material through our Adjunct Instructor Program, more information for which is available on our CAREERS page. Please feel free to CONTACT HEADQUARTERS at any time with any questions you may have. |
