Discover the amazing system taught to the US Military, Law Enforcement, and thousands of private individuals who don’t have time for traditional martial arts. The Human Weapon Project, over 3 distinct courses represents the exact same 60 hours of training that takes a person from knowing little about injuring somebody to combat-ready with or without weapons.

The time to learn these life-saving skills is now! Events are available now:

HWP2

September 20-21, 2025

HWP3

October 18-19, 2025

Called "The Ultimate Concealed Carry" because once the fundamentals of human injury are learned, they can not be taken from you. Even if you don't posess a weapon, like a firearm or a knife, you still have the foundational skills to completely dismantle or eliminate threats to you or your loved ones with nothing more than your brain and your body.

Consider HPW3 the "Finishing School" to complete the Human Weapon Project curriculum. An arsenal is a "cache of weapons" and that is what you will amass in your knowlege bank. New strikes, throws, and advanced joint breaking are covered in this two day course. Assemby (which you already know) is taken to a new level with deeper learning in the art.

Once you have the foundational knowledge from HWP1, its time to learn how to apply those techniques against multiple armed attackers. Then, you are instructed in the use of force-multiplying tools such as firearms, knives, and clubs that increase your personal lethality in a self-defense or third-party protective situation, such as defense of your family or organization

Testimonials

“I was able to use it because it’s simple.”

“Intense, fast paced, most hands-on and very practical. Instructors prepared us for the brutal reality of real world criminal violence and how to deal with it mentally and physically. As someone who has a significant physical weakness due to injury and surgery I was still able to do TFT and will be able to use it because it is simple.”

Dirk Van Til

“Everything is streamlined with a purpose.”

“I have spent considerable time, money, and effort in the past on various martial arts like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, etc. and after the success of this weekend, I wish all those other “Arts” would give me a refund. Never feel like you waste any time. Everything is streamlined with a purpose and offers a physical learning that “sinks in” even before you have conscious recall of all the targets you were just introduced to.”

“Lethal fighting skills that will save your life.”

“I liked the immediate application of techniques and lectures explaining the science behind CNS [central nervous system] reactions and the anatomy and physiology examples. Allowed me to comprehend everything much better. This training allows you to immediately understand and perform lethal fighting skills that will save your life.”

Franz Snideman
San Diego, CA

“It was one of the best experiences of my life.”

“It was one of the best experiences of my life. The way Tim and the other trainers present the info it is very easy to understand, even with no prior training. I liked the simplicity of the moves and how affective they are with minimal effort.”

Russ Folcka
Murrieta, CA

“Most direct system I’ve ever experienced.”

“Faster pace was good [as was] working on concrete. Really appreciated detail and high interest level of instructors to make students better. Minimizes the frills. Most direct system ever experienced.”

Dan Nattress
Cardiff, CA

“Unlike anything you will get elsewhere.”

“This met and exceeded my expectations. The material was well presented and understandable. Having attended a [competitor’s live training] I had familiarity with some concepts presented; however the presentation at TFT was much clearer. This is not for sport or competition and is unlike anything you will get elsewhere, including [competitor’s].”
