Show notes

Is violence ever the answer? When it comes to self-defense and self-protection, sometimes violence is the only answer. Tim Larkin explains why and how violence is neither good nor bad — it’s all about how it’s used.

Tim is the author of When Violence is the Answer and the owner of Machine Gun Las Vegas. He also trains people from all walks of life in self-defense. He got into martial arts at a young age and subsequently started Navy SEALS training. After an injury affected his ability to train, he started focusing his energy on hand-to-hand combat, and later, teaching self-defense and self-protection.
