I’ve subscribed to an e-mail newsletter from Tim Larkin, a former SEAL who’s developed a self-defense system he calls Target Focus Training. Unlike typical self-defense classes and all martial arts instruction, which focus on a wide menu of moves to parry specific attacks, practiced ad nauseam, his teaches a few aggressive, highly-targeted (hence the name) responses to any kind of attack. His emphasis is on avoiding social violence at all cost, but knowing how in a truly life-threatening situation to render any attacker immobile, regardless of your or your attacker’s size, weight, or age. As a new husband and father, I hope at some point to participate in one of his classes when he comes to Dallas. (If it sounds interesting to you, find out more here.)

Anyway, his latest e-mail is a question and answer that involves further explanation of the theory, which wraps with this gem: “It’ll make you a ‘juggernaut of destruction’ regardless of your size, speed, strength or skill.”

Forget video producer, 3D modeler and animator, director, or writer: I want THAT on a business card.

“Hi, Clint. Bruce Thornton. Graphic designer.”
“Nice to meet you, Bruce. Clint Hayes. Juggernaut of destruction.”

Which of course would be followed by one of those faces where they think know what you said, but then realize they’re not so sure. I suppose it might be even more fun to have it in combo with your primary career:

Juggernaut of Destruction

Course in my case, anything I’d put over it would make it sound like a film I’d worked on. Hmmm. Juggernaut of Destruction. . . .
