What do your sparring technique and being attacked by a vicious dog have in common? Most martial artists will say â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing.â&#x20AC;? But the answer is TIME. Thinking faster can make TIME seem to move in slow motion. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blocking a roundhouse kick in a point tournament or surviving an attack by a vicious dog, the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think Fastâ&#x20AC;? takes on a whole new meaning. If you have ever experienced time moving in slow motion, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand how extremely powerful time control is when applied to any form of combat. Can you imagine being able to control time as easily as pressing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;slowâ&#x20AC;? button on your DVD player? Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a time control training method that can give you an edge in any combat situation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport or life and death!

The Time Control Sports (TCS) Combat System I love animals, but when an 80 pound dog took my one-year-old nephewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blanket away I immediately put myself between the two. I found myself confronted by a swirling mass of teeth and drool (the dog, not the one-year-old). TCS Combat Mode allowed me to protect my nephew! The same method I used to win countless trophies and medals has proven to be the most important self-defense technique imaginable. For over 20 years I have kept this a closely guarded secret â&#x20AC;Ś until now. w To learn more about the TCS Combat System go to:
