A friend attended a Larkin seminar in New York.
The price was a joke and only a handful of people attended.
Larkin was upset at the low numbers and arrived late and left early each day.
The material he is throwing out is repacked SCARS,with all the rolling and the crap.
Larkin is not a disgrace to NavSpecOps he is a liar,plain and simple.
He lied to get into BUDs,as he had ear problems that required operations before he even entered the navy.
This condition ,he knew,would not allow him to pass the dive phase but he lied on his medical and took a spot someone else could have used.
Larkin did not get injured in training,which would have allowed him to return and redo BUDs,he was medically put out of BUDs.
Larkin was not rewarded for having been a Great performer in BUDs,as all men who attempts BUDs are in the top 10 percent of the Navy,he was dropped like the majority who try.
Larkin hooked a Job in Administration.
His new BIO says he was put in charge of SEALS,LIES,the SEALS do not allow outsiders to tag along and have influence in their training and missions.
(He was a FAILED operator)
Larkins admin position is what got him the in with Peterson,who told Larkin he would make Larkin an instructor if Larkin could get SCARS a foot in the door at NAV SPEC WARFARE.
Larkin spoke on Petersons behalf and got him to demo his stuff,as many other martial artists have done,this meeting allowed to Peterson to pay and or offer Instructorship in his SCARS.
The SEAL operators who were shown it said it was useless.
To get what was promised those in charge of training allowed SCARS to be done in A BUDS class,it was dropped right after.
It filled the DEAL requirements,money and instructorship were paid and Peterson began running his ads which caused the Navy to take exception, as they did with Vunaks claims.
The Militaries allow many Instructors to come in and demo their stuff,this keeps the troops aware of what is being shown ,taught and sold in the world.
Again Special Operations, through all the branches, have and work minimum time in H2H,this is a weapon of LAST resort.
Most training in H2H is done in Phase one training,any training in H2H after an operator is qualified is at his choosing on or off base or during their PT sessions if a team member has some knowledge,(some men are picked to attend varied training to get input on its validity and its usefulness)
What makes claims so rampant?
What constitutes actual training?
I know a guy who wrote a book in which he says he trained Special Forces troops.
When I spoke to him he said,"I had a martial arts school outside of Bragg and some Special Forces guys used to come and train".
Does that make his claim legit?
Should he be able to reconfigure the truth to make himself more marketable?
People read these claims and take it as fact and follow these liars.
Drop the claims,market the stuff and if it is good you will get a following,as Hock and many good guys have.
Use gimmicks, charge big money and show crap and you get no repeat business.(maybe this is why the sky high prices because the product stinks and repeat business does not occur)
