Hey Everybody!
Tim Larkin here. Today we continue with the 2nd part of our interview with Geoff Thompson. He has seen extreme circumstances, dealing with multiple attackers, and has lived with extreme violence. He is now a very prolific writer on self-defense and needs no introduction in the world of self-defense. I hope you find it as useful as I have. If you haven't seen Part 1, please use the link below and watch it first.
In Part 2 we speak about his experience as a bouncer in the nightclubs of the UK and the psychological impact.

I have the upmost respect for Geoff, not only as a martial artist or for being a real pioneer of what we call now "reality based self protection", but for his ability to overcome his inner demons and serve as a beacon for us who are still fighting against our own demons.

[@mlklotusmann6749]

This guy is amazing. Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future.

Geoff Thompson: Fighter and Philosopher-The Original andThe Best.

[@susanwylie4460]

Amazing and perfect. I forwarded to my son in law who is trying to get rid of the parasites monsters and change his life. Grow free from the violence of his past and the chaos he is in. This will help in finding peace, understanding his power. Thank you!!

[@philipharman974]

Geoff is as inspiring now as he ever was. He still has so much to teach us.

[@grahamrutherford3080]

Tim this is mesmerising stuff from Jeff, could listen to him forever. I had heard of him as I am British, but after watching I think he is 1 of the wisest people I've ever heard

[@johnchipmanseishinaikido1531]

I could listen to this man for hours. What a martial scholar and intuitive man.

[@torstenscott7571]

It would seem that the more one is experienced in violence or violent environments, the more one is forced to confront the philosophical, spiritual, and psychological ramifications associated with the root causes and consequences of violence. A very interesting video that addresses such an often overlooked aspect of violent behavior.

[@nealb1a]

What an amazingly thoughtful man. Tim, thanks so much for making this available to us.

[@kevinaldridge]

Geoff is such a great spiritual teacher. Just awesome! 💚

[@oldlifter530]

I used to read all I could by Jeff then lost him so thank you for bringing this to us.

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Life long learning.

[@joanngrainger4650]

Very inspiring and healing. Thank you Geoff and Tim.

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

Nicely done! Thank you for bringing such wonderful people on your program. Keep up the good work, god bless!

[@billthebax5578]

Thank you, I’m going through a ruff time of my own doing from past sin in my life. Just to know there is hope.

[@frankberry6220]

Zen and the Art of Flattening Drunks.

[@torstenscott7571]

If that were to ever be a published book, I would buy it just for the title alone.

[@frankberry6220]

@@torstenscott7571 Me too.

[@baldieman64]

Geoff, along with people like Gary Spiers and Steve Morris were true pioneers who realised that there was something wrong with the mindset of martial arts. They weren't the first to understand the value of a simple skill set, pre-emption and understanding the sequence of events that precede violence, but they were among the first to expose the general public to these ideas, rather than security personnel, the military and the police.

[@seankelly4509]

[@thomasturner4253]

Thanks for having a solid teacher on I LOVE what he teaches

[@independentrealist6817]

These two warriors are awesome to hear I've learned so much.

[@MarkBennett007]

Love this wisdom that he has gravitated to……… through great pain I can relate

[@apelsin19]

This reminds me of the old Aikido footage you se with ueshiba. At that stage he wasn't teaching other's self-defense he had set up his structure to elevate his own spiritual schooling.

[@apgwilym]

He is so right about going to the ground , go to the ground in a melee is the end. If I went to the floor with an assailant I was sure as hell the first one to get up.

[@628steves]

Learning a lot. Thank you.

[@iloveyoumomaandauto2897]

Tim Larkin your videos have saved me from myself I only fear myself thank you again

[@johnfontana510]

Wow. This is deep, real deep, and very useful.

[@TorquilBletchleySmythe]

Thank you for posting this. I often thought I was the kiss of death for places, old haunts, old jobs and people I used to know. When I consider that much of my life has been a questioning phase, this video makes a lot of sense.

[@simonm8171]

Incredible. Thank you.

[@scottysingh5205]

Thank you tim for this interview

[@richardmaresco5227]

That was awesome!

[@billuk1413]

Both of you brilliant as ever!

[@ShukokaiStu]

Brilliant!

[@User-cc6cq]

This is gold!

[@brandonm3375]

This dude is phenomenal. He describes a very similar evolution that I've gone through. Hits very close to home. Wish I could spend a few hours with him discussing personal evolution, Blake, Neville, Tolle, and others. Solid interview AGAIN Tim! Thank you so much for your time, knowledge, and wisdom in picking the best motherfuckers out there to extract wisdom and learning from!

The 3 second fight, the pavement arena 🙏

[@richardluntz6169]

Makes great sense .

[@adonikam1]

How I never new of this great man is

[@donwalker3683]

Excellent….

[@JohnEJay-wh2th]

What an incredible person! Wow!

[@bobbydabutcha]

If learning how to grapple proves anything in a real fight, it teaches you how to get back up out of the worst positions and back to your feet.

[@djeq721]

Also keeps you on your feet, you develop a very stable base and takedown defence.

[@gipsystrengthmedia9022]

I so relate to all of this

[@stevepotts6113]

Just ordered Geoff's latest 2 books and look forward to reading them! Any suggestions on where to learn more about Kototama for spiritual development?

[@lucasgrey9794]

I don't know how to articulate it but I understand. I understand him and what he's saying.

[@jackspratt4343]

I met Chuck Norris once, in England in 1982. In his honour I named my two black staffies, Walker & Texas Ranger.

[@clintfisher5826]

Never heard this information before. Want to learn more.

[@robertramsey8871]

After having spent the last several weeks considering and studying hermitism and primitive esotericism, this man knows what he's talking about. He's moving me with the deepness of his words. When I heard the guy wrote 50 books, one thought came to my head which is that someone who writes 50 books is either doing it for money and is full of shit or has an extradimensional passion in them and an overflowing cup in the soul. This man is the latter. I suspect he could write 50 more books if he had the energy and the time.

[@MichaelGutierrezViolin]

Truth!

[@adonikam1]

Mind boggling to me!

[@gregoryalbertini153]

JEFF IS A TRUE SPIRITUAL WORRIOR !

That right there is definitely some heavy shit!

Forwarded to my 200+ pound thirteen year old daughter full of false evidence appearing real; and frustrated with the inability to control others that upset her peace.

[@Starborne398]

The consequence of repeated head trauma...

[@blacklit9882]

Why the constant use of the middle finger mudra?? :D

[@TPSTraining]

The left photo in the intro is NOT geoff thompson. Or have i missed something?

[@rigohook1160]

No Jack, it is'nt. I thought i was the only one i saw this. It's another british Martial artist, Kevin i forgot his name, another bouncer and though man as well. I give you the name when i remember.

[@rigohook1160]

Jamie O'Keave it is, or O'Keafe

👍👍👍👍

[@markobrien690]

First time I heard the Gracie bullshit about every fight going to the ground I laughed. For the exact same reasons this guy says. Fuck that.

[@terry_willis]

Saw this video by accident. Never heard of Geoff Thompson. He looks like an accountant. Maybe that's just his trick. Looks can be deceiving.

[@rodvan-zeller6360]

Middle finger Mudra wards of threats , not meant to be offensive to viewers.

[@rodgerhempfing2921]

I think he is scary.

[@waitwhat....2473]

This guy looks like the training dummy across america in every gym.

[@maxclaire732]

You wouldn't want to face Geoff in his prime or even today.

[@boshirahmed]

@@maxclaire732 Geoff today would ignore it and offer to buy him a cup of tea.

[@maxclaire732]

@@boshirahmed You're probably right he would do that, but something about Geoff's demeanor should tell you not to mess or test this guy. i remember back in the days Geoff was fighting some guy who he couldn't knock out, the fight went on for so long that onlookers bought fish & chips and came back to watch the brutal fight, i think Geoff bit him in the end and they became friends.

[@user-bx4vo2jc9r]

I've never been in serious violence throughout my life but I really understand what's Mr.Thompson talking about. But for me, the world is more like purgatory rather than the hell. I grew up in relatively happy home environment so I really don't know what went wrong with my life. The philosophy of Geoff Thompson remind me Joseph Campbell's narrative theory. I suspect such experience are common symptoms for the people living in modern society but I think nobody can teach me how to get out of there because we're all living in a different world...Just saying. But I always wanted to know this process happens to everybody or only somebody who had a depression when they were young.

[@lukemagro6060]

Sorry Tim, I tried really hard but this bloke is a raving nutter. This is not self defence help for me. Keep up the great work mate but this is a weird tangent.

[@PROT3CTPROJECT]

@Luke Magro sorry you took it that way. There is a lot of great info in this multipart interview about multiple attackers , going to the ground, weapons etc… Geoff is a true subject matter expert. His life has been about his relationship to violence and I’m sure some of the books and subjects he mentions seem to be unrelated but I assure you they are very relevant. But I understand if you didn’t feel it was straightforward info like some of my other guests. Appreciate you following the channel.
