Front Strike Self-Defense and Survival was formed by Tom Clarke.
Tom, who has a background as a survival instructor, spent 20-years as a Police Officer working assignments such as Patrol, Field Training Officer, Firearms Instructor, Gang Investigator, Tactical Police Team member, and Major Crimes Investigator, to name a few. The majority of his law enforcement career was spent as a Narcotics Agent working cases at the municipal, state, and federal levels, most of which were conducted while acting in an undercover capacity.
After retiring from law enforcement, Tom started and ran his own training company, TBK Tactical. As the CEO and lead instructor, he provided training in specialized tactical, investigative, and defensive tactics to law enforcement officers and members of the United States military across the country, as well as from Canada. In addition to law enforcement, he also provided training and certifications to private security officers, self-defense and firearms/concealed carry certifications, self-defense and victim prevention seminars to private and community organizations.
Tom holds Black Belts in the martial arts of Taekwondo and White Tiger's Den (Montana) Close Combat System, as well as ranked belts and additional training in Kempo, Tang Soo Do Karate, Combat Systema, Escrima, and traditional boxing. Tom is the author of REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM: Self-Defense Concepts for Everyday Life, GUNFIGHT: Self-Defense Handgun for New Shooters, and BREAKING THE MACHINE: Tools and Techniques for Stopping an Attacker.
Front Strike Self-Defense & Survival was created as a platform to empower private citizens to stand up, defend themselves, and survive when confronted by a threat, be it man-made or in the form of a natural disaster. You have the right to defend yourself and your family! Front Strike Self-Defense & Survival will help you do just that.
Dealing with a threat, be it a violent attacker, criminal activity, or a natural disaster, is a scary proposition. The more we train now, the better prepared we are for such an encounter. Take control of your own destiny and refuse to be a victim!
