I'm sorry that it offends you to be told this, but it is possible to learn basic disarms in a single weekend -- given the proper mindset and a commitment to practice.
The disarm/retention portions of LFI-2 are significantly less than a weekend in length, and will allow the average person to defeat most threats if followed through with rigorous practice.

Steve Tarani's classes also are a few days in length and the techniques are ones that can be easily picked up and used if (there are those magic words again) followed through with rigorous practice.

The basic and critical information can be conveyed in a weekend. Taking that information and making it instinctive and competent requires repetitive, quality practice.

Strangely, that's what Tarani, Ayoob, Awerbuck, Rogers, and most every other instructor teach: the basic skills are easy, making them instinctive requires dedication.

Wait . . . isn't that what Pax has been saying all along?

Wait
