To whom it may concern: My name is Acie Mitchell, LEO Defensive Tactics Subject
Matter Expert and Founder/CTO of TNT Defense Systems, LLC. I enthusiastically
submit this recommendation letter on behalf of Chief Jeff Moldovan and his TLM’s
Fighting Chance Self-Defense System. As a martial artist and self-defense
instructor myself, I have known Mr. Moldovan for over approximately 2 years and
found his system (TLM) to be lucid and duplicative enough for his practitioners
of all ages. I’ve personally trained with Chief Moldovan on several occasions
having experienced and witnessed the pragmatic and effective techniques in his
system duplicated by women, children, teens, and even the elderly as they subdue
assailants with hand-to-hand combat for violent scenarios to include: escapes
from chokes, grabs, and holds; edged weapon defense; hostage and bondage
escapes; multiple attackers; and gun disarms. Jeff’s knowledge is equally
matched by his passion to help others save themselves when no one else can in
their critical time of need. Mr. Moldovan’s system would be an asset to any
protection organization and I consider him a consummate professional and a
master of his craft. Should you have any inquiries, feel at liberty to contact
me at anytime. Thank you. Regards, Acie Mitchell Founder/Chief Training Officer

I have been a student here at the safehouse for about 3 and a half or 4 months now. There have been many many things that have blown my mind with this system. I will try to share some of them with you.
First of all the system in a nutshell is primarily the use of 6 main basic tactics to deflect, trap, and disarm either an armed or a bare handed attacker. We are not talking ancient martial arts weapons here, we are talking guns, knives, ball bats, sticks, bottles, etc… Modern system for a modern life.
In addition to this we learn a huge variety of other things as well. Everything from home invasion scenarios… the safe house has many scenario rooms such as a bedroom, living room, kitchen, alleyway, bar, and plane fuselage, to name a few. We learn tactical shooting with airsoft guns. We learn to be aware at all times/the mental nature of predators. We learn an incredible amount of ways to effortlessly manipulate an attackers body. We learn how to get out of captive situations, And much much more.
Not a class has gone by where my mind has not been blown in some way.
We also learn truly effective striking. There are really no closed fist strikes that we focus on. This is good. In ultimate fighting championship one thing you are not allowed to do is….open fist strikes. Thats because they can end the fight in 1 hit and lead to other strikes from which the opponent would not recover from.
Eye Gouges, face/eye rakes, neck/throat strikes, groin strikes, leg/knee strikes, ear boxing, and effective knife cuts are all some of the attacks we focus on to cause serious mechanical disruption.
Punch someone in the face and you have a pretty good chance of breaking your hand and little chance that the 1 strike will take the person out.
Come on in, in your very first lesson…weather you sign up or not…you will learn and practice a single technique that god forbid might save your life one day.

Subject: Letter of Endorsement.
DATE: October 9, 2010
On behalf of the Orange County Correction’s Training and Staff Development Section in Orlando Florida, I would like to thank Jeff Moldovan and the TLM Fighting Chance Combatives Training Team for their outstanding instruction on Deadly Force Encounters.
Prior to the training received by Jeff Moldovan, our Correction’s Department had developed specialty units that were highly trained in areas of high risk security operations, but had little training on how to deal with personal deadly force encounters.
As the Specialty Unit Training Coordinator, I was concerned that many of the specialty unit officers where vulnerable to personal attack, I pondered with several thoughts that led me to ask the following questions:
- What would happen if one of our officers was approached while sitting in his/her vehicle and a subject suddenly pointed a weapon to their head and asked them to step out of the car?
- What would happen if a subject approached one of our officers and suddenly removed his/her weapon from their holster?
- What if suddenly an armed subject bursted into a hospital room in which one of our specialty unit officers is guarding a hospitalized inmate?
Although our training section had some weapons retention techniques and where trained on some basic weapons defense, nothing in our arson of techniques prepared us for extreme deadly force encounters. Jeff Moldovan’s TLM Fighting Chance Combatives System provided the techniques that addressed the deadly force encounters I was concerned about.
His weapons disarms techniques were unique and effective, that allowed our specialty unit officers to integrate them into their defensive tactics, further giving them a high level of confidence that they could handle any personal deadly force encounter, while on or off duty.
His system of six adaptable techniques called the savage six, in my personal opinion is a must for all public safety officers and will enhance any officer’s deadly force toolbox of techniques. If anyone has any questions about our experience with Fighting Chance Combative System, please feel free to personally call me at 407-448-0780 or e-mail me at www. Pete3665@yahoo.com
Howdy all. I’m not one to normally advertise for somebody on my FB page, but this is a case that I’m very passionate about. I’ve recently started taking a personal self- defense class called “Fighting Chance”. The chief instructors name is Jeff Moldovan and he’s on FB. Their website is here www.fcsafehouse.com. Now before you “poo poo” this stuff, let me tell you about it. It’s not a martial arts class, there are no belts, no forms, no rank, no fancy kicks, no contracts, no attitudes. It is simple, practical defense techniques that anyone can do – young or old, fit or not, strong or weak. I’ve done years of various types of martial arts in my years, but this one is the one I’ve been looking for. Within the first hour of my first (free) visit, I had learned to disarm a handgun and shotgun aimed high or low, anywhere around my body. That was the free class! I’ve been there three more times so far and I’m already confident enough to teach these simple moves to my wife and son, who went to watch last night, jumped right in and now want to start classes.
Jeff specializes in teaching women but also teaches men, the elderly, handicapped, the blind, anyone. He’s offered free classes to women who have been victimized. He’s a genuine good man, who really has a passion to help people not be victims. His monthly rates are VERY inexpensive, he has classes several nights a week and on saturdays. No contracts, no B.S. He also does a 2-day “boot camp” where you can learn enough to survive almost anything. He will also do seminars at schools, churches, wherever. I’m not getting paid for this. I really believe in its importance. Crime is on the rise. I’d hate to lose any of you. Please check it out.
Happy Thanksgiving! Howard
