Professor Charles Hepburn II is an average citizen just like you. Someone who works from the same platform that you do. He is someone who has spent nearly a decade of his life intensely researching violent crime, and developing an effective self-defense system that normal people can use in their everyday lives. So that the people who tend to be the targets criminals pick can choose if they will be victims or victors.
Although Professor Hepburn was an experienced martial arts head instructor for a large martial arts school for a decade, he left there because he was unsatisfied with what the martial arts industry marketed as training that was good for self-defense. Fueled by a vision that the everyday Joes and Janes of the world could and should use effective personal protection to save themselves or their families from violent crime, Professor Hepburn is trail blazing a new kind of self-defense industry. One that takes a more responsible and wise approach to the issues of inter-Human violence. A groundbreaking body of work that is Violence Intervention Training for Anyone’s Life… or VITAL Self-Defense.
What Professor Charles Hepburn II WILL NOT teach you:
- How to kick
ass
• Look like a bad ass
• Win fights
• Be all-powerful
• How to be invincible to all threats
• How to defeat every opponent
• To do a jump-back spin kick to the head
• Wow your friends with martial arts skills
• Back flip with a kick
• Do that joint lock in that one movie
• How to get someone to stop talking smack
• Get street cred
• How to earn a Black Belt
• To break cinder blocks with a chop
• Nun chuck usage
• Force people to give you respect
• How to be the ultimate warrior
• How to win athletic championships
He also will NOT teach you:
- Unwarranted
fear and paranoia
• Anything with shock tactics and sensationalism
• How to be on guard at all times / to be hyper alert
• Demolish all that oppose you
• Distorted information about danger
• Sugar coated information on violence
• How to dominate and control people around you
Professor Hepburn WILL teach you what you need to know about violent crime in order to escape and survive with your life. He WILL teach you how much unique worth and potential you have inside you already… and that you are worth protecting and fighting for! You will learn that most people really have no clue about real violence, and thus they are scared by every cry of a wolf. Professor Hepburn will teach you how to be prepared, aware, and show you what really matters in saving you or your family’s life. He will train you so that you aren’t a green rookie on your first day facing an experienced criminal with a sinister agenda. He will remove all the misinformation and false conceptions, and install responsible and solid advice that will get you back to your loved ones in one piece.
So if you are looking for a muscle-laden macho marine warrior who has been in thousands of fights, won 10 world cage fighting tournaments, and works on the weekend as a lion wrestler, then there are plenty of guys out there that can take your money and give you what seems like it would work. But if you are not interested in testosterone fighting, sparring trophies, or are just plain tired of the same old junk offered up out there that promises to make you invincible, then Professor Hepburn is your man. If you are really interested in NOT becoming a victim of violence or violation, look no further. If you want something that you would bet your life on, then here it is. When you are ready for the real, we’ll be right here!
Professor Hepburn’s life work is to empower ordinary people to prevail over violence, so rather then dying as victims, they may live as strong survivors.

Who
is this super sexy Christie chick anyways? :-)
Christie Hepburn is Professor Hepburn’s better half. She
has also earned a Black Belt in martial arts, but more
importantly, has studied many issues of violence herself.
As a student of anthropology, Christie has educated herself
on many culture’s histories and traditions. With this
background and understanding of Human traits, she brings a
completely new dimension to the table.
Christie’s valuable women’s perspective adds balance and
subtly to the VITAL system. Her extensive research and fact
hunting has turned up many useful sources of self-defense
information. Her quick wit and fiery personality breathes
life into our work. Christie is more then just my wife; she
represents all that I am striving for… a good worth
fighting for! It is my honor to partner with her in our
life-long dream of helping others live stronger and more
fulfilling lives.
