The VITAL Tour


The purpose of this section is NOT to insult or tear apart other styles / systems. It is to inform you about all the stuff currently out there to choose from. We will give you our opinion about it, and let you conclude what you will about each.

For someone who just started to become interested in self-defense, it can be an intimidating world of too many options to choose from. Each one is says how much better they are than the others. Each claims to be the ultimate self-defense for you!

As you can imagine, each potential personal solution to violence we go over has it’s pros and cons. Additionally, there are some that are generally very good, and others that are abysmal. Some suit only specific student types, such as military or police. It’s a fairly mixed bag of choices out there. We will do our best to guide you through them.

Although we don’t necessarily intend to be bias to our own agenda, we are Human and that’s just the nature of things. We will attempt to minimize it, but admittedly, it will always be there. Feel free to do more research and draw your own conclusions. If you come away with a different conclusion then us, we would ask that you contact us so we may learn from you. We are always open to new ideas. It is possible that we are in error, and we want to be open-minded… but not so open-minded that our brains fall out!

SIDE NOTE: The next section is the Martial Arts section. As you will see, it is quite large with lots of sub-sections. We cover this first because it is a big subject to talk about in relation to the point we are making. It is also the most controversial topic we discuss and thus needs the most clarification and argument support. There are many aspects in our discussions on martial arts that will also carry over to the other subjects as well. In essence what we are getting at here is that the martial arts section is pretty lengthy because it covers almost all our main points. Once we get through the martial arts section, it’s all downhill from there because much of the argument would have already been established in the martial arts section.
