Become A Member

For years I've wanted to stay connected with my students and offer my expertise beyond the small number of people who can attend my live training courses each year.

However, there hasn't been a simple and cost-effective way to do this -- until recently, with the rapid advances in online technology.

I can now, quite easily and at a reasonably low cost, have a member-only website that I can manage myself -- with video, a personal journal, PDF downloads, and an online store.

However, rather than doing this myself I decided to join forces with two of my partners: Dr. George Thompson of the Verbal Judo Institute and Dave Young of Arma Training.

Through our membership programs, we are able to interact with members on an ongoing basis to help them maintain and enhance their skills, get great prices on products we personally recommend and, if they've been through one of our training classes, get online access to all materials used in the course.

There are three membership programs you may be interested in.

Vistelar Training Group (for the general public)
Verbal Judo Institute (for professionals)
Arma Training (for professionals)

To learn more about any of these programs, just click on a link above.

Our Members receive the following:

Access to an Online Store where you can view our personal recommendations for the best products in our industry and obtain special discounts.

If you attend one of our live training classes, access to all of the materials for that course (powerpoints, manuals, tests, forms, student drills, class videos, photos and handouts) -- with updates as they become available.

Access to member-only content that we add each month

Opportunity to ask us questions and get a response via our monthly calls and our unique video/audio forum technology

These membership programs are focused on delivering information we are unwilling to make available for public view. We feel that the techniques and tactics used by a professional or the general public to save their life should not be readily available to the bad guys.

Therefore, all prospective members for any of these programs must submit an application so we can verify a person's identity before enabling their access.

I hope I'll have the opportunity to interact with you via one or more of these membership programs.
