Toolset Training Tour
Join us on October 18-19 and Learn How to Transform Everyday Items into Effective Improvised Weapons for Effective Personal Protection.
What would you do if a bad guy attacked you?
Sadly, when faced with that fatal question, many clueless folks fall back on foolish responses. You’ve heard the untested bravado time and time again.
“I’ll just shoot ‘em.”
“I’ll just pull out my knife.”
“I’ll get my pepper spray.”
One of the biggest myths in the self-defense world is believing you’ll be safe as long as you own a weapon.
Why is it a myth? Because possession does NOT equal proficiency.
In other words, just because you own a weapon doesn’t mean you’ll know how to use it effectively.
Heck, it could even be on your body and you still might not know how to deploy it quickly enough before a robber gets to you.
In many cases, you might actually end up being a walking holster for the bad guy, who could disarm you and use your weapon against you.
The What
So, how do you make the tools you already have work for you and NOT against you?
How do you elevate your self-defense skills so you’re safer, more confident, and better prepared — anywhere, anytime?
That’s exactly what you’ll discover at the Toolset Training Tour — a hands-on, 2-day seminar designed to give you complete mastery over the fundamentals of the most practical everyday-carry (EDC) tools:
🔪 Knife: How to select the right blade, discreetly carry it, and deploy it safely under pressure.
🔦 Flashlight: How to choose one that fits your lifestyle and use it as a tactical advantage — and not just in low-light situations.
🖊️ Pen: The overlooked yet surprisingly effective self-defense tool hiding in plain sight.
The Why
Carrying a self-defense tool without training with it is like owning a car without knowing how to drive. When push comes to shove, hesitation and ineptitude can actually put you in greater danger than not using it in the first place.
At the Toolset Training Tour, you’ll learn:
✅ Selection Skills: Avoid wasting money on flashy gadgets that fail when you need them most.
✅ Carry Confidence: Learn where and how to carry your tools on your body for speed, safety, and discretion — and to stay within the legal limits.
✅ Deployment Drills: Build muscle memory to access and use your tools under stress.
✅ Real-World Scenarios: Train for the situations you’re actually likely to face, not for martial arts myths or street-fight fantasies.
This isn’t theory.
It’s practical, hands-on training you can use the very same day.
The How
This isn’t a lecture or PowerPoint slideshow. This is step-by-step progressive training designed to give you skills you’ll keep for life.
Here’s a sneak peek at how we’ll do it, using our Pyramid of Personal Protection™ as the framework:
