D.I.R.T. - Dangerous Individual Recognition Training®

Discover how to "read" the body language of dangerous people and how to respond confidently and effectively in any situation!


You're walking down the street and spot a shadowy figure up ahead. Is he just a normal guy minding his own business or is he a threat?

You have a bad feeling, but you don't know how to read the situation. Should you do something? And if so, what? You know that if you send the wrong signal, you might actually invite an attack. But what signal should you send? Should you keep walking? Turn around and run? Draw a weapon?

It's not the first time you've felt this way. You know criminals "read" people to select their victims, but you don't know how to "read" other people to separate good guys from bad guys. You feel confused and helpless.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Because NOW you can actually learn the secret, unspoken language of criminals to spot potential violence before it happens.

Introducing D.I.R.T. - Dangerous Individual Recognition Training®, presented by Terry Vaughan, one of the world's leading authorities on criminal body language, self-defense mindset, and survival strategy.

This fun, eye-opening 6-hour seminar will show you how to read other people like a book, spot criminals before they attack, and take decisive action to survive.

Register NOW at the earlybird price of just $75. (Regular price after Jan. 28 is $95.)

You've made the choice to carry a firearm and learn how to use it effectively ... but now you can take your self-defense preparation to the next level and learn the secrets and skills to avoid and deter an attack before it even happens!

You've practiced drawing a firearm from concealment. You've drilled on reloads and clearing malfunctions. You may have even taken advanced classes on low-light shooting, shooting and moving, and close quarters combat.

And you've done all this to prepare for a sudden and unforeseen violent attack that threatens your life or the lives of your loved ones.

But what if you could learn a completely different set of skills that allowed you to "see" that violent attack coming before it even happened? What if you could spot the potential attacker before he launches his attack ... or before he even selects you as his next victim?

You don't need a crystal ball for this. All you need is to know how to "read" the nonverbal body language of other people, especially criminals who are planning an act of violence.

Just as you can tell that someone is in pain when they grimace or they're happy when they smile, you can tell when someone is about to attack. You just haven't learned to read the signals. But now you CAN. 

The truth is, your worst enemy isn't the thug about to throw a knockout punch. Your worst enemy is blindness to the body language of other people.

Up to 90 percent of all communication is non-verbal. And if you can't understand what other people are telling you through their eyes, expressions, movements, posture, and other unspoken signals, you're BLIND to the threats around you.

As they say, action beats reaction. And that's what attackers rely on. SURPRISE! They expect to shock and overwhelm you with their unexpected and aggressive actions so you are unable to effectively respond. They're not looking for a fight, they're looking for a distracted victim.

But after attending this fascinating, fun, and interactive seminar, you will no longer be that victim if you apply the tips, tactics, and strategies you learn.

In this entertaining and fast-paced seminar, Terry Vaughan, a body language expert and former British Royal Marines Commando, will show you ... 

  • The 4 key criteria predators use to choose victims - If you play poker, you probably have a "tell" signaling your hand to master players. It works the same way for victim selection. If you display one of these key criteria, a bad guy will believe you're vulnerable to attack.   
  • How to use your body language to deter threats - You don't have to look like the Hulk to scare off attackers. You just have to display the simple little warning signs that say, "This is not the easy victim you're looking for." And no, puffing up your chest and trying to look tough isn't one of them.
  • 10 likely pre-attack body language signals - Bad guys send off signals too, especially when they're about to launch their attack. In fact, once you know what to look for, these pre-attack signals will be as easy to see as a signal flare, so you can take evasive or defensive action instantly.
  • 5 critical components of personal safety - Yes, carrying a firearm is a great idea, but it's a last resort when an attack is already happening. The best safety strategy is knowing how to avoid being attacked in the first place. And when you make these five things part of your daily routine, you may put yourself out of reach and never need to draw that firearm.
  • 3 strategies to maximize visual awareness - Even if you have 20-20 vision, can you really "see" what's going on around you and what might be about to happen? No one can predict the future, but if you make these three simple changes, you can turn your eyes into radar to spot danger zones, see threats, and locate routes of escape no matter where you are.
  • How to "upgrade" your subconscious bias software - Your brain is already "programmed" to spot potential threats, but the software is old and not always well-adapted to modern life. Terry will show you how to improve your natural defense mechanisms to help your subconscious work faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
  • Simple steps to reduce "inattentional blindness" - It's amazing how much you don't see, even when it's right in front of you. Psychologists call it "inattentional blindness" and it's the result of your brain focusing on one thing and ignoring something else. This can lead to a surprise attack, unless you take these simple, but vital steps to bring a threat into focus.
  • Why levity is important for personal safety - You probably can't "scare off" hardened criminals. But strangely, you can use a sense of humor as a surprisingly effective tool for self-defense and deterence if you know exactly how and when to do it.
  • And much, much more!
