 Not all Vigilantes are martial artists, though all the effective ones are. Some Vigilantes, under the influence of television and action movies, make use of guns, though genuine good guy Vigilantes will not tolerate lethal weapons. Most Vigilante martial artists are not Trained by a Master. Of those that are Trained by a Master, many were trained before they turned Vigilante, while others were trained by a Vigilante master.
-The most popular martial arts among Vigilantes are generally the most popular martial arts among Americans: Taekwondo, Karate, Jujutsu, Brazilian Jujutsu, Kick Boxing, Judo, Hapkido, and Muay Thai. Kickboxers and Muay Thai artists are particularly likely to be drawn to the Vigilantes due to being alienated from the Wulin, after Wulin criticism of their public popularity. Also well represented among Vigilantes are Aikido, Aikijutsu, Jeet Kune Do, Pentjak Silat , and Tang Soo Do. Many Vigilantes are MMA fighters, mixing martial arts to find the ideal combination. Unlike most criminal gangs, Vigilante teams often use a variety of different styles.

 Perhaps what horrifies traditional martial artists most about the Vigilantes is that, unlike other good guy factions, they often make no effort to operate in secret. They may even go out of their way to court publicity, though the Wushu Effect prevents them from being very successful.

 The Vigilante movement attracts a lot of angry people, not all of whom are well-balanced. The Vigilantes mostly does a good job of socializing zealots, but the lack of central authority makes it easy for individuals or groups to go their own way if they really want to. Vigilante villains almost always see themselves as good guys. They are idealistic fanatics who mean to be fighting on the side of right, but lose their way in a fit of enthusiasm and adrenaline. They kill, or attack the innocent, or fight with reckless disregard for public safety, or simply become too brutal to be counted among the good guys anymore. Vigilante villains generally claim they are only doing what they must be done in order to save society from being torn apart in martial arts anarchy.

	The Vigilantes are ordinary Americans who refuse to allow criminals to rule the streets. They are by far the largest, least informed, least organized, and most loosely affiliated good-guy faction in the US. Anyone can become a Vigilante just be announcing that they are one. The Vigilante movement has no formal structure beyond the neighborhood level, and many Vigilante groups have little contact with other Vigilante groups, let alone other good guy factions. Most Vigilantes have only the vaguest understanding of the true nature of the world, and may never even have heard of the “Kung Fu War”. The vast majority of day to day martial arts crime-fighting in the USA is performed by Vigilante groups. Little do most Americans know, but the Vigilantes are the only thing that stands between them and a living hell of crime and martial arts violence.
