Herfal and the team did an absolutely killer job putting on this course. This isn't your run of the mill course. He breaks it down to the basics, and builds up until you're moving and shooting. As someone that had a bit of rifle experience growing up, but not having touched them in about 10 years, it was great to get my feet wet again. This course is NOT for people new to rifles. This is an advanced course, that covers advanced topics and techniques. Herfal does a great job giving real life experience and advice to protect yourself and your loved ones during a real life shooting scenario. 10/10, Highly recommended. If you haven't taken one of Valortec's courses yet, you're missing out.

I ended up taking the self defense pistol class. I had a great time and learned plenty. He even teaches you how to shoot with your eyes closed and still hit the target! So if you are looking for that “next” step after shooting static lanes this is definitely it. If you take this class you’ll have fun and learn a lot, just remember to bring snacks and water for the day.

Tremenda clase! Estos son unos DUROS DE VERDAD! Yo queria un curso "1 a 1" para refrescar mi practica de tiro ya que hacia mucho tiempo no disparaba. La clase fue super informativa y profesional. Intructores con mucha experiencia en emergencias de vida real. SE LOS RECOMIENDO.

The Pistol Self-Defense Fundamentals class was the first formal class I've taken since my CCW Course. These are my takeaways. 1. After my training with Valortec I feel exponentially more competent with my firearm! 2. The emphasis on safety paired with the easily digestible curriculum made for a very fun and unintimidating learning environment. 3. My favorite part about training with the pros at Valortec was learning the "Why". Every fundamental or technique has a purpose. 4. I was able to take what I learned back to my local range and train with confidence knowing what I learned is effective. 5. Shooting, moving, and communicating is absolutely essential in a self defense situation! Even though this is a higher level skill instructor Herfel Torres made this set of skills very easy to learn for a newer shooter like myself. I have already recommended this class to several family members and friends. If you wish to learn how to defend your life or your family's life with a firearm train with the pros at Valortec you will not regret it.

Herfel Torres and his Valortec team provided outstanding, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand instruction in their "Pistol Self-Defense Fundamentals" class. The day-long class was structured and carried out with progressive layer upon layer drills, which became the building blocks leading to successful skill outcomes. The many, various "pearls of wisdom" shared along the way re: the finer points of defensive pistol skills were invaluable and easy to incorporate into one's at home dry fire practice as well as practice on the range. All the instructors were top-notch - they set the tone for safety first and focused safe training but were also relaxed and easy-going, making the day-long class a very fun and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Valortec's "Pistol Self-Defense Fundamentals" class for anyone interested in becoming better prepared to protect yourself or your loved ones if it becomes necessary. Well done, Team Valortec!

What a great experience! Herfel and his team - Carlos and Will- are amazing! As a novice gun owner I needed to be comfortable with my weapon. Herfel's instructions are simple, basic, and each skill build on the last one. He gives background, allows time to practice each skill, and encourages questions. Our class was a mix of men and women with various degrees of experience. I was a little nervous being the only novice but Will and Carlos were by my side with plenty of encouragement and guidance.

Herfel was great. Very informative without info overload. It was a good blend of safety, real life scenarios and body mechanics along with the well supervised live shooting session. I felt safe and well informed.
