Herfel Torres and his professional team of highly skilled firearms instructors at Valortec are outstanding, second to none. The instructors have a wide range of military, personal security and law enforcement experience. Valortec’s “self-defense fundamentals” courses (pistol & rifle) are educational and entertaining. Herfel incorporates biomechanics into his compartmentalized training sessions which prepares students of all ages and medical conditions to safely and effectively defend their home and family. Valortec offers concealed carry courses. You can also sign up for private lessons. I highly recommend Herfel and Valortec. The skills you will learn may someday safe your life or the life of a family member.

Valortec - pistol self defense fundamentals course: This course is one that you will truly enjoy! The instructors are relaxed, knowledgeable, very helpful , provide very useful information and real life circumstances that grab your attention to want more from them. The instruction provides firearms handling information that educates you while providing immediate results that you will see in yourself. They help you build confidence and skill while having lots of fun. Don’t miss out, sign up for the next class. I will be taking the rifle class next. Five star ⭐️ operation!!!

My brother and I took the pistol and rifle courses. The instructor and the Valortec team were methodical, meticulous and always maintained firearms safety as the highest priority. Valortec identified issues with our equipment and our weapons manipulation that we had not even realized were problematic. After an in depth explanation and after making the necessary adjustments, the instructor and the team brought our defensive skills and accuracy up to the next level. The pace was intense but appropriate, the staff was professional and the Chief instructor was serious during firearms handling and while running drills but he and his team created a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment with humor and fellowship that set a tone in the class where everyone was not only learning but also having fun. The reason I’m giving Valortec only 5 stars is because Google doesn’t offer a 10 star rating. Otherwise, I give the chief instructor, the staff, the company and the curriculum 10 stars. As a navy veteran, I highly recommend Valortec to all current service members, military veterans and their families.

As a woman, I felt like I was in a safe place and they definitely taught me a lot of valuable information in this course. I am a gun owner and I could definitely say that I feel a lot more comfortable handling my gun and I feel reassured that I can handle it much more efficiently now. They were super professional and even worked with me one on one. I think this course is a one size fits all and I hope that everyone can get to experience it. I loved it! And I wouldn’t change anything about it. Thank you Valortec!

Hands down nothing like it! If you want to learn actually pistol defensive training that is adapted to the civilian but taught by those who have seen real world defensive action, and is not tailored to simply make you “feel like you learned something” then Valortec has you covered. You won’t simply be shooting and shifting left and right, you will learn everything from the proper drawing and reholstering of your pistol and aiming to the most efficient and effective reloading methodology only taught by Valortec…to shooting while walking in a culmination of an “everything-applied” CQC course.. if there we’re more than 5 stars I’d give it!
