Description

With the increasing threat of violent crime, more people are choosing to learn personal protection skills. Unfortunately, many students never have the opportunity to train under instructors who have real-world experience in surviving life-or-death self-defense situations. 


Pistol Self-Defense Fundamentals is the result of 50+ YEARS of combined operational experience in law enforcement, national security, and high-risk security operations that introduces you to the skills necessary for defending oneself using a pistol.


During this 6-hour live-fire class you'll learn the basics of how to use your handgun in a self-defense scenario. You can expect to receive lots of hands-on practice, instruction, and feedback to help develop and hone your technique both on the range and at home.

Topics Covered

This class is ideal for students with some firearms experience who are ready to take their handgun skills up a notch. New gun owners and concealed carry permit holders who want to go beyond shooting boring paper targets at an indoor range will also drastically improve their handgun skills in this class.


If it's been a while since you've gone to the range and you'd like to get reacquainted with your firearm, this is a great refresher class for you.

Expectations and Outcomes

 
***** John Bicalho
Valortec is legit. I had a great experience during training and could see a big difference on how I performed between beginning and end of course. Herfel has a ton of experience and was attentive giving the opportunity to ask questions and explain topics in more details. I definitely recommend valortec for anyone seeking quality training.
 
***** William Lee
I attended the Defensive Pistol Course and it was undoubtedly one of the most rewarding and fundamental classes I've ever taken. If you conceal carry or own for personal protection, Valortec is who you want to be trained by. You will NOT learn unproven or flashy techniques that make you look like John Wick. You will learn practical, relevant, and practice principles that will give you a solid foundation for defending yourself with a handgun. Herfel does an excellent job at breaking down what to do and why to do it. Herfel's patience and clear direction are only exceeded by his ability to make abstract concepts easy to understand and relevant to a defensive scenario. If you are ready to do more than shoot flat paper targets in a tunnel, and start building skills to help you protect yourself and loved ones, Valortec is your partner.
 
***** Javier De Jesús
Definitely the best. I learned a lot with Herfel and you can tell he really enjoy teaching. If you carry a firearm you must take a course with this guy. You will learn a lot about the law and the best way to use your firearm in critical situations
 
***** Raquel Leiva
I had a great experience. My highly-qualified instructor was patient, thorough, and good-natured. I learned more than I anticipated, and had fun doing it. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

Highly qualified individual that made the training fun and corrected bad habits acquired after 22 years in the army. Highly recommended!!
