Miami Firearms Training

Providing world class instruction In an enjoyable and SAFE atmosphere

Miami Firearms Training is dedicated in teach real world Tactics and techniques. We don’t take short cuts. We teach the correct way from the CWP to the most advance Tactical 3 classes. We want to make sure our students learn the proper way and excel to their full potential.

Choosing a Firearms SchoolProfessionals all in one place

The hardest step will be making the decision to take your very first class ... Just do your research and pick one! You will learn more from your first instructor than from any other, so make sure you choose the one that is right for you.

Instructor: Look at the instructors qualifications, both as an instructor and a shooter. Do you have access to the instructor by phone or e-mail? If you have questions, you have the right to an answer. Does the school teach the courses offered, or do they host other instructors? If they host other instructors, you might want to consider the option of going directly to that instructor instead.
Testimonials: What are the other student's comments? Do they look authentic? Do they cover the classes you are interested in taking?
Photos: "A picture tells a thousand words!" Are they Internet "Stock photos"? Are they only of the instructors, or photos from actual classes?
Classroom: Do they have an office? What range do they use for their training?
Classes: Do they have scheduled classes (weekly, monthly?) in what you are interested in? If they don't, they might not have a full time school.
Primary function: Is the primary function of the training school firearms training? Training is what you are looking for; not security services, private investigations, bodyguards, etc. If the company is trying to do too many things, your class might get lost in the mix!
For the Concealed Weapons Permit Classes, ask if they actually shoot at a range (not airsoft pistols), and ask what caliber they use (not .22). If you qualify with an airsoft or caliber .22, imagine the difference if you have to defend your life in an actual encounter with a 9mm or larger.
Look at the entire website. Educate yourself and ask the right questions.
If you are wondering if you are ready for a more advanced class, call the instructor and discuss it with him.

If you’re wondering whether or not this class is worth it…believe me, it’s worth every penny!! Miami Firearms Training just takes you to another level of thought, skill and above all, safety, while creating an environment where you can actually have A LOT of fun while learning advanced and effective applications to tactical situations. Simply, bad ass. Great job, guys! Gilbert

La experiencia en Miami FireArms Training es Extraordinaria. El profesionalismo con que se hacen las clases es incomparable, se encargan de que todo este bajo control, Julio es un Profesional y su Instrucción es impecable. He tomado Tactical Pistol 1, 2 y 3 ; en todas las medidas de seguridad en el campo de tiro y antes de entrar a el son las mismas nada se asume, todo se indica previamente es absolutamente seguro. La instrucción desde Pistol 1 comienza con lo básico y se refuerza en los siguientes. Pistol 2 te lleva a otro nivel de complejidad, pero no pierde la esencia de lo básico. Pistol 3 es la experiencia que combina todo lo aprendido con un nivel de exigencia superior. El ingles no es un problema, Julio se encarga de que todo el mundo entienda la clase sea cual sea el idioma que hables. Si estas en Miami, o vienes de visita y te gustan las Armas esta es una experiencia que no se puede dejar de realizar. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Eduardo B. – Venezuela.

Let me start off by saying, I have never written a review or testimonial on anything. With that being said, This class is well structured and informative with safety in the forefront. Julio and his team were outstanding in the way they thought and explained the reasoning behind the lesson. I highly recommend this class to anyone who owns a pistol. I’ve had my CWP for 19 years with no situational training. I now know I have a long way to go before I can honestly say I will not be one of those victims shot with his own weapon. I WILL be attending more classes. Thank you Julio

John and Pearl My spouse and I, are parents, nurses, and gun owners. We believe in responsible gun ownership. We waited until our kids were older to exercise our Second Amendment Rights. For 3 years, we have frequented firing range to learn about our Glocks and attended safety weapon classes. Then we heard about Tactical Pistol I Class, by Miami Firearms Training Inc. Initially, we were a bit skeptical about attending the class, because we were beginners and very anxious around guns. But at the end of the class, we were more confident and comfortable with handling our weapons and better educated to use them. The class taught us the basics; and how to turn and shoot, shooting while walking forwards and backwards, and shooting while running for cover, and a lot more real life scenarios. It educated us about safety and how to defend ourselves and our loved ones. Moreover, the safety measures implemented in the class really impressed us. Imagine 20 guys moving around on weapon training with live ammunition this was a bit concerning. But, Julio Cortes and his staff were in control. Safety is their priority. Julio and his team are very knowledgeable, professional and courteous instructors. We are planning to go on training with them every year and would highly recommend them to our families and friends.

“I took the class with my Wife, and Julio knows what he is doing. He also actually teaches you how to handle the weapon. The improvement in my shooting and overal handling was huge. Very good, take all the classes with him!”

~ ~Henry

“Anyone who owns a firearm should attend this course! (Tactical Pistol 1) I had no previous experience and left this class feeling confident. The staff is professional and makes you feel at ease.”

~ ~Veronica Sprague

“I’ve been shooting for more than 15 years now and I regret not doing this training years ago. For anyone who plans to own a firearm, you need to take this class. Julio and his staff carry themselves with the utmost professionalism, and their vast knowledge and preparation to deliver the best training experience is noticeable from the moment you arrive at the range. I plan on taking tactical pistol II and III, and then tactical rifle. You will enjoy for sure.»~ Sig V. 10-10-11

“Julio, your class was over the top, Tactical 1, goes through the foundations of using a firearm and its uses towards self defense, I was very happy with what i learned and will be going to tactical 2. can’t wait.”

~ Carlos Q

“Hi Julio, Reuben, Jesus;
I like to thank you all for developing this Self Defense Class. It is by far the best self defense class I have participated in. I started the classes in Oct. Five months later I am as excited as the first time. You provide the building blocks for a stable foundation. Now I feel we are ready to build. You guys keep it exciting, and real. I love practicing real life scenarios. In my profession I run real life mock emergencies and constantly tell my staff the more we practice the less chaos and panic we will have in a true emergency. I glad you guys embrace the same idea. One last thing I would like to point out is your attention to detail and safety in every aspect of the class. Once again I can not thank you enough and hope to take this class for a very long time. Can wait for the March 1st Seminar! Wish you guys the best.”

“Just did the knife and pistol defense course.
Definitely and eye opener on how effective someone can be with a knife and how fast things can happen.
Learned a lot of skills, and learned that its not about strength so much but more about technique and angle.
Thanks again Julio and all the staff.”
