"I
have a combined 21 years of Military and Law enforcement experience. The Tac 2 course was some of the best training I have
ever done and the instructors were fantastic. The course was challenging enough for me and the instruction made it attainable
for my 18 year son. We both will be at Tac 3 for sure and look forward to your Tactical rifle courses."
~Anthony Medina
"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
"I took the Tactical One Course and have to say
that it was a great experience. Julio and his staff are very professional with safety being the first priority and then
the dynamics of shooting in real life stressful situations. Going to your typical range to shoot at a target while aiming
and standing in one place is one thing. This class teaches you how to react in a real life situations. Teaching you to think
and act at the same time to save your life one day. I recommend this class to anyone who buys a weapon for protection. Thank
you Julio and Staff! " ~ Ed F.
"Attended 7 Nov 2010 CWP class presented by Julio Cortes.
This gentleman is truly passionate about his work, and it showed in what was one of the best classes, subject matter aside,
that I have ever taken. Besides his superb firearm and tactical knowledge, I especially appreciated his patient and thorough
handling of student questions. With his wit, humor, and inventive use of teaching props, he turned what could have potentially
been a dry, ho hum, let's get it over with, classroom scenario into a most enjoyable and informative experience. Thank you,
Mr. Cortes--you are a superb teacher and wish there were more like you." ~Richard M.
"Just attended Julio R. Cortes concealed carry class jan 28
2012 and I must say I learned more in 4 to 5 hours with him than I have in 3 years handling guns. The way the man teaches
is simply brillant I left the range with tighter shoot groups and with the skills on how to properlly pull the trigger and
the trigger reset method works amazing. With out a doubt I plan on continuing with my tactical classes. Hands down this was
worth every penny great instructor thanks Julio." ~ Alexander Prieto
"Julio and his instructors are nothing short of outstanding.
Extreme competency, safety, and a conveyed genuine passion for tactical shooting excellence are ever present. He showed me
how to adapt to drills based on my limitations and this never felt awkward. I can't wait until Pistol Tac 2. "~ Bobby
"I took Pistol Tac 1, 2 and Rifle Tac 1. It has been a very good experience, because I have
learned a lot of new drills and tactics, I have improved my speed and precision, and these people are truly safe and professional.
Julio is one of the best instructors I have ever met and all the staff are great. You will learn a lot from them and at the
end of the day you will be a better shooter. Thanks for the training! Saludos!" ~Javier Arnaiz

"I want to share my experience with Julio and his firm. I signed up for the
concealed weapons class. This is something I always wanted to do, but just put it off. While I did handle weapons as a youth
growing up in New England, it had been many years. I was a little aprehensive going in. Am I too old, will I remember all
the things I was taught etc. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Julio welcomed me personally as he did with every clas member
and made us all feel very comfortable. The class was very informative. It wasn't just a sit and listen and you go home.
Julio encouraged interaction with all the students and made the class fun. We each got personal attention on the pistol handling
and were trained to consider safety at all times. After the class we went to the shooting range to exercise our new
skills. One at a time Julio guided us on the loading, aiming and firing of our chosen weapons. By the end of the day I felt
that I was highly trained and skilled. This would never would have happened if done on my own. Julio, a big THANK YOU!
I will be signing up for the next level of training and can't wait to get back to the range to sharpen my skills!" ~ Rich Rosand
"My wife and
I attended the Tactical Pistol 1 Course. We had attended other courses in other places but felt ackward.
They made us feel stupid. Mr Cortes was different. He demonstrated great knowledge
and ability. Yet his way of teaching was humble. He instructed you in a respectful manner
and kept the session exciting. I greatly appreciate his patience. For a person that
teaches these course repeatedly he has alot of passion which becomes contagious. My wife and I thankyou
very much. I will be bringing my sons for the course and my wife and i will continue taking tact 2 and
3."~Luis Torres (Oral Surgeon)
"Just took the Tactical Carbine 1 course, and I
am very pleased. I had attended a Magpul Dynamics Carbine class before, and this class compares very favorably. By the end
of the day Julio had us shooting on the move, from various positions, and at multiple targets. For a Level 1 one day class
this was unusual. I liked the way Julio stressed safety, and even though there were some participants with no prior experience,
all went well, thanks to Julio's constant attention. I strongly recommend this class, and I look forward to taking it again,
as well as attending the higher level courses." ~Jorge
Ravelo
"I can't stop talking about my Tactical Pistol One course!! The staff is courteous and
professional and extremely helpful. Where else can you train with real professionals for real life scenarios? I can't wait for my next course, thank you Julio. " ~Chris

My participation in the Concealed Weapons Permit class on 8/28/11 was
nothing short of
extraord1nary with Julio at the helm. I want to thank
him for a very informative and stimulating class with instructions
made
easy to understand and participate in. keep up the good work.

"I took the Tactical One Course and have to say
that it was a great experience. Julio and his staff are very professional with saefty being the first priority and then
the dynamics of shooting in real life stressful situations. This class was like a one day boot camp for learning how
to shoot quickly when in need of self defense. A lot of time was spent on drawing your weapon and facing different scenarios
behind cover, reloads, jams, etc. This class is for people who want to learn more than just shooting from a podium at
the range, and it will separate you from those flat foot shooters! I highly recommend the class!"

"I participated
to the Tactical I Pistol last week end. The experience was really great. I had a tremendous time and I believe I learned a
lot. I was lucky enough to find a group of people that enjoyed the day and a group of instructors that really cared about
us (the ‘students’). I would recommend anybody to try the course; the least you could learn is to be confident
with a pistol, and maybe even to properly defend yourself in case of an emergency. I’m going to Tactical II Pistol soon.
See you there." ~Nicola B.
"Just wanted to express
many thanks to Mr. Julio Cortes for giving me the opportunity for taking his CWP class (July 10th). It was a great experience
and i can't wait until Aug.21 for the Tactical Pistol 1 Session. I also could not hesitate to become an NRA member! Thanks
for the advice Julio! Hope to see you and the family soon..."
~ Luis R. Chavez
"The tactical rifle class was an intense
day and I left with a whole new perspective on tactical shooting in general and the carbine in particular. The drills were challenging and revealed areas where I needed
additional training and practice. Overall, MFT's classes are one of the
best shooter training 'products' available and I'm appreciative of their high quality classes, highly knowledgable staff and fun but challenging courses." ~ Marc C.
"I just want to say thank you Julio for all the information and great support you gave to people
like me, a begining shooter. I'll follow all your recomendations. Thank you."
~ Erwin Meinhardt
"Tactical Pistol 1 - I had an incredible
time. Honestly, one of the best things I ever could have done. I feel so much better about handling my weapons now. I
will direct everyone possible to the class with the most glowing of reviews I could give. You guys were all amazing and I thank you."

"Your instruction continues to be TOP notch, your
classes are highly motivational and your website keeps getting better all the time. Miami Firearms Training, Don't pack piece
without it!"
~Gus
"Julio's Level One
Class was excellent. I thought something was wrong with my gun or the bullets I was buying because my shooting
was off. After receiving some instruction, Julio was able to teach me how to redirect my shots into the center bull's
eye. Now I feel confident as a shooter because I know what to do correctly. I would recommend this class to anyone
who wants to improve their technique. Don't waste your time on your own and take the class and your improvements will
be great!"

"Never had experience with a firearm
knowing the precious value of life as very careful in choosing were to get instruction for my son and I, we took the concealed
weapon as a starter came out extremely satisfied with all we learned, to my surprise now even I feel confident handling a
handgun. We will definitely move on to the next tactical 1 class, I thank God that led me to Miami Firearms and Julio."
~Lulio Vasquez
"May 15th... Took Tactical pistol one...
WOW.. very informative, Julio and his team did an excellent job. The level of training exceeded my expectation. The very next
day i was "podium shooting" and notice a complete improvement in my shooting skills. I am more confident around
my firearms since taken this course..My Favorite part was using DUMMY ROUNDS... what great malfunction simulation technique....When
in doubt "Tap,Rack, and shoot" Look foward to the next class. "
~Teddy From Aces!!!!!
"WOW WOW WHAT A CLASS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE BEST
TRAINING WITH THE BEST INSTRUCTORS THIS IS A BIG MUST. IT WAS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR I HAD A GREAT TIME. I WILL BE GOING BACK
TO TAKE TACTICAL 2&3 AND THE REST OF THE TACTICAL CLASSES THAT THEY HAVE. YOU WILL BE A FOOL NOT TO TAKE THIS CLASS IF
YOU ARE CARRYING A GUN. I CAN GO ON & ON JUST TRY ONE CLASS AND YOU WILL SEE THEY ARE THE BEST. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE TRAINING SEE YOU NEXT CLASS. JULIO YOUR THE BEST."
~DAVID LOPEZ.
"There were several
newbies in my class, including myself, who had never fired a weapon before. Julio was patient and answered all questions--even
those that were completely unrelated to the topic under discussion. He gently corrected those who asked about bullets. (You
will need to attend the class to understand why he corrected the question!) Furthermore, when we went to
the gun range he (and his lovely wife) showed the same level of patience and I felt comfortable shooting at the end of the
range time. I highly recommend the "Combo Class" for new shooters because you will get more range time right up
front. I plan to return for the tactical pistol class to learn more about the safe and proper use of my firearm whether it
turns out to be a pistol or a revolver--and thanks to Julio, I now know the difference!Thanks Julio!"~ Gwendolyn
"Good morning guys, I want to say thank you to MR Julio

and see you soon..."

"The Number One name in learning how to handle a weapon the right way, the
safe way. Just completed the Tactical Pistol 3 Class and have come away with such a high level of confidence in handling
a pistol, that I am inspired to continue seeking out any opportunity to practice and hone my new-found skills. I used to think
that I could handle a gun fairly well, Ha! The Instructors at Miami Firearms Training taught me tactics and proper gun handling
techniques, I would have NEVER aquired any place else. I am deeply grateful for the inspiration, experience, and instruction
I have received from Miami Firearms Training. I recommend anyone who wants to become proficient with a weapon, to attend any
and all of Miami Firearms Training Classes. The instructors are some of the Finest, Knowledgeable, and Courteous Instructors,
I have ever had the Honor to learn from. I am already "loading up" and eagerly awaiting my next chance to attend
your classes. As always, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!" ~Gus

~Jose Martinez
"Julio`s class moves along nicely for the experienced shooter and
the newbie. His info relating to the miss firing of a pistol is something every shooter should learn. He also takes the time
to show every student the basis of a pistol grip and trigger pull. This was paramount for my wife since she won`t listen to
me..."
~Chris Guarino
"I haven't been responsible for a weapon since 1992, when I was in the Marine's Secuity Force battalion. I just
reacently perchased a pistol and decided the best thing I could do is master it again after 14 years. I
attended Mr.Cortez CWC coarse and found him to be a very good instructor, prompting me to countinue onto his Tec.1 Pistol
coarse. I was very impressed by the professionalism and safty held at high level by all the instructors. Just owning a gun
is not good enough.You need to learn how to dance with it." ~Angel
Gomez
"The CWP class was great, I am new to firearms so I learned a great deal. I am hooked
and plan to attend more classes. Julio was very detailed and took his time explaining all we needed to know. Thanks again."
~ Luis
"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
”My wife Lucie finally
stepped over to the DARK SIDE and took your Tactical Pistol 1 Class
in December 2010. To say that she was impressed, is an understatement.
She came away with a whole new respect and desire for firearms that
is directly attributable to your incredible patience, knowledge and expertise.
As has always been my experience with you, you know how to motivate, inspire
and instruct your students in the proper methods to be safe, accurate and
fast with a weapon. Lucie is looking forward to attending more of your classes,
as time allows. She is totally taken in by your professionalism and is anxious
to continue learning. As always, you guys ROCK!! Keep up the Great work and
God Bless!” ~Gus Tate
