Carlos was a great instructor. The course was super organized and explained with great detail. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat.
Came here for 2 courses. Did the 101 training and the conceals license completion. Carlos is a beast at this stuff, he know a lot of information. Really recommend signing up to take the courses and the classes if able to.
Taking the training was very helpful. I was very nervous to shoot the gun, but I needed to get over my fears. Carlos is very knowledgeable and I look forward to taking more classes to be comfortable.
The overall experience was great, quick, and easy. I went on an extremely busy day and there was a bit of chaos inside without any direction or lines forming properly but I'm not complaining!
Excellent training and information. Easy to understand. Mr. Gutierrez made this experience safe and effective.
Knowledgeable and experienced about the process of obtaining your concealed weapon license. I highly recommend choosing Florida Defensive Training!
Amazing spot to get your license! Carlos was very helpful and taught very well. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Amazing class. Very useful and informative. Many good pricing packages available after taking at least one class!
Great class! Carlos is an excellent trainer and he is extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended .
Did the intro class and just from that I learned so much. Carlos was our instructor and he was amazing. I came in scared I was going to get beat up 😅 and that was definitely not the case. He was very patient and explained everything in GREAT detail. It’s a no brainer to sign up for this class.
The initial course of FDT was really helpful! It was my first time taking this kind of course and in it I learned how to have a proper shooting stance and grip, what to do on a knife situation, and two other important scenarios. I would highly recommend this course! Don't wait
A++++ easiest and the most informative class I’ve had. Instructor Carlos is knowledge and highly committed to trade. Class was interesting and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get their concealed. Thank you FDT
Amazing class. Went over as much as possible in an hour and was very hands on. I also liked how Carlos focused a lot on the reasons why things work the way they do. 10/10 recommend!
OMG what an intensive and well educated class. Carlos makes it look easy but he teaches the fundamentals to novice like myself. I learned some new ways to defend myself. I definitely will recommend to anyone , who wants to learn the proper techniques of shooting a firearm and defense training.
Carlos was extremely informative and engaging. It was worth every penny. I can’t wait for the next class
I had an incredible experience learning self-defense from Franck. He expertise and teaching style made the classes both informative and enjoyable. Franck's patience and dedication to helping students understand the techniques really stood out. I feel much more confident and empowered after taking his classes. Highly recommend!
AMAZING!!! CARLOS IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PATIENT. PROVIDES A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS AND INFORMATION THAT YOU WOULD NOT EVEN THINK. Further solidifying this is the best all inclusive defensive training I’ve ever take
This course was very informative the instructor Carlos was straight to the point. He was open for any and all question’s definitely recommend…Also there are many courses available I will be looking to take those as well.
I took the intro course and I almost canceled but I’m definitely glad I didn’t. I learned a lot and it was very informative. The instructor (Carlos) was very helpful and correct us when needed.
Great wealth of knowledge from Carlos and company. I really like the real world interactions and much needed responses to those interactions.
It was an excellent experience to learn about self defense, specially for women and college students as me. I am glad that the FDT assisted to MDC West Campus so we can learn how to any act if we are in threat.
Carlos is a fantastic instructor and did a great job showing the defending yourself from an dangerous situation is not something thats even feasible without proper training, can’t wait till I take further training.
Great class, a lot of helpful information. Class is entertaining and very interactive. Trying their training next. Im glad I took this class. Great instructor.
I am very happy with this class. I went and booked the class for my boyfriend and I. This is something we have been looking forward to in a while and it is a great experience we will recommend to everyone. Carlos was very informative and made me feel comfortable of moving forward to get the license.
Carlos the instructor is extremely informative easy class, great atmosphere he wants you to succeed. I highly recommend taking all of his course work and buying the book online
I became a member appropriately 3 months ago. I enjoy all the classes available to me. They are well planned out, and real life scenarios for surviving a real world attack. Just to mention I am a Martial Artist/ gym owner, and a active firearms instructor. Even with my own experience I feel the curriculum at FDT is priceless and a valuable addition to any previous training you may have. If you are a novice, the instructors take extra attention to assure you are grabbing the techniques. The courses are designed for all level students.Stop by, you won’t regret it.
Online course for concealed carry was great hosted by Chris. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get their CCW. Thank you Chris for sharing all the info and your own personal story.
Best training in Miami! More people should try it, no matter the level of experience. Frank does an amazing job at trying to get you where you want to be and pushing you in order to excel. I have improved in more than on aspect since I started training here. I recommend for everyone!!!
Great great great location for trained and untrained individuals. Great ways to work out while working on mental stress. Frank is amazing in listening when it comes to what YOU as an individual want to work on. Whether it's self defense, tactical training, or even cardio conditioning he will TEST YOU and you will be a much better improved person mentally and physically. Always recommended! Haven't stopped going since I began! Keep it up FRANK and thank you!
I’ve trained extensively in martial arts and firearms for a while, and this facility is by far one of best I’ve ever been to. I got some awesome new techniques that took my skillset to the next level. It was clean, but it still had that gritty feeling of a place where you were about to get that work in. If you looking to take your training to the next level, whether beginner or advanced, I highly recommend!
I have been training with Franck for more than 6 months and he is by far, the most patient instructor out there. He is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and the passion he has for what he does is like no other. I’m a LEO and if one day his techniques can save me from harm, then all the blood, sweat and tears would have been worth it. I am forever thankful and recommend Frank at Florida Defensive Training for anyone who what’s to learn or even perfect their skills in close combat and/ or tactical handgun.
