Depending on where you are located (in Florida or elsewhere in this great nation), you will want to get to know these trainers better. In an industry that can sometimes get a bad rap, these folks stand tall as the 'best of the best' and as people who truly want to serve a higher purpose. Many of them are former military or first-responders, but, whatever their previous role, they are instructors with "mad skills" who can and will take you to the next level!
We've learned from these guys...and you will too.

Royce Bartlett -- Royce's booming "radio voice" baritone will penetrate the most stubborn set of ear muffs in order to give you some powerful, common-sense instruction...and what nuggets of wisdom you miss on the range, you can definitely pick up by listening to his internationally acclaimed podcast, "Shooting Straight," which celebrates liberty, the Second Amendment and all things pertaining thereto. Find Royce's classes HERE -- and his podcast HERE.

Dave "Boon" Benton -- An American hero by anyone's definition, this Benghazi survivor is an instructor extraordinaire with a humble, straightforward training style that will make you better as a shooter and maybe even as a person! Boon is also one of the founders of Shootingclasses.com so you can definitely find him HERE.

Martin Castellanos --  A retired LE officer and Coast Guard trainer, Marty is an engaging and dynamic instructor, and his unofficial training mantra says it all: "because funerals suck." He trains first responders and civilians alike with a dogged determination to prevent tragedy -- and his goal is ALWAYS to keep people alive, safe and highly skilled! Find Marty's website and classes HERE.

Ken Corley -- Ken's soothing and unhurried southern drawl belies his years of experience as a law enforcement officer and his national champion shooting skills. He's located in the Lake Nona area of Central Florida and has a back-yard range where he can work with you one-on-one.  You can find his classes HERE.

Benny Glossop -- Benny's skill as a defensive tactics instructor (and as a former MMA fighter) is unparalleled; and he's also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Find out about his storied career as a fighter, kickboxer, actor, trainer and more  HERE. 

Matt Mallory -- Matt is a U.S. Army veteran, a sworn LE officer, a highly experienced firearms instructor and popular host/guest on a variety of national media venues whose passion for weapons and self-defense began at a very young age. While his home is in New York, he can often be found teaching classes in Florida (especially during the winter!) and elsewhere in the country. Check out his schedule and multitude of classes HERE.

Israel Matos -- Someone nicknamed him "VooDoo" during a class he was co-instructing because of his uncanny knack for diagnosing issues with grip, trigger manipulation and accuracy, and it's a title that fits. If Izzy can't fix you, no one can! Find out more about his world-class instruction HERE.

Sig Sauer Training Academy -- Once you sit through one of Ross "you do you" Begnaud's Sig Academy classes (or any of his amazing Sig co-horts who teach at Volusia County Gun and Hunt Club and Frogbones Family Shooting Center), you will be signing up for the next one in short order! Great, common-sense detailed instruction and no meaningless swagger.  Find Sig's Florida classes HERE.

 

The one thing ALL these guys have in common is that they CARE about their students and they are not in the training biz to vaunt up their egos (they already have more than enough achievements to establish credibility a thousand times over.) These guys don't swagger or preach...they teach, they guide, and they help you better understand firearms, defensive shooting and personal defense tactics and strategies.     ​
