What People Say

Mayra Torres

I recently had the privilege of taking a pistol training course with Yoseph from Battle Tested Training Group, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From the moment the class started, it was clear that Yoseph is not only an expert in firearms training but also a dedicated instructor who genuinely cares about his students' safety and success.

Yoseph’s teaching style is both engaging and informative. He breaks down complex concepts into easily digestible parts, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their experience level, feels confident and capable. His hands-on approach allowed me to practice techniques in a supportive environment, and he provided constructive feedback that helped me improve rapidly.

What truly sets Yoseph apart is his ability to create a comfortable learning atmosphere. He fosters open communication, encouraging questions and discussions that enhance the overall learning experience. His passion for teaching and commitment to helping others develop their skills is evident in every session.

Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Yoseph is the instructor you want by your side. I walked away feeling more confident and knowledgeable about pistol handling, and I can't wait to continue my training with him. Thank you, Yoseph, for an incredible experience!

Training with Yoseph from Battle-Tested Training Group was excellent. His one-on-one instruction focused on sight targeting, weapon hold, trigger control, and aiming, while also correcting my stance, posture, and mental focus. As a military retiree who had let my qualifications lapse, his tailored approach helped me regain confidence in my shooting skills.

Yoseph is knowledgeable and very experienced, making him a great instructor for shooters at any level. I highly recommend him and Battle-Tested Training Group. SF!

Los mejores instructores gracias ❤️❤️❤️❤️🫡 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hands down the BEST training I’ve ever received. I completed the Advanced Rifle & Pistol Course and their CQB Course with Battle-Tested Training Group, and let me tell you — these guys are on another level. Their experience, knowledge, and ability to break things down in a way that actually sticks is unmatched.

They don’t just teach tactics — they build confidence, mindset, and real-world application that could literally save your life. It’s clear they’ve lived what they teach. You don’t need a fancy million-dollar shoot house when you’ve got instructors who’ve trained and operated at the highest levels.

If you’re serious about taking your skills to the next level, I highly recommend Battle-Tested Training Group. This is not your average “check-the-box” training — this is the real deal. 10/10.
