    I did the CCW training course with Brian Fitzpatrick. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but…read moreholy shit this was an amazing experience. Brian doesn't only teach you about the legality of carrying/shooting and actually shooting. He teaches you how to think, what to expect from a real situation, and a lot about how to keep yourself and your family safe in a life threatening situation. He has all of the credentials and life experience to teach this class. Brian was an unlimited glossary of information, he had the answer to every single question. The training was phenomenal and I plan to work with Brian again. Thank you MV Tactical for providing quality service.

Brian Fitzpatrick and Vahagn Nahabedian were outstanding instructors--professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly focused on safety. From start to finish, the course was well-structured, informative, and eye-opening. I came in thinking I had a decent understanding of firearm handling, and I left realizing how much I still have to learn. That realization alone was worth the entire class. Brian and Vahagn created an environment where learning felt both empowering and humbling, and I'm genuinely grateful for it. If you're considering any kind of firearms course, I can't recommend MV Tactical enough. The instruction, attention to detail, and emphasis on responsible gun ownership are second to none. I'll definitely be back for more training in the future. Andy

    Exceptional Training at United Defense Tactical in Thousand Oaks!…read more I recently completed a series of self-defense courses at UDT TO, and I can't recommend this place enough! What truly sets this location apart is their incredible team of instructors. Every one of them brings decades of combined experience, ensuring that you're learning from true experts. They don't just teach marksmanship--they prepare you for the unpredictability of actual threats. They focus on deescalation techniques. We practiced the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) in dynamic simulations that mimicked being followed, home invasions, or street encounters, which built confidence. The curriculum is progressive and tailored for all levels, with reality-based drills that go beyond static range shooting to sharpen mental focus, tactical movement, and decision-making under pressure. If you're serious about personal safety and want training that is realistic and practical, United Defense Tactical in Thousand Oaks is the gold standard. Five stars all the way--I'll be back for more advanced classes!

    Went to a free demo one Saturday morning and Jay was the person who did the orientation. The demo…read moretook an hour and a half and featured cases where you have to defend yourself against threats. The demo was very realistic and Jay was a good instructor. He demonstrated the proper way to carry a handgun and the proper grip and stance to be an effective shooter. I was paired with another person (Robin) and she also was pretty impressed with the demo and with the training facility. I'd probably sign up with UDT once my schedule clears up. Just busy with life and work currently but learned a few things on defending against personal threats. Thanks Jay for a very instructive morning (my arm still aches though from that defensive hold you taught us) - just kidding

    I'm a first time shooter (other than a BB gun as a kid). I had a two hour lesson with Coach Don and…read moreI'm really pleased with the amount of education and hands-on instruction I received in such a short amount of time. We spent the first hour of the lesson on classroom instruction. I learned the history of the most common hand guns used, why someone would prefer one type over another, the differences between single and double action, and how different handguns suit different individuals. Don made sure I felt confident handling the different types. By the time we entered the firing range, I had learned proper stance, range etiquette, how to load a magazine, and the importance of proper technique when racking the slide. But the most unexpected thing I learned was that my nervous system (as a first time shooter) would be taxed. He explained that my first shot would likely be my best shot because once I knew what to expect I would begin to anticipate and I would have a bit of a "fight or flight" response. I never would've expected that and so when it happened, I was well prepared. Even though most people know to expect the sound and the kickback of a weapon, you're not really prepared for it if you've never done it before. Sure enough, my hands got shaky, my breathing got shallow my heart rate raised, but he coached me on how to relax and breathe through it. I was pretty proud of how well I did and I really look forward to my next lesson!
