The course was well paced, safety was clearly a top priority, and the information provided was practical and easy to understand. This isn't rushed or cookie cutter training, it's legit. Highly recommend for anyone looking for professional firearms and self-defense education.

When things started clicking we were able to advance at a faster pace than planned which was fully appreciated by the group. The instruction was detailed and methodical while being easy to understand. I look forward to more advanced training from Defensive Tactics and Firearms in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody looking for firearms instruction.

Peter never once made me feel dumb or as if I was going to fail, and unfortunately I've encountered instructors that seemed to enjoy "knowing" more than their students! This team operates so much differently and this made a huge difference in my training. I have already started spreading the word! Thank you again for sharing all your expertise we will see you at our next re-qual!

Outstanding CCW Training - Highly Recommend!…read more I took the CCW Initial course for Riverside County with Force Defense Firearms Training, and it was by far the best firearms training experience I've had. I previously completed a CCW course for my OC permit through a different provider, and Force Defense absolutely blows them out of the water. Michael and Pete are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and bring years of real-world experience to the table. Their ability to teach in a clear, approachable way while maintaining a strong focus on safety is what sets them apart. One thing I really appreciated was the instructor-to-student ratio--it makes a huge difference when it comes to safety and personalized instruction. You never feel rushed or like you're just a number. The entire course is well-paced, detailed, and intentional. You can tell they care about each student walking away confident, informed, and responsible. If you're looking for high-quality CCW training with instructors who take the time to do it right, I highly recommend Force Defense. I'll definitely be coming back for future training.

Their…read morewebsite is very easy to navigate, the classes are affordable, and the instructors are very patient. I've taken classes with Erin and a class with Mike. The class I took with Mike was the red dot 101 and I was thinking it would be a whole lot of shooting. It was more lecture than shooting in my opinion but the lecture is definitely what you need. Mike was on it, he was patient, a little funny but professional at the same time. He made sure everyone was understanding the process. I can't wait to take another class with PPA because I had a great time and a I learned a lot. Mike you're a genius!

Loved working with Erin, Mike, and Zack!…read more Erin's Basic Firearms Class was exceptional! She's very thorough, realistic, and straightforward with her training. I noticed she is repetitive to allow us to build muscle memory when she observes a bit of a struggle when there is a lot to remember! And she is great at it and for our own good. She is very knowledgeable about her firearms and she allowed us to get familiar with each of them. Mike, Zack, and Erin's Initial CCW course was 2-days on the range and in the class. We had a mix of renewals, initials, and edits (adding or amending firearms) and a large class amongst the three instructors was impressive! They worked in sync moving large groups in waves and in order of their respective courses. Safety was always first and foremost, range logistics and emergency action plan was discussed and designated/shared roles amongst the class. Mandatory ears and eye protection are a must when the range opens at 0900 sharp! No exceptions. Mike and Zack covered a lot of classroom instruction and are very knowledgeable about gun laws and state policies. They talked a lot about de-escalating situations and disengaging with bad company ALWAYS! The goal is always to get home safe to your family. Zack said it best, something to the sort of "I hope that I die past 80 years of age and never having to defend myself in a gun fight" I highly recommend Personal Protection Academy for all your self defense training and firearms training needs! I would definitely enroll in other classes !

If you need a PPT look no further, this is the place to be!…read more After having an awful experience at The Shootist gun shop today 11-02-20 which they clearly do not like to do PPT's and we left empty handed (see my review for them soon) Thankfully we found All Valley Tactical in a nice down town shopping area. Immediately we were greeted by Milo who was very welcoming, friendly and gave us fantastic service. Milo did our PPT in a breeze. Although Milo's shop was smaller he had quality firearms, ammo, Glock bags, and other gear. This shop also had the same North American Rescue compact medic kit that the shootist carried and I happily bought it here instead. I appreciate that Milo doesn't discriminate against those who can't wear masks. When I got home Milo messaged me back from a prior question I had on yelp to him and he apologized that he got busy and couldn't reply sooner. No apology needed Milo because you took great care of us and other customers in there with better/faster/kinder service than Turners or Shootist!
