From the reviews
Marcos is such a great instructor. He is very knowledgable, skilled, adaptable to students needs, engaging, and he really showed his passion for the job. He really helped me figure our my eye dominance understand why I chose the caliber I did, how to hold the gun properly, and more secure.
I recently took a concealed carry weapons course with Marcos from Sanchez Tactical, and I can’t recommend it enough! Our group had a wide range of experience levels—some were current ProForce/security professionals, others were former military and law enforcement, and some were complete beginners.
I went with Sanchez Tactical to do my CCW 2 year refresher. I was very pleased with Marcos’ ability to quickly pick up on each attendee’s skill level and adapt to meet their individual needs. He was extremely easy to work with, but also very concise with his expectations of us.
I had a great experience with Marcos! The class kept me fully engaged and it was incredibly informative about all aspects of concealed carry, and, in my case, it was amazing to see how quickly one can improve at the range with the proper knowledge and guidance that Marcos offers.
Your first Krav Maga class at Sanchez Tactical
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
