TRUSTED TRAINING PARTNERS

World-Class Training Through Trusted Partnerships

​

At Strong & Courageous, we believe exceptional training saves lives. Rather than attempting to offer every tactical, firearms, or leadership course ourselves, we have chosen to partner with nationally respected training organizations that have earned the trust of law enforcement, military personnel, corrections professionals, security specialists, executive protection teams, and responsibly armed citizens through years of operational experience and instructional excellence.

​

When individuals, agencies, businesses, churches, or organizations contact Strong & Courageous seeking professional training, we connect them with trusted instructors and organizations that best meet their specific needs.

​

Our mission is simple:

Connect exceptional people with exceptional training.

A Longstanding Partnership

​

The relationship between Strong & Courageous Founder Michael Puente and Rigo Durazo began in 2009, when Michael first became a student of Rigo's. Over the years, that student-instructor relationship evolved into a professional friendship built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to raising the standard of tactical training. Today, Michael continues to work alongside TacFlow Academy by assisting with training programs while helping connect agencies, organizations, and individual professionals with the outstanding instruction TacFlow Academy provides throughout the United States.
