In 2013 he finally decided to get international firearms certifications and flew to the US to certify himself in different NRA instructor programs. He then realized that those programs were very basic and begun searching and training with different instructors when he finally met the CFS program and knew that this was the program that he wanted to specialize in. This same year he founded COMBAT MF, a private company dedicated to train civilians, law enforcement and military personnel in the new ways of the gun and self defense.

Gonzalo is also a very renowned competitor in his county, is a sponsored shooter and trainer by 5.11 Tactical, Global Risk Prevention and Aguila Ammunition.

Why CFS:

After certifying myself in the NRA instructor programs, I knew that my training had to climb many levels and had to be focused in more realistic systems as well as systems that not only worked under theory but under empirical information and that´s when after doing months of research I found the program. This search took me to another trip to the US to get to know and understand the program and then I knew I was in the right path to becoming a more efficient Combative Shooter. Since then we in the company have developed well trained people through latin america, people better prepared to respond in the best way possible in a Dynamic Critical Incident but even better we have carried this concepts to many different students, some of them knife students or adapted them to Force On Force scenarios and to other life threatening training.
