An experienced professional dedicated to providing civilian training in personal safety, situational awareness, and self-defense. Leveraging a robust background in law enforcement, martial arts and security, Abe aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate potential threats confidently.
“Abe Fuentes has conducted training for our five agencies. He covered first responder safety and awareness for all of our Fire Department personnel. With Abe’s past experience as a law enforcement officer for a major metropolitan city it was easy for him to relate and provide real examples. After the classroom instruction Abe provided a series of hands on scenarios that first responders may be confronted with and solutions to keep our firefighters safe. His mixed martial arts background and the instruction he gives for self-defense he was able to adapt for our staff. Our fire agencies not only received good classroom and practical instruction, but were engaged and enjoyed the class thoroughly. I would highly recommend Abe for any training that your staff needs. He is able to adapt his presentation to his audience and he has the background to legitimately give classroom and practical skills instruction.”
