I took the D and G license classes almost back to back. I was thankful that Forte Defense could…read moreaccommodate my schedule. The same NRA trained instructor handled both classes and made some of the "boring" parts less so. What really stood out for me was qualifying on the range the last day. The instructor was all business. No grab ass, no excuses. Safety first. If you don't cut it, you don't make it. That being said, the instructor goes above and beyond to help you make up any short comings. Well worth the money and time.

Great instruction to satisfy the Florida requirements for the CCW. We also wanted our teenage…read moredaughter to learn some basic firearm safety rules and to receive basic marksmanship training. Did the course as a family and we all had a blast! We all learned something new after taking the class. Jon is incredibly patient with novices and very passionate and knowledgeable about teaching gun safety, marksmanship and explaining all the various options when it comes to purchasing a personal weapon and ammo. Highly recommend The Compassionate Gunner if you are looking to get your ccw or want to improve your marksmanship skills.

My granddaughter wanted to try kickboxing, so I signed her up at Karate America. To her surprise,…read moreI signed up as well. We signed up for both Kickboxing and Self defense, both excellent values. What a great way to have fun and get in shape with your kid! The people who practice there are all encouraging and kind. The instructors are talented in accelerating physical abilities and learning martial arts. They are also great with people, understanding that we are all different, and they are the best at helping people fit in and get the most out of the classes. I am especially appreciative of the manner they teach personal discipline, with love and respect. The Self-defense and martial arts training provided builds confidence, strength, flexibility, and balance. And will inspire one to do more with their life. And you don't have to be in shape to start, they will help you start from where you are. Join up, and make real progress fast. That's from my personal experience at Karate America. Absolutely excellent.

This company has turned predatory…read more I recommended this company to a friend, as I previously took a very good class there. My opinion has changed. Yes it is during the coronavirus. Yes things are right. But they essentially provided an online course with the cost of 100$ and a separate affadavit required to get the necessary licensing, and told my friend to go elsewhere to have someone else sign the form. No instructor in their right mind is going to sign a form on someone else's training. This is a money gouging play, and the details are not well provided, and it should not be allowed to stand.

Both Kareem and Chanel are welcoming, and as a duo and individually, they know their stuff! I did not realize the anxiety that I had developed around firearms due to a personal experience, however, I can say that I feel more confident than I did before completing this the course which includes practice shooting at a local gun range. I also love that this business is black-owned and women-owned because I realized afterwards, that being lead by familiar faces while learning new material such as this is important. 10/10.

I registered for the class with no clear idea of what to expect. I had never handled a gun nor was…read moreI sure that I would be capable of firing one. The GIFT team did an amazing job with the in-class training and hands on demonstrations. It was a bit long but once we arrived at the shooting range, it was clear why they were so thorough during the class. Both instructors were patient and made sure that each student had an equal amount of practice, guidance and support. I enjoyed the day way more than I ever thought I would. Will definitely take other classes with them.

Don't get me wrong the school was a good school to attend Miss Angie was the best teacher that I…read morecould have asked for but to be honest the professionalism and them being organized is what I don't like I graduated May 16th 2025 and mind you it is June of 2026 and I still haven't received my CPR card in which I had received while attending the school and I am in need of it to start a job going back and forth with the school about them telling me they sent it through my email them confirming that we had the same email information for them to send it to but yet it is nowhere to be found in my email very unprofessional for them to tell me because of the negligence on their end of them not sending me my CPR card from the beginning when I graduated that I would have to come out of pocket to pay for it when I clearly already passed it and it came with me completing the course I'm not going to trip about it I'm going to go ahead and just pay for it because this is ridiculous if they get organization is their facility and get someone who's more professional to answer the phone calls and to answer people's questions without getting agitated or attitudes I would recommend it highly but God says hi and look slow so I'm going to go ahead and pay for it out of pocket so that I can tell you to further my future .smh not to mention I never got a date either to do my state exam a whole year later which I'm going to go and come out of pocket and pay for it too they need to get it together .

I don't usually write reviews, but my experience with Jtech left me honestly uncomfortable,…read morescammed, disrespect, mistreated, and disappointed A major issue was the conduct of Mr. Vaughn. Instead of creating a supportive learning environment, his approach often felt intimidating. There were multiple instances where he used what came across as scare tactics toward students . Threatening to send home, raising his voice, insisting making examples out of people, telling students they don't want to see Drill Sergeant Vaughn, and creating unnecessary pressure rather than actually helping anyone improve. Learning is already stressful with it being nights and some students have work schedules, but this kind of environment makes it worse. Instead of deescalating, it felt like students were hesitant to speak up out of fear of being singled out. That's not how a classroom should operate, especially in a program where people are trying to build skills and confidence. Beyond that, communication and overall organization at the school didn't help much either. It often felt like concerns weren't taken seriously, and there wasn't much effort to address the environment being created.
