“Jonathan’s experience, knowledge, and passion for safe firearm training are excellent. There are many options out there but if you want to feel comfortable and confident in the level of training you will get then I highly recommend any of his services. From beginner to advanced classes I always came out much more skilled, accurate, and prepared for any potential situation I may face. And it’s fun in a safe environment- Thanks Jonathan!”
“Jonathan Lee is the most professional and excellent firearm instructor I have met. He offers a variety of firearm training classes. I took Jon's very first handgun training in 2017. With his training, I am confident about using firearms for home defense as well as a CCW permit holder. ”

"I took Home Protection and Defence training, Pistol 101 to 505, Low Light Pistol Shooting, Rifle training 1&2 with coach Jon over the past two years, and I enjoyed every minute of these fun, informational and practical training courses. Having a small group coaching and practices helped me to build a solid foundation of firearm safety, handling, accuracy as well as boosting my confidence in handling firearms under pressure and stress. I highly recommend all the training, no matter you are a starter or an amateur who enjoys practicing shooting, you will take away something new and useful from Jon’s training courses.”

"I have been living in the US for 11 years and I have met four firearm instructors in total. I was referred to Jonathan Lee by a friend in 2019. Since I already took the other three trainer's pistol classes, I was hesitant to go back to square one. After Jonathan's explanation, I was still a bit reluctant to take the beginner pistol class but I did. Well, I am so glad I took his advice to start over from the fundamentals. My pistol marksmanship was greatly improved by the end of the first training. I have been taking several different levels of handgun classes with Jonathan since then. And my wife also took his pistol class and was very satisfied with it. I also really like the refresher training plan option because it is the best bang for your buck! "

“My name is Jack and I’ve been training with Jonathan for over a year now after my brother Tom introduced me. At first, I was nervous about taking classes, but after the very first class, I was hooked. Jonathan showed extraordinary professionalism and patience for beginners like myself. As classes got more advanced, I fixed my bad habits in shooting and learned many new tactical movements such as how to draw, shoot behind covers, night shooting, etc. Jonathan is an extraordinary instructor and I recommend him wholeheartedly, there aren’t many like him out there.”

At first, I was reluctant to take a live firearm class because I had learned firearm use from watching YouTube videos and I believed that I knew how to use a handgun well. After taking the Fortitude handgun fundamental beginner training in person, I was grateful to find a good trainer like Jon who fixed my bad habits in handgun handling and shooting. Then having taken Jon’s handgun intermediate class also, I became familiar and confident clearing multiple types of malfunctions with different and specific techniques even under pressure during training. I could never get this important practice and experience by watching videos. With his training credentials and abundance of experience, Jonathan ran the firearm training safely and professionally. I am humbled by Jonathan’s teaching ability. What’s more, I also learned substantial’s knowledge about the firearm laws from him. I highly recommend his firearm training if you are serious about using a firearm accurately and safely.

Hello, my name is Alice. I had no idea about guns before I came to the USA. Even though I had lived here for a few years, I never wanted to touch any firearm because my fear of guns was so tremendous. Well, the social unrest and increasing crime rates in 2020 made me learn shooting for home defense. I took Jon’s handgun beginner-level class with my friend in August 2020. It was an unforgettable event which marked a milestone in my life. I was panicky during my initial phase of live-fire shooting and Jon closely monitored my progress and confidence. My very first shooting experience was so intense that it took me some time to get over the excitement. Jon adhered to stringent gun safety rules, I totally agree that gun safety is the highest priority. With Jon’s effective training, I can shoot reasonably well with both revolver and a Glock pistol. I must tell you that Jon is a very attentive trainer who caught all our mistakes with his trained eyes. And he would expect us to make corrections immediately in the best interest of the student and achieving the best training outcomes. Jon is a strict trainer and that's good, but he is also friendly with a sense of humor.

My wife and I are first-time gun owners, and gun safety is very important to us. We were put at ease by Jonathan's extensive background in firearms training and his methodical approach for teaching how to operate firearms safely. Every part of the training fully prepared us for the next stage of training. And Jonathan also made the experience a lot of fun!

This was the first time that I learned how to shoot a handgun and I have zero experience with it. Jonathan was very experienced, patient, and passionate about firearm training. The lesson was safe and fun! He separated the course into two different sessions. The first part was the basic firearm knowledge introduced by using a virtual classroom online with Zoom; the second part was held at the range where firearm handling and live-fire shooting were taught. I am glad that I have Jonathan as a mentor to handgun shooting. I was nervous at first, but he calmed me down with stress management methods such as taking a deep breath. The first session with him was great and I highly recommend taking a training course with him. I learned a lot about how to use and fire a semiautomatic pistol. Most importantly, I learn how to handle a firearm safely.
