My son used to do Tkd for a few years and after that joined JKD. He has been here for over 4-5 years now from the kids class to now the adults. He loves the school and the training has turned him into a confident person. The instructors here are passionate about what they teach and my son is comfortable with all the different angles from kicking, punching, to grappling. I can’t say enough good things about this place. He enjoys sparring and the wrestling and is always saying “daddy hurry up we’re gonna be late”. He makes me drive to their different schools so he can learn more. It’s built his endurance, muscle memory, and most of all his street smarts. The students here are awesome as well and they all help each other. As a parent I love watching them grow.

The last four years I spent training here has completely changed my life. At NYMAA, I’ve learned more than just how to defend myself, I’ve learned the true essence of what it means to be a martial artist through practicing Jeet Kune do.

I spent a good deal of my young adult life training at NYMAA. It changed my life.
I attribute much of my own personal growth and the success of my business to the time I spent with Sifu Dino Orfanos.
Life took me in a differen't direction sometime around 2010 and now, over a decade later, I'm back. This time, with my four year old son. He loves it.
The instructors are amazing and talented. Beyond that, everyone is kind and respectful.
NYMAA harbors a place for good people who aim to better themselves and those around them.

Have been training here for almost a year and absolutely love it. Met some amazing people and learn a ton each week. Highly recommend this to anyone interested in martial arts and self defense.

I’ve done Karate, Judo, and BJJ, but none have been as effective or as engaging as Jeet Kune Do. All the instructors are so friendly and so informative. It’s awesome learning here

the attention you get from the instructors is amazing. they take the time to teach you, not just make you repeat movements over and over. they go into depth on the science of why your doing what your doing, how to counter, how to move, etc etc. the work out is also good, so its a win/win.

My son has been training at New York Martial Arts Academy for a few months and absolutely loves it! The students learn to focus, follow directions and coordination all while having fun with other kids their age! The children also have discussions about topics such as discipline, politeness, respect, etc. If you are looking for a martial arts school that respects all students and works one to one with them to help them improve their form, look no further. I highly recommend New York Martial Arts Academy!

All of the Sifus pay attention to detail, from form to execution, and they really know how to correct your mistakes and make you aware of why you are doing it wrong. They really know how to teach thru experience

My son has been attending classes here for two years and I only have the best to say! He has learned so much and loves going each time which is a testament to the amazing coaches and staff. We will be going for years to come!

I started training here almost a year and a half ago. Being a woman in the city, I really wanted to gain confidence by knowing how to defend myself in real world scenarios. This place has given me just that, and has also been a great place to make new friends. All of the instructor and staff are amazing!
