New York Martial Arts Academy

In 1985, New York Martial Arts Academy became the first school in New York to teach Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do (Bruce Lee's Fighting Method) Since that time, over 3,000 students have trained at our academy. Our academy is one of the largest training facilities in New York. Although a large facility, personalized attention is maintained through small group lessons and constant interaction with our students.

NYMAA is the first school in the New York area to be recognized by the Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Nucleus (an organization established to perpetuate & preserve the art that Bruce Lee developed). This organization and our school have a common purpose, to perpetuate and promote the general knowledge of our art: Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. Our academy stresses street effective techniques, taught in a safe and respectable manner. At the same time, we create a high standard for our students, guiding them towards achieving excellence through our curriculum: based on the art of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do.

In the Martial Arts their are some basic tools that have to be developed. Through group or private lessons you will be given the opportunity to develop the necessary skills to perform self defense techniques against empty hand & weapon attacks. In as little as two hours a week, you will develop rhythm, speed, coordination and control to defend yourself.

This is an academy of learning, many different aspects will be taught. This is why we do not classify ourselves as a karate school. While training at New York Martial Arts Academy, you will develop friendship and respect for other people. Our style emphasizes an effective street self defense method while training in a safe manner.

In June of 1998 NYMAA began its children's program based on the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do. Our academy also stresses Western boxing for punching, and Filipino martial arts for weaponry: in order for our children to become comfortable in today's society.
