Curriculum

 

Jeet Kune Do is a process, not a product. - Bruce Lee

At New York Martial Arts Academy students are offered classes in various arts. These arts include Kali, Reylson Gracie Jiu Jitsu, and the academy's core art of Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do. Students are given the opportunity to take these classes for specific reasons and goals.

For example, a student will participate in a Filipino Kali class in order to learn about weaponry such as a stick or knife. But what is more important, once we have learned to use these weapons we will be able to learn ways to defend against them.

A student will participate in a R. Gracie Jiu Jitsu class to become comfortable in another fighting situation. In this class a student is taught how to react if taken to the ground. One of the underlying goals of R. Gracie Jui Jitsu is to learn how to survive on the ground and when the opportunity presents itself to perform a finishing move on your opponent.

At New York Martial Arts Academy students train for various reasons ranging from self- defence to fun and fitness. With proper dedication and training, all students using Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do as their core art and the skills learned in Kali and R. Gracie Jiu Jitsu are given the chance to survive on the streets.
