My son has been training at NYMAA for 8 years and has moved from Young Dragon to the Adult class. I bench sat during the years when he was in the Young Dragons class (he is a big boy now and he goes in by himself), I observed and listened in every single session. Even I enjoyed it very much 😊. I was just amazed by all the techniques & moves and also the theories of why you deliver the move with your arms/legs/body at a certain angle/direction & which bone(s) to use…etc. Understanding the theories and explanations helps one to carry the move to its best.All Sifu (instructors) are so well and professionally trained. They are kid-friendly and use language & activities that are easy for kids to understand and engage. They teach them not only the martial arts techniques, but also building up their confidence, be discipline, be respectful and be a good person. I am so grateful to NYMAA and everything you have provided for my son over the years.This is the place to strengthen oneself in many aspects. Highly recommended.

Caring, engaged instructors who are invested in there students learning. I love how they manage to remain patient and encouraging EVERY time I ask for help.

I have been training at NY Martial Arts Academy for almost two years now. I love it so much. I feel so much better after every class. It is a good workout but also a good stress reliever. It is also nice to be surrounded by wonderful instructors and other martial artists. They make the environment inviting and coming here is the highlight of my day!

Since I’ve started training at New York Martial Arts Academy I’ve seen nothing but growth. After every class I can confidently say that I’ve learned something new or gotten better at the fundamentals. NYMAA has changed my life for the better and I hope to continue to progress wit them!

Fantastic program for both kids and adults, a real sense of community with the knowledgeable and supporting instructors. Highly recommend!

Best place to train in Glen Cove! Effective training and good people inspiring others to be better. Lets gooo!

My son and I started training at NYMMA in 2012 and we both love the art, philosophy, and the instructors. It is very difficult to find a school that teaches an effective combat martial art balanced with a friendly & collaborative environment. The knowledge, skills, and passion that the instructors bring everyday really make it the best school we have ever trained at.As for the art itself, it may seem simple on the surface but I am still working to perfect the skills I was taught during my first intro week at the school. The art teaches what is equivalent to black belt techniques in other arts the first day and gives you time to perfect them through out your training. It focuses on simplify, efficiency, and effectiveness and now I also take that same approach to everything else I do.The kids class has helped my son develop a sense of discipline, focus, and dedication. The supportive environment has really elevated his confidence level, on top of that I know that he can defend himself if he needs to.I highly recommend this school to anyone interested in martial arts, but know that it will take commitment and a willingness to push yourself past your comfort zone, and the instructors and other students will be there to support you!

When you get put in a corner and not sure what to do the New York Martial Arts Academy gives you the power in getting out of that corner. They offer free trials to see if you like it and thats how they got me to come in and continue being a student after many years. Once upon a time I was used to being in the corner but now I could barely tell you what that like.

Joining was the best decision Ive ever made. Its an amazing workout that I genuinely look forward to everyday and I have never felt better.I highly recommend the NYMAA to anyone looking to take martial arts for any reason.

They know what they are doing. The instructors & people are nice, and understand many different forms of martial arts so theyre really good at teaching. I pray others experience what I did

Very professional, my 9 year old has nothing but good to say about the academy and all the shifts!

Ive been a member of this school for many years, I train at all of their locations and enjoy doing so very much, great staff, very helpful and always wiilin to listen help students, very few places are found with these qualities, I can understand why they have been open since 1985. Highly recommend it. 🖒

We love that place !!!

My son love it here...

A very friendly environment and very experienced coaches. A great way to get in shape along with mental focus.

My 5 year old son is loving it; they are very good with kids!:)-Yoli

Great attitude, better instructors, and the only place to learn the whole truth about martial arts 👍👍👍

I started training when I was 5 years old and the passion I had for JKD has only gotten stronger. Training here is like training with family, everyone is friendly and get along which makes training here even better!

I have been training at NY Martial Arts Academy for many years at the other locations but have been to the glen cove location which is beautiful. As an older man, I was always scared of where I could go learn martial arts without getting treated differently because of my age. Immediately at NYMAA I felt right at home. All of the instructors are very welcoming, always greeting you and making you feel comfortable. NYMAA is somewhere where I will stay for a long time because the art they teach, Jeet Kune Do, is truly the most fulfilling art to study.

I am an active member of NYMAA and absolutely love it!! As someone who never took martial arts before, I was instantly welcomed and made to feel at home. Although I was nervous to begin this journey, I am glad I did! The instructors are extremely knowledgable and always go out of their way to make sure everyone is having the best experience they could possibly have. I can truly say I have learned so much and have built friendships that will last a lifetime! By far the best martial arts school around!!

Very welcoming staff and instructors. Great place to train and learn Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do. Much better than other martial arts school Ive tried.

This place is awesome. Shifu (sensei/sir/instructor) James is the man. My experience with him and this gym is unparalleled. Why, you might ask? Other than his background of 24 years of practically every martial arts under the sun under his belt, Shifu has more than decent character. Finally, I was initially hesitant to start training JKD (Bruce Lees Martial Art Style), but 15 mins in my first class I was more than comfortable. It is practical both for a workout and for self-defense. I enjoy this gym and its vibe perhaps a little more than I should. An easy recommendation.

Great experience for kids as well as adults

It was great
