Embrace the Art of Jeet Kune Do
At NY Martial Arts Academy, our self-defense classes are rooted in the principles of Jeet Kune Do, a martial art that equips you with a full spectrum of tools including punching, kicking, grappling, trapping and use of a weapon. From disarming potential attackers to intercepting their advances, you'll learn how to handle unpredictable street attacks where conventional rules don't apply. This training prepares you for real-world scenarios, providing the skills you need to protect yourself effectively and get home safely.
Prepare for Real-World Situations
From empty hand to use of a weapon, our self-defense classes are designed to address various real-life threats. In reality, danger can come from any direction and could come from a man or a woman. Our co-ed classes ensure that you're ready to defend yourself in any situation, offering a realistic and comprehensive approach to self-protection.
Build Unshakeable Confidence
In the busy streets of New York, having the confidence to confront challenges is crucial. Many women may feel powerless or afraid when faced with an attack, but our classes empower you to fight back. Through proven training and practical techniques, you'll gain the self-assurance needed to handle any confrontation.
Enhance Your Physical Fitness
While our program doesn't demand extensive physical training, it promotes a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise. Strengthening your body and enhancing your cardio not only improves your overall fitness but also enhances your ability to apply the self-defense skills you acquire.
Break Stereotypes and Empower Yourself
Limiting self-defense training to women-only classes reinforces outdated stereotypes that women can only defend against other women. Our co-ed classes challenge these notions, encouraging you to be empowered and resilient in facing threats from individuals of any gender.
Foster Camaraderie and Community
Beyond individual empowerment, our self-defense classes build a sense of community. You'll form strong connections with your classmates, working together to develop skills that ensure collective safety. This supportive environment enhances your learning experience and builds lasting bonds.
Ensure Safety in a Respectful Environment
We prioritize your safety and respect within our co-ed classes. Our structured approach ensures a secure learning environment where you can focus on skill development without the worry of harm. We always use protective equipment, such as Thai pads, kicking shields and focus mitts to ensure optimal safety during your training. Learning self-defense should be an empowering and safe experience for everyone.
Understand the Limitations of Women-Only Classes
While well-intentioned, women-only classes can create a false sense of security. Real-life self-defense requires preparation for diverse threats. Our co-ed classes provide a more comprehensive training experience, equipping you to handle various situations effectively.
Commit to Long-Term Learning
Short-term seminars often lack the depth needed for practical self-defense skills. Our membership-based model offers the time and commitment required to develop and internalize effective techniques. Self-defense is a continuous journey, and our approach ensures gradual and comprehensive skill development.
