Who Can Benefit From Martial Arts Classes?

Martial arts is not only a means of self defense, but also a great way to exercise and get complete peace of mind through mental focus. Many people procrastinate going to the gym each day and disregard their physical (and mental) health because life typically gets in the way. However, keeping these both in a constant state of engagement should be a major priority to achieve total balance. When you think of martial arts, you may think that you have to start young and be able to do cartwheels of all sorts. Not true! At NY Martial Arts Academy, we work with people of all ages to train them in the ancient practice of martial arts. 

Adults
It’s never too late to start learning martial arts! We teach the art of Jeet Kune Do at our academy, which focuses on totality and was actually created by Bruce Lee himself! It reduces stress, is a fresh alternative from the gym and can be done at any age! We start you off slow to allow you to build up your skillset and keep you engaged.

Children 
Instead of the traditional after school programs, why not keep your child fit, focused and confident? Teaching children martial arts at a young age allows them to have self-discipline, inner strength, mental focus and self confidence that translates to all aspects of life (school, relationships, family dynamics and more). It’s a great way to keep them active and learning instead of playing video games!
