Kickboxing Classes in New York

What is Kickboxing?

Even though it has been heavily adapted by many countries and independent martial artists as time has passed, kickboxing techniques have been around for thousands of years. This form of combat encompasses a wide variety of kicks and punches designed to be used both on offense and defense. Pieces of the fighting style have been pulled from others like karate, Muay Thai, boxing, Jeet Kune Do, and many more.

Martial artists who take kickboxing classes learn a handful of strikes with both their upper and lower bodies including:

Jabs
Crosses
Hooks
Uppercuts
Elbows
Front kicks
Roundhouse kicks
Side kicks
Knees
Many more

Benefits of Our Kickboxing Classes

Following a similar trend to the other types of mixed martial arts that are part of Jeet Kune Do (JKD), kickboxing techniques make a steady appearance. Created by Bruce Lee over years of study, JKD is one of the most effective fighting styles in the world. Our kickboxing classes in NYC offer a range of advantages to each person who comes to NY Martial Arts Academy for their training.

Burn Calories

One of the most common kickboxing benefits that bring people to our school is the chance to get in shape. A large number of our current students left their gym memberships behind looking for a chance to mix their exercise routine in a fun, engaging environment. Drop the heavy weights and hop on our training floor for a new way to sweat.

Mental Health Benefits

While the physical perks of a kickboxing workout may be a bit more obvious, our instructors also pay close attention to the mental and emotional needs of our students. Each of our kickboxing lessons focuses on reducing stress, boosting confidence, and even promoting socialization. The atmosphere around our JKD kickboxing classes is disciplined but also offers a laid back space where people can make new friends.

Defend Yourself

Unfortunately, situations arise when people are intimidated, bullied, or even attacked during their life. Our adult kickboxing classes are designed to help you get in shape while also giving you tools necessary to stand up for yourself if you’re ever put in a tough situation. Learn elements of how to kickbox and gain self-defense skills as you proceed through our Jeet Kune Do lessons.

My son has been training at New York Martial Arts Academy for a few months and absolutely loves it! The students learn to focus, follow directions and coordination all while having fun with other kids their age! The children also have discussions about topics such as discipline, politeness, respect, etc. If you are looking for a martial arts school that respects all students and works one to one with them to help them improve their form, look no further. I highly recommend New York Martial Arts Academy! Phyllis Trilivas | Queens

My son has been attending classes here for two years and I only have the best to say! He has learned so much and loves going each time which is a testament to the amazing coaches and staff. We will be going for years to come! Dimitra Stellatos | Queens

My daughter and I couldn’t be happier with our experience at NY Martial Arts Academy. She is treated with respect and also shown how to treat others with respect along with learning important self defence which I’m sure will lead to boosted confidence in the long run. Such a great place for kids to attend! Kimberly Ross | Brooklyn

My son has been attending NYMAA for over a 1.5 year and overall he has gained more confidence, discipline, and love his classes. We had the pleasure of working with many of their Sifus and they are all amazing. Special thanks to Sifu Chuck, Sara, Carlos, James and everyone else that my son has worked with. We started doing private classes and then switched to group classes. Great place to have your child gained discipline and learned martial arts. Marcia S | Astoria

I am extremely pleased with instructors Sifu James, Sifu Carlos and Sifu Dino. My son has participated in their classes for the past 3 months now. have noticed a great change in my son's school work and how motivated he is to come to class! They are the best of the best!!!!! Would recommend for all ages! Víctor Santamaria | Astoria

My daughter loves it here, and I can see improvements in her character. Lenny Lam | Astoria

I've been training here for almost 3 years now and it has allowed me to meet great people and form strong bonds with the people I train with. It's a great environment to learn martial arts because not only are you surrounded by good people, you also have a lot of fun training as the instructors tend to crack jokes throughout the classes. Great place get in a hard training session, and a real confidence booster as you will be pushed to your limits and be encouraged by the instructors and your teammates to continue despite being tired. Great instructors that know their stuff and will explain why we do certain techniques or drills a certain way. More importantly than that, it's great for personal growth as it also tends to highlight the more philosophical aspect of Bruce Lee and martial arts as a whole. mcgregor conner | Queens

I have been a student at New York Martial Arts Academy for about 10 years and it is such an amazing opportunity to be a part of this school! All of the instructors are very knowledgeable and are always there to help you. You can tell that all of the instructors love what they do and they want to see us become the best version of ourselves, both on and off the training floor. The instructors and students at New York Martial Arts Academy have created such a welcoming and fun environment for anyone to learn martial arts in. I would definitely recommend training at New York Martial Arts Academy! Angela Gallo | Queens

When I was looking for a martial arts to try, for the first time ever, I was very nervous especially starting at the age of 30 and not having had any prior experience. Starting from day one I felt comfortable with the trainer who was amazingly patient, had a positive attitude and didn’t make me feel self conscience about my inability to land a half decent kick. But after attending for many months I started to get the hang of it. The instructors here as well as my fellow students who I have the privilege to train with are top notch. The culture is amazing, you will never feel out of place and the teachers here are absolutely amazing, they will provide you with all the tools you need and all the attention you need to make sure you succeed and achieve your goals. I Highly recommend you check this place out! Dan B | Queens

I've been a martial arts practitioner for 12 years now, and have trained in different countries around the world. New York Martial Arts Academy has, by far, the best facilities of any school I've been a member of. The instruction is top tier as well. I haven't met an instructor here that doesn't have at least 10 years of experience. You can tell that they all really love what they do. Whether your goal is to get in shape and have some fun, fight in a cage, or defend yourself in the street, NYMAA will be able to accommodate.

One of the things that most impressed me about the school was the camaraderie between students. You won't find cliques here. Advanced students are encouraged to help newer members, and I've never seen anyone be disrespectful or intentionally try to hurt anyone else.

If you want to learn a skill that helps your confidence, increases your fitness, allows you to be able to defend yourself, and make some good friends at the same time, then I would de initely recommend checking out NYMAA. eassae | Queens

Growing up, I have always admired Bruce Lee's unique fighting style, so I was extremely happy when I finally found a Martial Arts Academy that based their instruction on jeet kune do. I have tried several different academies, and I can proudly say that none of them met the exceptional experience that I received from NYMAA. In here, the instructors, staff, and even students form a team based on mutual respect, creating a great atmosphere. I also love how the instructors pride themselves in teaching their students a new way of life rather than just self-defense. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in seeking new opportunities to better their life. Elke Xenophontos | Queens

Joining was the best decision I've ever made. It's 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. Richard Boehm | Long Island
