RAT fighting system seminar was great. It is a very welcoming ambience. A lot to learn and fun. It is worth to give it a try. JKDNYC team made a good work making everyone to feel at home. It is in the heart of NYC easy access by subway.Please get on the next seminar.
Fantastic school. Chris really breaks down the nuances of Contemporary JKD and makes it accessible to everyone. I've been around many other schools and martial arts for years and can say that JKD NYC has elevated my game.
Great seminar, great times. At some point, it would be also great to add some punching and kicking techniques, I think. Otherwise, it went great and I really enjoyed the warm atmosphere and great techniques shared by instructors Chris, Martial, Angel and others! Knife sparring was a great fun, too!
I've been training at JKD NYC for a couple of months now and I can definitely say that it's been a rewarding experience. Even though I was a beginner when I started, Chris and the rest of the team really took the time to make sure I understood what we were learning and its application. What really makes the school standout is the mindset: "is what we're learning effective for actually defending yourself?" Chris really strives to teach what works and you learn what's practical in a fight whether it's knife defense, standing up, or on the ground. Everyone at the school is nice too and are more than willing to stay with you after class to help you out with something you're struggling with. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn real self-defense, regardless of skill level, in a friendly, professional environment.
Such a great class. I wanted to learn not only to box, but self defense too. JKD provided the perfect combination of an all around fitness, martial arts, and self defense program. Since starting I've also dropped a good amount of weight and noticed more lean definition. The classes are welcoming, everyone is friendly, very helpful, and it doesn't even feel like you're working out! You're having so much fun learning that an hour flies by in an instant! I highly recommend. JKD is my #1 fitness spot.
I've been training for 2 years with the crew and there is still so much more to learn. We are taught to adapt the skills we learn to the situation presented to us, and we learn to sharpen our judgement of the surroundings. I am more confident and resilient during (unavoidable) confrontation, and I owe this to my training at this martial arts studio!

Whether seeking self preservation or transitioning from sport fighting to dirty combat, JKD-NYC offers a contemporary version of Bruce Lee's JKD.
You will find this entire group from our Sifu Chris Moran, Cam & Johnny down through the different levels of students to be a humble community. Everyone is hands on with each other so you won't feel ignored. But privates are available if you crave more.
There is a great deal of respect here, therefore no one is trying to hurt you. Everyone's path is to connect their mind & body on a deeper level than just reactions. And the dots will connect if you can be patient with yourself. But even if you don't grasp the physical stuff swiftly, you will gain an in depth understanding of situational awareness while in turn developing your self awareness.
You can find yourself training with the likes of actors, surgeons, Law Enforcement, dancers and guys training in MMA at times.
This isn't a fitness trend or sport fighting, fitness gains just happen to be a bonus. There are bonuses like the workshops and outings as well. But you'll have to stick around if you want in on all of that!
As stated fake JKD not authentic, this is more like a social club doing when I grow up I wanna do JKD..the teaching has no connection to authenticate instruction( very important for reputation) no certified instructors under liniage ... recommendation, search a school with real instruction not a Mcdojo..
_____
Fake JKD, not authentic, not even close this is not even in leniage with legitimate JKD trained instructors. I would not invest in this. It's a glorified Karate club at best. Do not sogn up for for this mess
I've been training with Chris for about a year and have had an amazing experience. His training is not just practical but rewarding. Best workout ever and I feel more confident with more energy. Seriously the best boxing / mixed martial arts instructor out there

I have been training at JKD NYC for about 2 years now and I have never been to a better school. I have trained in Wing Chun, Karate, and JKD at other schools throughout my life and nothing compares to the kind of hands on/real time training I have acquired from JKD NYC. Chris and his fellow instructors will work with you as an individual no matter what your skill level and you are more then just a student at this school. At JKD NYC you become part of a family that looks out for one another. Martial Arts and especially JKD schools should not just be for the skill of fighting but should also allow you to feel embraced and understood as a human being. JKD NYC will not only give you the best hands on training you have ever experienced but it will give you the mental ability to deal with a vast array of real life situations involving everyday life. IF you are looking for a family of respectful, knowledgable, well trained, and hard working individuals then JKD NYC should be your next and final stop.
Great place to learn how to fight and keep yourself fit in the process. The environment is relaxed, friendly and respectful. You'll find people with varied backgrounds in martial arts and combat sports (all of them without egos). Chris, Cam and Johnny are top notch instructors all of them patient and knowledgeable. The curriculum itself is pretty unique, since in a single class you can go from knife fighting, to grappling, to boxing and even 2 vs 1 sparring. Group and private classes are available.

Excellent, highly skilled instructors who are interested in your individual progression. Sifu Chris Moran is an exceptional teacher and leader. He knows exactly how to break something down to your skill level and will work with you until you understand how to do it and how to use it. Group classes are a good size. Not large so individual attention is always there. You will not get lost. They will see you, they will pull you aside and make sure you get what you are there for.
Pros
-Great teachers
-Shared equipment available at no extra cost
-Easy to get to by train
-Good atmosphere. Good people with good attitudes (No big egos...not that Chris wouldn't put them in their place...)
-Diverse students from many backgrounds and many skill levels. Lots to learn!
-Private classes available (small group and one-on-one)
-Very flexible schedules for privates
Cons
-gym can get really hot and humid esp in summer
-shared equipment smell...I bring my own but they're there when you need them!
-no morning/afternoon group classes (at the time of this review)

This JKD school is freaking awesome! I really enjoy how they teach us martial art with a type of mentality and techniques that is practical in a real street fight. The instructors are really good and they really take their time teaching us! And i really love how we spar in the end of every class. It help us try what we learned in real time, and see what works and what does not work for you.
I have been regularly attending Chris Moran's JKD classes for over six months and the experience has been amazing. If you are already black belt in some martial art, you will definitely learn new things. If you have no experience and just want to get in shape, the classes will be perfect for you too!
The atmosphere is calm and fun and Chris and his instructors are all extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend the group classes and the private lessons have been excellent for honing what I have learned. If you are looking to train martial arts in NYC, definitely try a class! Ten thumbs up!
JKD was great for me.
The instructors spend time with you and actually work with your form/ technique. The class sizes are just about right. Everyone who attends is very supportive and always willing to help you learn and improve. The atmosphere is serious but also a lot of fun.
After rowing competitively in college, working out just to stay in shape unfortunately did not motivate me. I tried several gyms and eventually really liked fitness boxing. However, 2 years ago when I moved back to NYC after being away for 17 years, I decided it was time to learn a 'real' fighting art, in order to learn skills and feel as if I could protect myself. I can't express how happy I was to have found a place like JKD NYC. Going in, there were 2 things I was worried about. One: since I had never trained in any fighting art, I was worried I wouldn't find a place willing to train raw beginners. Two: being a woman, I was worried about training with men, as they could possibly be annoyed at having to train with a less strong person (I have experienced this in the past). None of this is true at JKD. Every person, no matter the skill level, treats every other person with respect and challenges them to become better. This is of course because the owner, Chris Moran, and the other amazing instructors (Cam and Evan) foster an atmosphere of friendly competitiveness. I have done a mixture of group and personal training sessions - sometimes even having to take a couple of months off because of work conflicts. I am always delighted to return and continue building my skills.
