If your looking for a realistic street orientated self defense look no further this is the place period! I've been training jkd with Sifu Richard Torres for over 6 years and have learned so many useful techniques and philosophy behind realistic self defense /protection this is not your normal mma sport oriented fighting system this is practical protection of yourself and loved ones dealing with multiple attackers and how to act and react to dangerous situations I'm very happy to have found this school and am proud Sifu Richard Torres is my instructor.

The Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts Inst is an excellent place to learn martial arts. The people who attend the school are amazing and always friendly, the instructors and of course Sifu Richard Torres are excellent in their craft. This is a legitimate place to learn real martial arts and street survival skills. Bruce Lees legacy is done justice.

I have been training at JKDMAI for over 15 years and can't say enough good things about it. Top notch curriculum taught by top notch instructors in a friendly comfortable environment. A true home away from home. I urge anyone looking to learn reality based self defense or someone who wants to become the best fighter they can be to come on down and train at Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts Institute!

If you are interested in real authentic jun fan jeet Kune Do, then the Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts Institute in Fishkill, New York is the school you should look into. Head instructor, Sifu Richard Torres, has over 40 years of martial arts experience, studying with Bruce Lee's original students ranging from Dan Inosanto to Ted Wong. There is no other place on the east coast that teaches Bruce Lee's scientific street fighting. Take the opportunity to learn effective and and practical self defense before it's too late!

Tremendous school with excellent instruction. As with most martial arts schools these days I approached it with a certain degree of skepticism. This was quickly erased upon meeting Sifu Torres and the rest of the instructors at the school. Sifu Torres has a direct, traceable lineage to Ted Wong; who was Bruce Lee's training partner and friend. This was a comforting factor knowing that what I would be taught would be legitimate and not fabricated. As my time in the school continues to elapse I am forever grateful for having come across this school. It has positively contributed to my life as both a martial artist and as a person. All the instructors and students are genuinely there for each others progression and well being. Everyone wants to see the next person succeed. I highly recommend this school for anyone wishing to improve upon themselves. The tools are in place for you to succeed here. All you need to do is show up. . .

I have recently reached my 5 year anniversary of being a student at this school and I've learned so much about JKD and the martial arts life style. Sifu Richard Torres is an excellent teacher and is very knowledgable of real Jeet Kune Do. He gives good insight on what makes JKD different than other arts. He is very passionate about the school and loves to see dedication within his students. The school attracts a friendly part of the community and has created a home away from home for me. I've made a lot of new friends and most importantly I have a lot of fun! I don't regret a single class I've been to and recommend this school to anyone who would want to learn self defense.

I've been a student for several years, and had my children study here, too. This is the best school to learn realistic self defense. Sifu Richard Torres is an excellent teacher, along with all the other certified instructors in this school. The students are supportive of one another, and classes are fun as well as very informative. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves in any situation.

I have been going to this school for a few years now and the knowledge I have learned here has been more practical and fun than anything I have learned in high school. The combat skills and Philosophy I have learned have helped me in some tuff situations. The friends and relationships I have made at the JKD school have been some of the best I have ever had. Sifu Richard Torres is a amazing instructor and knows how yo teach each person personally and helps guide you to a better Marshall and philosophical standing in life.

I started Jeet Kune do 6 years ago because I was always a fan of martial arts and Bruce lee himself. I have come to enjoy the not only the art but the for the school, the students ( which have become family) and the knowledge that Sifu has due to the teachings of Ted Wong. I will continue my learning for many more years to come. This school is amazing and would recommend it to anyone looking for a martial arts school. There are no others like it.

I have been attending this school for 15 years. As of this writing, the Jeet Kune Do School has been opened for 20 years and is the oldest martial arts school in Fishkill, New York and perhaps the Hudson Valley. They are the only authorized school to teach Jeet Kune Do, the martial art system founded by Bruce Lee. The Instructor is a 2nd Generation student of Bruce Lee, which makes us students, 3rd Generation from Bruce Lee. Everything taught in this school is for realistic self defense. I travel 1 1/2 hours just to train in this special school.

I use to study jkd here but had to stop due to moving. If you are close enough, don't bother looking for another art or school to join, this is IT!!
I have been training with Sifu Torres for nearly 30 years. He is the premier instructor of Bruce Lee's scientific street fighting method, Jeet Kune Do! If you want the best training for your dollar, then this is the place!!
