I have been training with Sifu Chris for over 2 years now. I had taken karate many years ago with a few different instructors. Chris is not only an excellent Jeet Kune Do instructor, but also the most calm and ego‑less individuals I have had the pleasure of being trained by. His teaching style combines technical knowledge with patience and clarity. Every class feels purposeful, and shows how practical JKD is as a martial art.
Chris pushes you to do better in a controlled way, which is incredibly important for all ages.
I highly recommend Chris and his teaching of JKD.
Had a great experience working with instructor Chris for the last few months. Being a beginner at kickboxing, I received fundamental training which focused on application in real-world situations. Moreover, the training involved great attention to building balanced strength and flexibility for the body, which makes it great for people overcoming health challenges and hoping to strengthen their bodies. I really appreciate how Chris is able to gauge the level of my body’s capabilities and guide me through healthy progress. Highly recommend giving it a try if you are looking to learn some basic self-defense skills.
Sifu Chris Moran is a phenomenal teacher.
I came to JKD NYC after having trained in Thai boxing and MMA at several high level gyms in NYC and Long Island, and I was immediately hooked. Chris's teaching style, wealth of knowledge and positive attitude make his classes stand out from the rest. There are no big egos and the focus is always on learning new skills and improving old ones in a way that works for you as an individual.
I have been taking group classes with JKD NYC for a year now and I would highly recommend them to people of all skill levels and backgrounds. If you are looking to learn mixed martial arts from a top-notch instructor, develop important self-defense skills and get in shape, this is the place for you.
I highly recommend JKD NYC for individuals of all skill sets, to those just learning a fighting style to those advanced in other practices. It is worth attending one class, or just doing a trial private session with Chris to get a feel for his style and all the great things his program has to offer. You will not regret it!
Chris is one of a kind. He not only trains his students in both the physical and technical requirements of JKD, but focuses on the mental side as well. He is also very humble, easy to get along with and creates a warm comforting environment for all of his students. I have been taking private sessions with Chris for close to two years now and it is what I look forward to most in my week.
The fighting style itself is a common sense approach to fighting utilizing the best techniques and approaches from all different forms of fighting. It is a great workout, fun at the same time, and you learn some amazing practical skills that can be utilized in the real world! I cannot recommend it enough, and for those curious about JKD, it is worth just reaching out to Chris and he will happily introduce you to his approach!
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!
