I have been training with Sifu Paul DeNunzio for a little over 8 months now and it's been a wonderful experience. I was excited to expand my martial arts knowledge to Jeet Kune Do since I had a little bit of background in Thai Box and Kickboxing. Paul is very passionate about all kinds of martial arts and a great trainer. He is very attentive, patient and encouraging. He helped me regain focus and improve my mental and physical health. He is always available to answer my questions and to provide personalized exercises to fit my skill set level. His private lessons are fantastic! I graduated to First Level in October and I'm looking forward to get to the next level! Thank you Paul!

Recently started training with JKD Academy. I have never done martial arts training in my life. Really enjoy the class and I am learning so much about this martial art. Sifi Paul has been great to work with teaching practical self-defense that quickly becomes offense when you need it. So glad I found this academy.

I have been taking classes for a little over a year and I can without a doubt say that taking classes has easily been one of best decisions I've ever made. Sifu Paul is a great instructor he's patient,funny,and passionate,because of him I rediscovered my love for martial arts and gotten more confidence and mental stability. Jeet kune do has taught me more than fighting/defending its taught me to always be myself.

I started taking Jeet Kune Do at the beginning of April. I must say it is an awesome class. I look forward to every class that I attend especially the private lessons. It is a lot of fun to me and Paul is an excellent instructor. He is very straight-forward, laid-back, encouraging and really wants you learn Jeet Kune Do the right way. Thank you Paul.

I recently took the women's self defense course and it was great! Paul is really knowledgeable and friendly. He made the class fun and was good at explaining and demonstrating the different techniques. I'm really glad I took the class and look forward to learning more from Paul!
