Testimonials from parents and adult students describe NY Martial Arts Academy as a place where children and adults receive instruction in Jeet Kune Do and related arts, with comments about cooperative classes, a friendly but no-nonsense teaching style, and a fun environment. One testimonial from a mother and student notes that her children have been attending since 2006 and that she later joined the Jeet Kune Do program herself. Another testimonial from a law enforcement officer highlights Jeet Kune Do as a realistic art that takes a scientific approach to self defense based on the human body and the laws of physics, and mentions seminars with JKD practitioners Ted Wong and Chris Kent hosted by the school.
