Modern Self Defense Center

I’ve been through 7 months of the Jeet Kune Do essentials program and the instructors are top notch; never a question they can’t answer! I chose the Jeet Kune Do essentials because it covers a wide variety of practical skills. The gym is full of friendly people who won’t fail to push you to do more. Everyone has been positive and has given the gym a ‘home-away-from-home” atmosphere. The gym is expanding all the time and is really becoming a playground for adults even though they have great kid’s programs. My experience has also been greatly enhanced by the special guests and additional trainings that are made available on a regular basis; like the awareness training given in the shopping mall! If you want to cover a wide variety of self defense practical basics, this is for you. John C

I have been training in martial arts on and on for years and never have I felt more welcome and comfortable than at Modern Self Defense Center. From the moment I walked in the door I was treated like I had been part of their family for years. I was given a private consultation to assess my abilities and at the first JKD class jumped right in. I was impressed with the variety of classes offered: Savate, BJJ, MMA , and JKD. The 7,000 square foot facility offers enough space for the wide variety of fighting styles, crossfit, and parkour classes. The staff and students I've met are great. So if you're looking for a no nonsense school to train and grow that most importantly doesn't have an ego than Modern Self Defense Center of Middletown will satisfy your training needs.
