The New York Fight Club was established in 1999 by Bill Pavlik. New York Fight Club is not about belts or ceremonies, ring sports or competing in tournaments. It's not about Karate, Kung- fu, Tae-kwon-Do or any individual style, and it is certainly not about rules. We are a no nonsense group dedicated to teaching realistic fighting and self defense. We teach street fighting tactics, and functional
weapons training to acquiring the psychological killer instinct to survive a fight. We give you the weapons you need to live your life with awareness and confidence. Our believe is that no one single style has it all. You must train accordingly to the situation. Is it a stand up fight, is it a ground fight, is it a knife being pulled on you, are you fighting on a elevator with no room or a crowded night club, are you fighting more then one person? Each one of these scenarios you would need to adapt and fight accordingly. In order to do that we use the concepts of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Martial Arts. JKD uses methods and concepts of the following. Thai Boxing -- The most brutal stand up / close range fighting known to man. Eskrima Kali -- The most lethal Blade - knife fighting system in the world
Wing Chun -- The most practical and effective approach to occupying center line
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu -- The most dominate ground fighting methods in the world
And much more!!
