About MATC

Chí’s Martial Arts is Long Islands’ premier Martial Arts School. We currently have over 350 students training in our ultra modern 2,800 sq. ft. facility, with classes for every age group.

For more than a decade, we’ve been committed to building and developing our students to become the best they can possibly be. As a student trains to become a CMA Black Belt Champion, they will experience progress, growth and change in the classroom and in many areas of their lives. Many students have reported to us that their increased level of physical fitness and the confidence they’ve gained through their Martial Arts experience has allowed them to perform better at work, in school and at home. We hope that you will find our staff of Black Belt Instructors to be a very positive influence on your life.

Our Main Objective is to provide you with high quality Martial Arts instruction in a positive, safe and encouraging environment. Our innovative teaching methods and unique curriculum are designed to allow you to learn in a step-by-step fashion. Over the course of your training you will be gradually exposed to a variety of extremely effective blocks, strikes and self-defense techniques that will give you confidence and a very high level of overall physical fitness.

Magulang Na Guro Dan Inosanto & Charles Chí

Jeet Kune Do was not an end in itself for Bruce--Nor was it a mere by-product of his martial studies; it was a means to self discovery. JKD was a prescription for personal growth; it was an investigation of freedom--freedom not only to act naturally and effectively in combat, but in life. In life, we absorb what is useful and reject what is useless, and add to experience what is specifically our own. No art is superior to any other. That is the object lesson of Jeet Kune Do, to be unbound, to be free: in combat to use no style as style, to use no way as the way, to have no limitation as the only limitation. Neither be for or against a particular style. In other words, Jeet Kune Do 'just is'.
