About

NM Academy of Survival Martial Arts is a martial arts school in Jersey City offering training in Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Kung Fu, and Jiu Jitsu. The academy serves both adults and children, with a particular focus on adult self-defense classes. The school aims to build self-confidence through practical martial arts training designed for real-world situations.

The academy's philosophy centers on Jeet Kune Do, which the school describes as being founded by Bruce Lee around 1965 and designed specifically to help people win confrontations and be prepared for whatever may come. The school's studios are designed with this practical purpose in mind. Instruction is led by Sifu Nelson Mendez, who was trained by Paul Vunak and has taught Jeet Kune Do since the mid-1980s.
