From the reviews
We have 2 grandsons who attended Mr. Burns Academy. One from age 3 to 8 when he obtained his 1st degree Black Belt. Without doubt one of the best investments we have made in their future. The self confidence and character building have paid major dividends in the successful young men they have become.
Mr.Burns is an amazing instructor and has an awesome team! Kyle Burns is my brother and we grew up doing taekwondo together at the old studio. He has always loved the practice and wanted to be there learning more- it was a natural fit for him to be where he is with his studio as owner and instructor!
Fantastic martial arts program. Instructor Kyle Burns is a former student of the academy now turned instructor and owner. He is great with kids of all ages, teaches them not only martial arts, but also important life skills such as integrity, self control, perseverance and honor.
Both of my young children go here and we LOVE it. Mr. Burns and Mr.Tuell are exceptional with conducting a structured class that teaches skills and respect, all while making it fun and engaging for the students. My kids ask me to go to tae kwon do daily!
Your first Krav Maga class at Great Neck Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a Krav Maga school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling a few core techniques with a partner — controlled and at your own pace, not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — there's no uniform or special gear you need to buy to get started. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — most schools have everything else you'll need for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call what to bring. Pressure-testing eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid — you won't be sparring hard on day one. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
