Hotel Information

Tommy’s school, Combatives-USA Self-Defense Training Center is only 10 miles from JFK International Airport. The area is surrounded by affordable hotels.

Information about the area

New York City is “city that never sleeps.” From JFK Airport you can take the subway into Manhattan. After class have dinner in Little Italy or China Town, or just grab a hot dog from a street cart and walk around Rockefeller Center. Come a day early or stay a day later after the seminar and see sights like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Empire State Building or Ground Zero. There are many attractions to see, and one of the reasons why Jim Wagner teaches in this area once a year.
