We have had such a wonderful experience at Tiger Schulmann’s. My 5-almost-6-year-old daughter absolutely loves coming to class, and we have seen so much growth in her confidence, discipline, and focus. Ms. Elaine and Sensei are truly amazing—so attentive, patient, and caring while still teaching strong discipline and respect. We are so grateful for the positive environment they create and feel lucky to be part of the Tiger Schulmann’s family.

Very attentive to the students and teaches kids practical martial arts. They emphasize life lessons of not being a bully and how to defend themselves against bullies. This is not a McDojo, they teach kids boxing, grappling and then kickboxing. The instructors are well versed in mixed martial arts and as a parent you will see results. They frequently challenge the kids and have tournaments within And outside the school. The goal is to always challenge the kids and have them break out of their shell and become confident kids.
