Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Greenpoint, NY)

Can’t speak highly enough about Tiger Shulmann’s school. My 10-year-old has been going there for the last month and it’s been wonderful. I got a great feeling from day one when they let me know that they are experienced in working with kids who have a lot of energy but might also be hard to wrangle. After one month of martial arts, my child is happier and more disciplined. He loves everything that they’re teaching them and has a real appreciation for the instructors. I get a good feeling from everyone who I’ve met so far, from the manager to the instructors. Really happy that I discovered Tiger Shulmann‘s and I hope this review might lead you there to see similar results in yourself or your child.

My 4-year-old daughter absolutely loves Tiger Martial Arts, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. One of the things I appreciate most is the flexibility, they offer three different days each week to choose from, which makes scheduling so much easier for busy families. The instructors are truly amazing. They’re patient, encouraging, and know exactly how to keep young kids engaged while still teaching discipline and focus. P. looks forward to every class! The facility is always spotless and well-organized, with plenty of space for the kids to move around safely. It feels like a genuinely positive and welcoming environment.

I can’t say enough good things about this school. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s a place that truly cares about its students. The head instructor and owner is knowledgeable, hands-on, and genuinely invested in everyone’s growth, both on and off the mats. Under the new management, the school feels refreshed, intentional, and extremely well run. The facility is always spotless, which says a lot about the standards they hold themselves to. The community here is super supportive, friendly, welcoming, and full of people who care about each other. You’re not just another member; you’re held accountable in the best way possible and pushed to stay consistent with your training. I especially appreciate that this program isn’t just a great workout, it’s also about learning self-defense, discipline, and overall self-improvement. It feels very empowering. I’ve also observed that for the kids program, it’s clear that the focus goes far beyond just martial arts. The instructors genuinely care about teaching kids discipline, confidence, respect, and real life skills. If you’re looking for a clean, welcoming school with high-quality instruction, a strong sense of community, and leadership that truly cares, this is the place to be. Highly recommend.

Our 12-year-old son has been attending kickboxing classes for several months now (kids and teenager level) and really enjoys it! He goes twice a week, and his skills are improving quickly. Everton does an excellent job teaching skills, patience, and focus, and makes the classes fun for the kids (he sometimes includes a game at the beginning or end of the class). Overall, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and supportive, and communications by text is quick and easy (which I prefer over phone). Also big plus: The gym is clean, smells great (fun fact! haha), and has large, very clean bathrooms. We’re very happy with TS Greenpoint and highly recommend it to anyone looking for kickboxing classes for kids and teenagers! P.S. I see some older negative reviews here, but management has changed since then, so we're lucky to start with the new management in place.

I love this place, the instructors are amazing and patient with the children. You can sit and watch your kid get valuable lessons and individual attention. This is great to have your kid, I’m thinking about joining myself once my kid is of age to start.
