Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Chelsea, NY)

Tiger Schulmann’s Chelsea was the perfect place for my daughter Delilah to come in and train. The school is so clean, the staff is great! She is definitely in the right place.

Joining Tiger Schulmann's Chelsea this Fall was probably the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I was looking to get involved with kickboxing after healing from an assault to feel more empowered in my body and regain physical strength/physique. I spent time researching many different brands, locations, etc, and this was the one I felt most aligned to for various reasons. I wanted a proper fighting gym, not just a cardio kickboxing class; a strong sense of community I felt a part of; to meet likeminded people and form friendships; shared values; and obviously a great workout. TSC fits the bill across all levels and more. From first contact, I was warmly welcomed by Joshu Mike and was taken aback at how genuinely warm, supportive, and uplifting every single person I interacted with is. I watched a class first and knew in that moment this was the place for me. I just felt like I belonged there. Every class is challenging, leaves me dripping in sweat, and feeling wildly accomplished. It's only been two months, but I've grown a lot physically, mentally, and emotionally on this new journey, and met so many great people who share similar values. I'm beyond grateful I found this community and for all the Joshu and Sensei who've been there every step of the way motivating, inspiring, and pushing me to grow and do things I never thought possible. I'm truly excited for all that is to come on my MMA journey. Cannot recommend this place more highly if you've been feeling that nudge to check out MMA. Osu!

Tiger Schulmann’s Chelsea has truly changed my life. From the moment I joined, the instructors made me feel welcome and encouraged. They push you to be your best, not just physically but mentally too. The atmosphere here is positive, motivating, and full of support — it feels like a real community. Since starting 1 year ago , I’ve gained more confidence, discipline, and a healthier lifestyle. I’m so grateful for everything this school has done for me.

I can’t say enough good things about Tiger Schulmann! I used to train here consistently about 10 years ago, but after having my son, moving, and changing jobs, life got in the way. Coming back has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The training is just as amazing as I remembered, challenging, motivating, and exactly what I need as I approach 40. The teachers are excellent, and I still see familiar faces like Sensei Good and Joshu Lyndell. The energy in class makes it feel worthwhile. Tiger Schulmann isn’t just workout; it’s training that builds discipline, strength, and confidence. I feel fully back, stronger than ever, and I can’t stop singing praises about this place. If you’re looking for a supportive environment to train, grow, and push yourself, this is it!

Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts Chelsea has become so much more than a gym for me. It’s a home. Curiosity got me through the door, but the community, the discipline, and the steady climb toward my better self are what keep me showing up. Each training has me being pushed right to my limits and then I'm taught how to navigate beyond them. The physical grind builds strength, the learning builds resilience, and those closing messages hit with surprising emotional force. One of Sensei’s reminders... to stay present instead of living in my last mistake or my next decision... landed so deeply that I wrote it into my phone notes to pull up whenever I need it. After a year here, I’m profoundly grateful I took a chance on this place... and on myself. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
