Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts

Tiger Schulman is great at karate, but even better at making a buck. If you take a class at Tiger Schulman you must wear their officially licensed gear. And it isn't cheap.

i have been enrolled in the Wayne Tiger Schulmann (TSMMA) for 5 months. i really enjoy it. while the TSMMA does have a partially deserved reputation for being pricey,there is the other side of the coin. In other dojos students have additional costs like testing fees, guest sensei fees not to mention being required to teach in order to be promoted. TSMMA has none of that nonsense. The instructors are top notch and really care about their students learning. They also are trained in nutrition and sports injuries and are happy to help students in that regard. Each class is taught by a certified black belt Sensei and not a lower belt student.

While the road to blackbelt is harder and longer than in other styles, you know it means more coming from TSMMA. Like with anything else in this life, you only get out of it what you put in it.

The equipment can be pricey but you get what you pay for. Safety comes first. There is also a lot more free sparring and bagwork than at other dojos. There are ways to save on equipment and tuition if one puts their mind to it.

TSMMA has a standup bag for every 2 students. Unlike other dojos that only have one bag for the entire class.

Popular music is played during a workout so students feel pumped. I love it and intend on being there a long time.

I started Tiger Schulman’s in September of 2011, looking for a way to gain muscle and get back into shape. Tiger Schulman’s has put me in the best shape of my life. I was very satisfied with the workout regimen which begins with a light warm-up and ends with relaxing stretches which I have now learned it is the most important part. The excellence of their program is only outshined by the amazing efforts of their dedicated staff who are always friendly and motivating. Tiger Schulman’s treats you like family and everyone there works together to motivate each other to get the best work out every day. I enjoy it so much that I enrolled my son (16), daughter (20), niece (18), and two nephews (16, 13) into the classes. In a year, my children have gotten stronger and are prepared to defend themselves in any situations. I even partner up with them on the bag sometimes and make a competition of who can keep up with the other. Tiger Schulman has also taught us how to eat healthier and make healthier choices by having a 90 day fitness challenge. So far my son has gained the muscle he was looking for and my daughter is losing weight each week. I have gained so much energy, a better heart rate, and am eating healthier because of the 90 day challenge. There are so many reason why I have stayed at Tiger Schulman’s for years now; the main reason is simply that it is a lot of fun. The combinations and cardio are changed every week so you are never bored. It is a great way to build muscle, become flexible and relieve stress. We go to class because we want to and are excited to, not because we have to. Tiger Schulman’s has made getting into shape easy and fun. It has changed our lives for the better.

If you're looking for a place that challenges you with your workout, Tiger Schulmann's is the place to go! I've been training along with my son at the Wayne location for a couple years now. Not only am I in better shape than I've been in for quite some time, but I've learned amazing self-defense techniques. The program not only incorporates the martial arts, it focuses on a complete body workout. In a one hour class Sensei Zapfel touches upon proper technique, cardio, strength and flexibility - giving a complete, interval training workout. We are currently starting a 90 day nutrition program to coincide with our training to help promote a completely healthy lifestyle. You can't get this at a gym. Along with Sensei and Joshu, our fellow students are there to help one another improve themselves - one class at a time! I encourage anyone to make the investment in themselves - it is worth every penny!!

Every class is exciting and rewarding. Sensei Zapfel pushes all of us to learn to motivate ourselves through the benefits of self discipline and confidence. Even after over 7 years, I still get a great workout and I come away learning something new about the art and myself.

The Staff are incredibly compassionate and personal. Joshu Adler obviously commits a legitimate care for each of the students and Sensei trains you personally on every drill to know it inside and out. If the high energy of the classes weren't enough, we always seem to get an in depth conditioning and stretching session after every class complete with Sensei imparting a little wisdom about the class, nutrition, fitness, and life in general. They're really like family to me.
