Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: Great workout! most people stay long term, many years, we become family.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Sensei Jimmy Rivera and Joshu Prentice at the Gramercy Park location since 2014. Within months of training I noticed having greater balance, toned arms and a stronger core. I'm impressed by how quickly the school pivoted to offering online classes shortly after the COVID-19 forced closure. First, through free YouTube videos, and then quickly spinning up classes via zoom. I'm super happy to continue advancing my skills at home, and particularly pleased with myself for gaining better control of the combination jump kick to spinning back kick... all in my small NYC apartment! Can't wait to try this technique when we're all back on the mat!

Fantastic experience: I love this place. Sensei Rivera really cares about his students and wants them all to be successful. The coaching is excellent and the class sizes are perfect. I highly recommend to anyone looking to get into MMA.

Fantastic experience: Best place to learn MMA

Fantastic experience: Love everyone at TSMA Gramercy . We’re like a big family . Very helpful, supportive and highly skilled professional instructors . Everyone is supportive of each other, we sweat together and get stronger together !! I Appreciate Sensei Jimmie Rivera , Joshu Aleen and Joshu Rodriguez. Osu! ❤️

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend this dojo.There is a family-friendly atmosphere and the kids love the classes. There is an anti-bullying program and they organize great parties for kids.

Fantastic experience: This is a great activity to build confidence and fitness. There is a lot of personal attention and continue to be fun and engaging.

Fantastic experience: The staffs and the instructors at Tiger Schulmann's are friendly and understanding. The kids learn to be more confident, discipline and believe in themselves. There karate classes are great and if the kids would like to take karate I recommend Tiger Schulmann's.

Fantastic experience: They always keep me motivated towards my goal! I love the camaraderie and all the instructors are amazing!

Fantastic experience: With Tiger Shulman Gramercy for a year. Nothing but a great experience. A very professional team that drives you to push yourself to get results. Thank you !

Fantastic experience: Great experience at Tiger Schulmann. Wouldn't train at any other gym. Excellent instructors and great place to get a good workout and learn MMA.

Fantastic experience: Anyone who has trained here can tell you that you will find a warm, supportive, and dedicated community of martial artists. After training here for around a year now, I can say that my fitness, martial arts knowledge, and self-confidence have all increased considerably. The facilities are spacious with modern equipment that's suitable for kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. The instructors and fellow students are what make the experience incredible. People across all fitness levels, ages, and skill sets train here; the instructors work with you personally to help you achieve your personal goals, whether that be to get in better shape, learn self-defense, or start competing in local martial arts tournaments/events. If you put the time in you will definitely see results!

Fantastic experience: Amazing organization. Holds you accountable to reaching your goals, and also a lot of fun!

Fantastic experience: My 8 year old daughter has been training with TS (Gramercy) for a little over a year now. I believe this program is extremely valuable for all ages and especially for children. My daughter is learning disciplines such as focus, self control, moral growth and the strengthening of her body. TSG is now a way of life for my child and a place where she can go, learn, and grow. The Sensei there runs a wonderful and professional program which would definitely benefit any child by building their confidence and strength. Lastly, can't forget the staff who are very knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. Today we feel very lucky to be a part of the TS Gramercy family and would not give it up for the world. Thanks TSG J. Acevedo

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this location on and off for a few years now and I love it! Everyone at the gym, staff and students, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The instructors really care about the progress you make and it is an amazing workout. I highly recommend Tiger Schulmann’s!

Fantastic experience: My son has been going here for about a year now and he loves it. He looks forward to seeing Joshu every week. The staff is amazing, and very friendly. He will be going here for many years to come. I really can’t say enough about this place. I would rate it 10 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Incredible Instructors and amazing gym atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructors and very disciplining classes! Always such great energy!

Fantastic experience: The staff here is simply awesome. Everyone from Sensei Jim, the Joshu's, and those working the floor are not only great instructors, but exceptional people. I'm proud that my daughter decided to train here and I wouldn't want it any other way. I HIGHLY recommend trying a class if one is interested.

Fantastic experience: Great place, amazing workout!

Fantastic experience: Tiger Schulmann is a great school for everyone. No matter what age you are. My son has been coming here for 3 years and continuing. My son has learn so much. Before Tiger Schulman, my son use to get picked on. But after 3 years of training at this school, his self-confidence have all increased considerably. He defends himself, not physically but verbally. Which is a plus for me and I love it! Everyone who is a student at this school, has the opportunity to participate in tournament style competitions (challenge of the champion) through-out the year in Jersey. When my son went to his first COC, he was very nervous and he was doubting himself he wouldn’t win. He guessed wrong. He didn’t make it to the top three, but he was so proud of himself that he knew deep down, he did great! Overall, this is a place to have a great a work-out, defensive skills that emulate mixed martial arts as well and seeking to be a part of something bigger. You will definitely feel like part of a TSMA family. Everyone is treated the same and will learn the same. Best Tiger Schulmann school my son and I ever been too. One last thing that i have to mention, this Tiger Schulman school has great instructors/staff that once you enter the school, they always greet us with a smile on their face. The way they teach and speak to their students, you know they want them to learn and see each one improve on them selves and in life in general.

Fantastic experience: It is an awesome place! Trainers are super super friendly and willing to do anything for their students, even getting hurt. Feel so bad for hurting them sometimes, but they are genuinely okay with it as long as I learn something. Awesome!

Fantastic experience: When I first came to Tiger Schulmann it didn’t feel like a place to just learn, train and understand Tiger Schulmann martial arts, it felt more like family. If you don’t come here what are you doing with yourself ?

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training for a few years. This was the best decision I’ve made. I love training and how I feel after. The staff/instructors are all so helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is very family oriented. I recommend Tiger Schulmann’s for anyone looking to relive stress, get in the best shape ever and self defense.

Fantastic experience: A workout I actually look forward to! This location has skilled and caring instructors who work directly with each individual to ensure everyone is getting the most out of each class! Since starting a few months ago, I have much more confidence and have found a great outlet for the stresses of every day life.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training for a few months now, but I’ve known about Tiger Schulmanns for years. My training have been amazing, the instructors and students are all so welcoming, friendly and feels like family. I highly recommend Tiger Schulmanns. Osu.

Fantastic experience: Happy to be part of this gym and this family. The instructors are serious about what they do but they also want to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: I been a part of Tiger for some time now and I must say I love all the staff and my fellow training partners. Everyone is so great and would highly recommend anyone to join. Plus it's a great way to get in shape and learn self defense.

Fantastic experience: TSMMA Gramercy has cultivated a positive community of martial artists with the goal of improving every day. Sensei Rivera and the rest of the team are dedicated instructors that hold students accountable and push everyone toward success. It doesn't matter how old you are... there are new lessons to learn at TSMMA Gramercy

Fantastic experience: Top notch instructors and a great environment. I highly recommend to anyone looking to study martial arts or anyone who’s looking for a great workout and isn’t a fan of lifting weights like myself

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been a student for 3 years and it's one of the best decisions I've made. She has great instructors. They're very patient with the kids and make sure they push them to do their best.

Fantastic experience: The schools teachers are very friendly and qualified. They create a friendly atmosphere with excellent classes ensuring everyone is improving and doing their best. They even take the time to answer students questions on their form after class and help them improve. The way they structure their classes makes it entertaining and feel like more of an exciting experience rather than a strenuous workout, however you are still getting an amazing workout sweating the whole time. They even have a 90 day challenge pushing you to get in the best shape you can while helping with nutrition every step of the way. Not only are the teachers great but so is the community of students who help each other each day during class. Tsma Gramercy is a great school and I would recommend to anyone interested in martial arts, or just people looking to get into shape and having a fun time while they do it.

Fantastic experience: My son and I are both students here and we absolutely love it. All of the instructors are kind, encouraging, and work exceptionally well with children. I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my sons confidence level and overall discipline. As for me, the classes are helping me release stress, get in shape and has now turned into a hobby. I always look forward to my training sessions!

Fantastic experience: I really love going to train after work it’s awesome self care for me. I feel like I’m a lot less stressed ever since I started training here. The instructors really encourage you and push you to grow as do other students there. It is such a friendly environment. I definitely recommend coming here and taking classes.

Fantastic experience: i got hooked from just one class.

Fantastic experience: My 9 year old son went for his first class and loved it. He can't wait to come back. The sensai was really engaging and made it fun for him.

Fantastic experience: The school offers an encouraging and uplifting environment for all its students. The variety of individuals and their respective goals provides everyone in the school with positive reinforcement. Training here, one can expect to be motivated by peers and by a remarkable instructor in Sensei Jimmie Rivera. Additionally, the rest of the staff and instructors promote confidence, tenacity, and non-quitting spirit not only in the kids but adults as well.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Tiger Schulman for six years now. I got involved with the school because I was seeking a different kind of work-out than the traditional gym which was getting repetitive. Over the years I have received much more than a work-out. I have gained confidence and discipline which I was able to apply in other areas of my life. I’ve learn practical martial arts that can be applied in real-life defensive situations and most importantly I have learned that I’m capable of much more than I had ever imagined. Sensei Rivera and his team truly care about the success of their students. They motivate us and hold us accountable for our training. This is more than a business to them, it’s a family. We also have the opportunity to practice what we learn by participating in tournament style competitions through-out the year. Would recommend Tiger Schulman for people looking for a great a work-out, defensive skills that emulate mixed martial arts as well and seeking to be a part of something bigger than just a gym membership.

Fantastic experience: Tiger Schulmann's is a top tier school that offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking to simply get in shape with high intensity workouts, learn martial arts and self-defense, or train to fight and compete in tournaments, this school's vast network and resources and world class instruction will equip you with the tools necessary to achieve your fitness and martial arts (specifically kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and mma) related goals. As a lover of all things fitness related I've hopped around quite a bit - from one gym to another, one sport to another. What makes Tiger Schulmann's special - and why I've been at this gym longer than any other - is the community of instructors and members who take time to care for one another. This is an environment in which you are sure to succeed, whatever your goals.

Fantastic experience: Having trained martial arts for most of my life, finding a gym in New York was a top priority upon moving to the states from Singapore. I'd done a couple of boxing classes at Rumble and Title but I found the sessions to be more focused on pushing the body to physical exhaustion instead of actually teaching proper striking techniques. TSgrammercy is the combination of both. You're not just clobbering at a heavy-bag aimlessly for 60 minutes, you're punching the bag with a purpose -- as you learn the fundamentals of how to strike. On top of that, you’re literally under the tutelage of one of the world’s best fighters in Sensei Rivera, along with other world class instructors. Whether it’s for self-defense, sport or just to work out, I’d highly recommend this gym to anyone living in Manhattan.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. I been going to this place almost a year. I am having so much fun here and the same time getting stronger. It such a great workout to get in the shape. Everyone here very welcoming and helpful.

Fantastic experience: The best and most complete workout you can have in one hour with a highly capable, motivating and caring Sensei Jimmy Rivera. Sensei Rivera supervises your training personally with the assistance of his very well-rounded and helpful team of martial arts experts. The staff at the school is quite friendly and welcoming, as well. Under Sensei Rivera supervision of the 90-Days Challenge, I lost over 20 pounds. I changed my eating habits and for the first time in more than 15 years, I have not gained back the weight I lost. This has been the best investment for my health. There are many other martial arts schools around, however you will not find the high level of professionalism and caring found at TS Gramercy.

Fantastic experience: Martial arts has always been a strong passion of mine for as long as I can remember. As a kid I would enjoy watching the Tiger Schulmann's commercials and I would always ask my mom to sign me up or take me. In high school, a good friend of mine would always go after school to train with the instructors and other students, and I remember tagging along with him one day to watch. That was the day I realized I wanted to be apart of the Tiger Schulmann's team. A few years went on, I was training at various boxing gyms but at my new job a I noticed that a co-worker of mine was wearing a TSK hoodie. I asked him what school did he train at because i had forgotten the location of the the previous one from high school, plus i shared my passion for martial arts with him and told him about me wanting to be a pro fighter. He told me that just a few blocks down from where we worked there was a Tiger school and that i should go check it out whenever. I was very nervous to go but he assured me that everyone from the Sensei to the Instructors where very friendly and told me that they would get me to where i want to be. That they would not only listen to me but care about my passion and drive me to help me reach all my goals on this journey. He was absolutely right! From the first time i walked in i was greeted by the Instructor/Manager Joshu Aleen. Shared the history of the TSK with me as well as her own journey and immediately i felt that i belonged here. I instantly set up my trial class with her and was anxious to come back. The day of my trial class I was greeted by someone whom i never thought i'd meet so soon, Sensei Jimmie Rivera. I was in shock, at the time i was only just getting into the UFC so i knew but so much about him. He asked me why did i want to switch from Boxing to Martial Arts all together and after he shared with me his own journey. Just hearing these stories made me want to create my own. So after I the trial class i signed up right away for my classes. I called the good friend of mine from high school and told him about it. i was overwhelmed with so much excitement that i just wanted to start classes right away. The instructors there work so well with the students. Sensei Rivera is really good at remembering everyone's names and keeps the class alive and pushing with him jokes. Joshu Aleen checks up on us all the time, not just about classes but our personal lives too. If something is bothering us they make sure that we are okay. They pretty much have an "open door" to us where we can feel free to speak to them about anything. They don't just look at us like students but as their extend families as well. i can remember always watching them training after all class were done late night and thinking " man i wish i can join them. " Surely enough later I was asked to join them in a late night training session. That was the happiest moment since i was here. Being able to train side by side with my Sensei or Instructors made me feel like i really belonged to this place. I highly recommend anyone with a passion for Martial Arts, anyone that wants to go somewhere were they can be their selves, anyone that wants to feel at home at a gym instead of feeling like they are just spending their money for no reason to definitely come down to Tiger Schulmann's Gramercy. This is one decision i will never regret and i am always happy to be here.

Fantastic experience: Found it. I was looking for a Tiger Schulmann’s location, where my son who is 15 years old could train alongside the best. We’ll I found it at this location. I signed my son up this about a year ago. The talent at this school is very high, which help my son be his better self. The staff, students, and student family members support each other and make you feel welcome. It’s no surprise the head instructor is highly regarded in MMA world and someone my son looks up to.

Negative experience: Not worth money. To answer, I have the right location and Franchise, stay away.

Fantastic experience: You become a better person...and you could help others... You learn and the future nobody can't take that away from you..

Fantastic experience: Great workout with an even greater Sensei! I always look forward to my classes, and it helps when you have people there motivating you every step of the way.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Great atmosphere. Great workout!

Fantastic experience: The best teachers

Fantastic experience: Love it! It's great way to live, fit and focused. Increase your confidence and excel in other parts of your life. Connect with yourself and begin a journey that will stay with you for a lifetime. The instructors are skilled in wellness and allow you to get what you need out of a fitness class; an overall felling of well-being.

Fantastic experience: After years of yo-yo dieting and trying every single new fad weight loss program I finally found something that worked. I have been training for the past four years and have been able to maintain my weight loss as well as a great blood pressure level with out the use of medicines. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are always staying up to date with what is going on in the fitness world. The class format is very good. Students can train at their own level unlike some other schools where new students are forced to compete against more experienced students to "test" their merit. As the student progresses they are encouraged to move up to the advance classes. The advance classes are setup in such a way that the student will make a easy transition into the advance level. They are never forced to compete with someone who may be more experienced then them. TSMMA also has its own line of training gear which was specifically designed and made to ensure the safety of its students. All the gear is tested for a long period of time before it is made available for the students. Another great benefit that they offer is a nutritional program. Basically, they tell you how to eat and what to eat to reach your own personal goal. Finally, the cost of the program. Some people feel that the price is extremely high. If you were to compare what it cost per class at TSMMA versus a personal training session at the gym you would see that it is very comparable. The main difference is that you are receiving not only health benefits but life saving benefits at TSMMA. I highly recommend TSMMA to anyone who is at the point in their life where they have tried everything to get into shape. I guarantee this will be the one that works and sticks!!! Take it from me I went from 230 lbs to 180 lbs in 90 days and have stayed at 180.
