Greatest place! My son has been coming here since he was 5 years old. He is now 11 and absolutely loves it. I highly recommend Tiger Schumann. The staff is friendly and kind, they know how to work with children and are very patient and eager to help the children learn. They are knowledgeable in teaching self defense and how to stand up to bullies. It's a beautiful and welcoming environment. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Once you're here you're family. I encourage everyone to join. They also have great adult classes. My husband and I love the kick boxing class. They have something for every family member.
Love it! All of the instructors are amazing. They’ve encouraged my daughter to always do her best and have helped her slowly but surely come out of her shell. They’re quick to respond to questions and always take the time to explain everything thoroughly, which makes communication so easy and reassuring. My daughter started on a trial at age 5 and still loves the program years later. She was inspired by other kids to work toward her black belt, and just recently told us she wants to continue training all the way into adulthood. She’s grown so much—becoming more confident, disciplined, and goal-oriented. We’ve tried other programs, but none were as dedicated to the kids as Tiger Schulmann’s. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Sensei Demetrius and his staff have helped my son grow and learn, not only how to kickbox and grapple, but to be a strong person with integrity. The TSK students and parents have become extended family and are always there to cheer each other on. It’s been 9 years since we entered and have no plans on leaving.
We enrolled out 3 year old in class and he has had a blast. The coaches are great and keep the class organized and the kids attention. It's a great mix of beginning to learn foundational aspects of karate, active movement and discipline.
Tiger Schulmann’s is a wonderful experience. I have been here since I was 13 and I’m 30 now. My wife and daughter train as well, it is family oriented. There is nothing better out there. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing instructors.
Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
