We’ve been engaged for 15 years. My household members have gained self-defense skills & improved stamina, physical strength, and health. We have also connected to a great community.

TS Bayside is wonderful. The instructors are knowledgeable and committed. Both my 7-year-old son and I attend and both of us have benefited tremendously!

Reuben K.

The instructors have a nice way w/ the kids. There’s a tv room so you can watch the session. The facility is clean and in great shape. Our son has increased his confidence, made friends and always wants to go!

Tiger Schulmann’s in Bayside is amazing- my whole family has been training at this school for almost 15 years. We love the TSK community. Shihan, Sensei, and Joshu, the expert fighters/instructors, are truly dedicated, professional and kind. They are fabulous role models for all of us, especially the kids. The environment is friendly, encouraging, supportive and always clean. The workout is unparalleled and to top it off, you are learning a martial art. Only positive things to say about TSK Bayside.

Punita P.

Have been trained here for 4 years, still love it as same as I just started.

Bella J.

Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside helped my son transition from a kid who was going to get left back a grade, who was bullied to high school Valedictorian. Jonathan was very shy and had no self-esteem. Now he is a very confident young man and he is aiming high. Thank You Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside Team.

Latchmee S.

My son has so much more confidence and respect as he looks forward to his classes every week and is eager to advance in ranking. The mothers day program was very touching as I was able to share a special moment with my son. The workout definitely kicked my butt..I’m looking forward to burning even more calories!!!

Chadean C.

Tiger Schulman has helped my son feel empowered and made him more confident! He looks forward to going and loves his class.

Magnus W.

Excellent martial arts school! Taught me self-defense techniques and discipline while having a great fun cardio workout! Left all my stress and tension from the day on the mat! Special thanks to Sensei Arce and Joshu Jon! Great instructors and amazing personalities!!

Rania G.

Both my sons train at TSMA Bayside and love every moment of it. Always coming home full of energy after a lesson of fun and fitness. In addition to the important self-defense skills they learn, the lessons of respect for yourself and others, and the discipline to apply to other aspects of life are undeniably invaluable and ever-lasting.

Gabriel M.

You start off trying to get in shape and before you realize you’ve not only succeeded in getting in shape but you are learning different martial arts styles as well as making friendships that last beyond the mat. It is a wonderful experience to do things that you’ve never believed you can do and still learn how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and do what you love to do to. I’ve learned so much and I can never wait for my next class to start.

David C.

I cannot say enough about TSMA Bayside. Our daughters have been training here since January and love it! They always look forward to the days they have class. They are learning discipline, responsibility, gaining self-confidence and self-defense. Shihan, Sensei, Sempai, and Mikey make TSMA our second family. The moment you walk through the door, you feel at home.

Colleen H.

In Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside, aside from the excellent kickboxing and grappling training you get, they also encourage and instill the practice of self control and self discipline. I’ve been training here for 9 years and all those years I’ve learned to balance proper diet and exercise in order to live a healthy lifestyle. They not only emphasize exercise but also the importance of incorporating proper nutrition in daily life.

Vic D.

Hey, I’m a student and I actually thought I wasn’t going to fit in or that kids will laugh at me because of my size but the first time I went there I made myself friends and the teachers are nice, I love the students and the teacher, they even gave me a nice nickname, “Rumble”, I really suggest people to go there with your family and friends, very nice, you’ll even feel like your home!!!!!. Love it!!!!!

Christian T.

Been coming for just shy of 5 years. Just turned 67. It is without a doubt the best workout ever. Shihan, Sensei Arce, and the other teachers are all great. Aside from being in the best shape in years, they have all helped elevate my self esteem and confidence to new heights. Thanks Tiger Schulmann.

David C.

My son has been attending TSK since he was three years old. My wife and I have since also joined the TSK family. The environment is of a school (as it is referred to) and imparts a sense of family and belonging. The training is top-notch (although I can not prove it and hope to never be able to). Our younger son is looking forward to the opportunity to join the TSK MMA family (he is still a little young for the current training programs).

Meet Our Head Instructor

Julio Arce

Julio Arce was first drawn to karate as a bullied and overweight 12-year-old. It wasn’t long before he experienced a physical and mental transformation under the mentorship of Bayside’s Shihan Gotthoffer. Arce earned his black belt and made it his goal to share the knowledge he’d learned on his journey to help others overcome their own obstacles.
As a professional fighter, Arce is an MMA Ring of Combat Bantamweight and Featherweight Champion, the 2011 Golden Gloves Boxing Champion, and a UFC Featherweight Contender. But in school, he uses his years of teaching experience to “bring out the potential in students that they might not see in themselves.” He helps adults reach peak fitness through kickboxing classes led in a high-energy, feel-good group setting. “At Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside, you will always have someone motivating you and assisting you with your goals,” he says. He also teaches karate classes for kids, where he applies martial arts basics to instill children with lifelong confidence and self-discipline.
