This place is great! My son is learning so much from attending. Sensei Leonelli, and the rest of the staff (Dillon, Alex, and Joe just to name a few) are great with the kids. So patient and caring. They also really take an interest in their adult students, to make sure that everyone who trains with them stays on track to obtain their goals.

I’m glad i made the choice of registering my son at this place. In such a short period of time, I see tremendous improvement in my son’s behavior, and he now have something to look foward too. The trainers are amazing, and you can tell they love and enjoy what they do.

They have so much love and positivity filling up this amazing environment. Everyone who works here, attends here, it’s like a big family, a big support system.

I’ve never seen a more determined, proud, focussed, or driven in personal success as my five-year-old daughter Rose. Sensei James has harnessed and nurtured her strengths to develop independence and confidence. Tsmma of Smithtown is her chi!

Welcome to Tiger Schulmann’s, Smithtown, NY

Tiger Schulmann’s Smithtown provides a safe, family-friendly environment for members of all ages and abilities to find fitness, confidence, and community through kickboxing and martial arts.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei J. Leonelli

Sensei James Leonelli began his Tiger Schulmann’s training at 13. Three years later, he began mentoring young students. “I saw the impact I was having,” he says, “and it was awesome to do for others what my instructors had done for me.” Today, he brings nearly two decades of martial arts teaching experience to his role as Tiger Schulmann Smithtown’s Owner and Head Instructor.
Leonelli helps kids Find Their Tiger through hard work, dedication, and a no-quit spirit. “We see children like Lily, small and quiet in stature, become a stronger, more confident version of herself. And teens like Shivansh evolve into strong, outspoken competitors. Doug, one of our adult kickboxing students is in the best shape of his life, mentally and physically, at age 50. Seeing the results of my students’ hard work motivates me to help even more people on their journey.”
