This location has been safe and clean prior to covid and even more precautions have been taken since. Tottenville Tiger Schulmann’s has continuously been a safe place for my child to get regular exercise and since public schools have been closed, I know my child can maintain a healthy lifestyle. The instructors have been great leaders and influential in teaching focus, self-discipline and self-defense to my child.

Karen K.

Best instructors around. Very professional. Great with kids, teaching them important values, confidence and discipline. Highly recommend.

Stephen G.

Excellent staff, and great with the kids. The owner Sensei Nick Pace is a experienced and professional martial artist that goes out of his way to accommodate individual needs.

Mike D.

Sensei Pace and the Tottenville Tiger Schulmann’s Team are amazing! Our son has been training with them for almost 3 years now, since age 7, and he loves it. The boost in his self-confidence as he improves and earns each belt promotion has made such a difference. They are professional, motivating, and most importantly, they really care for their students. We highly recommend TTSMMA!

Amy K.

Sensei Pace and his instructors are and amazing team! My two girls started attending classes at Tottenville two years ago when we had some issues with bullying, & it has been an amazing experience. Not only have they become more confident and stronger, but Sensei Pace installs a feeling of family within his team that has truly given my children a place they feel they belong.

TSMMA Tottenville is first class all the way. Staff is always friendly and courteous. Pre-Covid, the place was spotless and clean. Now the staff has upped their cleaning protocol to meet and exceed the guidelines for Covid. But most importantly, what your child learns from Sensei Pace and his staff is PRICELESS! Our family wouldn’t have it any other way.

Vince G.

This school has truly gone above and beyond to take every precaution and every measure to keep their students and staff safe during this time. They keep their classes fun and entertaining, yet still teaching discipline and focus. Every parent and student has had nothing but great things to say about the return to classes, and everyone was so excited to come back.

Madysen M.

After researching many MMA schools in the area, I decided on Tiger Schulmann Tottenville primarily because of the level of expertise of the instructors. Head instructor and Sensei Nick Pace is a UFC Veteran and actively competes. He is passionate about his teaching and has an amazing repport with his students.
