I have been within the Tiger Schulmann’s organization since 2008 and have been to multiple different schools within the organization. I found Tiger Schulmann’s of Wayne around 2018 and it was the only location where I felt at home and treated equally and with respect. I definitely feel like they are my second family and I would recommend them to anyone.

His team is dedicated to helping members achieve their health and fitness goals while learning self-defense skills proven to keep them safe.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Scott Zapfel

Owner and Head Sensei Scott Zapfel began his journey in martial arts at age 24. What started as a quest for fitness turned into a life-changing career. “Once I started teaching as a black belt,” he says, “I was amazed at the feeling of helping others progress along the same path.” Today, he brings over two decades of martial arts teaching experience to his leadership at Tiger Schulmann’s Wayne, NJ. <br>

“We bring together a great diversity of people,” says Zapfel, “but everyone in my school is like family.” That of course includes members who keep each other motivated through Zapfel’s high-intensity kickboxing and jujitsu workouts. But it also includes his literal family, wife and school manager, Joshu Christine Zapfel. 

<br>
Zapfel credits his “profound level of fitness and confidence” to his martial arts practice and strives to bring that same life-changing mind-body fitness to his students. “In just one year of training, one of my students lost 110 lbs. It gave her the confidence to go out there and get involved in all the activities she’d always wanted to try.” That new outlook, says Zapfel, was about more than looking good. “It’s a confidence that comes from accomplishment, and the grit, focus, and full mind-body well-being we practice every day.”
