I’ve been training for 2 years and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in years. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was so depressed. But Tiger’s instructors have been by my side, pushing me to be confident, eat well, and make simple changes. I’ve lost 21 pounds, went from size 13-15 to size 7-8, and after just 4 months of training I have no more diabetes.

Your training is all you promised it would be. Challenging and fun. Learning discipline and self-defense while working out with knowledgeable instructors who care about their students and their goals. They inspire others to do and be their best.

The program at TSMA is the best, period. They encourage and help drive you to be the best you can be. From the training classes, nutritional program and attention of the instructors, they cater to the entire student. One of my favorite pieces of the training is the end of class when the instructors speak to the students. They offer a lot of motivational instruction to help develop you from the inside out.

Joshu Michael Rascona will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.

Centrally located between downtown and Yorktown Heights, Tiger Schulmann’s kickboxing gym pairs fitness, fun, and real self-defense techniques for the toughest workout you’ll ever love. Burn up to 1,000 calories a class and leave no muscle un-toned — all while building strength and confidence that extends far beyond the studio.

Tiger Schulmann’s kickboxing is not your typical workout. “Not only do you get an amazing total body workout,” says Yorktown Heights Joshu Michael Rascona, “but you learn an essential life skill, self-defense, at the same time! We teach street-wise safety with authentic martial arts techniques.”

That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. Our Yorktown Heights kickboxing studio offers a full-body workout that builds:

Fitness
Weight loss
Peace of mind
Community
Empowerment

Unlike most gyms, you’re not in it alone. “I’m inspired every day to see my second family—my students,” says Joshu Michael Rascona. “We’re all here for each other.” That means personalized guidance, expert coaching, and continuous motivation to help you reach your goals.

THE WORKOUT

Push Your Limits
and Love Every Minute

Cardio, strength, flexibility, and key recovery time come together in a balanced, high-energy workout.
  • Warm Up: Prepare the body to work hard, safely
  • Bag Training: Cardio and full-body strength-training in one powerful package
  • Bodyweight Strength Training: Build core strength and stability without stressing the joints or limiting mobility
  • Stretching and Flexibility: Our restorative cool-down increases flexibility and prevents injury
Let’s go! You can do this!

LEARN REAL SELF-DEFENSE

It’s More Than a Workout,
It’s Peace of Mind

  • Street-Smart Safety: The best defense is knowing how to avoid danger, and knowing what to do when you can’t
  • A Proven Tradition: We’re 35+ years strong and real-world tested to keep you safe
  • Defense for All Levels: We’ll get you started and keep you advancing with kickboxing, close-range defense and jiu-jitsu tailored to your level
  • Confidence that Counts: Leave the class with a power and ease that makes you a far less likely target

Meet Our Head Instructor

Joshu Edwin Torres

Joshu Edwin Torres began his martial arts journey at age 36, building on his background in high school and college wrestling. What started as a personal challenge quickly became a lifelong passion. With more than 24 years of training and 12 years of teaching experience, Joshu is dedicated to helping students develop both on and off the mat. His own experience with bullying while growing up in the South Bronx has shaped his approach to teaching, motivating him to help students build the confidence, discipline, focus, and self-defense skills needed to face challenges and overcome adversity.

For Joshu, martial arts has provided benefits that go far beyond physical fitness. It has strengthened him mentally and physically while giving him lifelong friendships and a strong sense of community. Today, he is committed to sharing those same benefits with his students and inspiring them to become stronger, more confident, and more determined individuals.

“I wanted to inspire, motivate and encourage students the way my
instructors inspired, motivated and encouraged me,” he says. Whether working with a beginner or an experienced student, Joshu Torres loves seeing people improve their technique, get in better shape, and ultimately feel better about themselves. He especially enjoys helping kids develop focus, self-confidence, self-discipline, and a non-quitting spirit, while helping adults become a better version of themselves, both physically and mentally.
