Anmar C.

I have been with the organization 20 years and counting. Because of my training, my experiences, as a person, I gained skills that enriched every aspect of my life and helped to empower me. I have great people I train with and great instructors. My children all grew up in the organization and have taken skills and empowerment with them as well. I have not regretted the day I began training and as an over 50 years old, I can say I still train to this day.

Lory M.

I have been training at Tiger Schulmann’s Allentown for 6 years. The instructors are very experienced and provide a variety of classes for different skill levels so you can get the most out of your workouts. Training at Tiger Schulmann’s has provided me with more confidence. I lost 60 lbs in the first 8 months of my training and have kept the weight off. I am 42 years old and in the best shape of my life.

Craig S.

It’s a great blend of intense cardio and striking technique paired with challenging encouragement from peers and instructors. The motivation to push ones-self comes easily in this great environment and with this program.

Dave S.

This is by far the best school around, the teachers are well experienced in their years of training, and teach you not only excellent self-defense but nutrition and other valuable life skills. 100% worth the investment.
