See what students at Tiger Schulmann’s Bay Ridge are saying

It is definitely about building character, confidence, strength and the ability to defend yourself, but yet it is so much more than that. Tiger Schulmann Bayridge is a culture where you build friendships, and by default become a family that drive one another to dig deep down within yourself to accomplish things that you never knew you could.

Tiger Schulmann’s in a whole is a life changing organization! My whole family have trained here and it really made us better as a family. Take an opportunity and visit for a class, I promise you will sign up and you will feel better everyday. Sensei Levy is committed and whole heartly gives his all to make you better as a person, he doesn’t give up on his students and he is amazing. Everyone who attends class is amazing and all teachers are motivating and care about your progress! Bay Ridge is not just a Martial Arts School it’s a family and will always be our family!!

I’ve been going to Tiger Schulmann’s MMA for over a year now. Not only is it one of the best workouts I’ve ever had, but its fun. A lot of people think that its expensive, but they don’t realize that it’s better than any gym. Punching and kicking is a better stress reliever than a treadmill. Also, when was the last time you went to the gym and didn’t see a fat trainer? That’s motivation. The instructors here are outstanding and the head instructor is one of the top professional fighters around. If you want a workout or even just blow off steam, come here, otherwise, go to one of the gyms in the area and kill time.

Took a free class here on Saturday and loved it. The instructor was super helpful and great. Highly recommend giving this studio a try. Hope to take more classes with them in the future! Boxing is such an amazing workout and a great way to burn calories.

I’ll keep this short and simple… First off, great atmosphere and awesome staff! Sensei is top notch and is/was a professional MMA fighter at the highest level. Not only do you get an awesome workout training kickboxing/grappling(jiu jitsu), but it gives you more confidence and teaches you discipline. Sensei and his team encourage students to push themselves to work hard while providing great instructions in the martial arts. It’s done so much for me and I can’t thank them enough! Osu

I absolutely love this school! Sensei Levi has been an amazing instructor and a fantastic person. He really helped me lose about 15 pounds and he is very knowledgeable not only in fitness, but nutrition as well.

“We don’t just teach martial arts,” he says, “we change lives. Shy, timid kids grow bold and confident. Children who struggle with bullying learn to stand up for themselves. My partner here in Bay Ridge, Joshu Arce, came to us as a chunky kid. He worked his butt off and at 18 became a professional fighter. We bring 110% every day to make transformation like that possible.”
