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.

Sensei Bobby Colontino will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.

Fitness. Fun. Real self-defense. Kickboxing at Tiger Schulmann’s East Hanover, NJ isn’t your typical workout. Members build confidence, find community, and achieve results— fast—through high-intensity kickboxing workouts that burn up to 1,000 calories a class.

The difference is our certified instructors. Owner and Head Sensei David Castro leverages two decades of teaching experience to help members maximize results and have fun every step of the way. “Our program is 3 dimensional,” says Sensei Castro. “You train your body. You work out your mind. And you learn streetwise self-defense that brings lasting peace-of-mind and security.”

Unlike most gyms, at Tiger Schulmann’s you’re not in it alone. “We’re a big family,” says Castro. “You work at your own pace, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.”

Meet Our Head Instructor

Head Sensei David Castro

Owner and Head Sensei David Castro began his journey in martial arts at age 12. What started as a quest to stop school bullying quickly turned into a meaningful career. “I knew by 17 that I wanted to become an instructor and help kids prevent and overcome the kind of bullying I endured.” Today, Castro brings over two decades of teaching experience and leadership to his role. “We help kids build confidence through achievement,” he explains. “Once they learn how to build confidence, they learn how to apply it in their everyday life. And confident kids don’t get bullied.”

Castro gives adult students the motivation and support they need to reach their fitness, weight loss, martial arts, and kickboxing goals. “Our school is diverse,” he explains. “People come in from all walks of life. But we’re all one big family. And we all have one thing in common—the desire to better ourselves.”
