Shihan David Tirelli
New Jersey Hall of Fame Pioneer Fighter, David Tirelli, brings nearly three decades of teaching experience to his role as Head Instructor at our Elmwood Park school. As the owner of this flagship gym, Tirelli takes pride in offering members a quality of instruction they’ll find nowhere else. “As one of Tiger Schulmann’s flagship headquarters, we have amazing instructors that attract members from all walks of life, including top fighters,” says Tirelli. “Gyms tend to be boring and dull. Our motivated instructors are excited to help you reach your goals. Classes pass by fast, so you’re never bored.”
Tirelli’s Elmwood Park school offers an extensive schedule of martial arts classes for kids and adults of all ages and abilities. “For my young students,” he says, “I focus on building their mental and physical spirit. We help them practice self-discipline by working towards and achieving goals, and develop the tools to stand up to bullies.” Tirelli’s adult kickboxing classes offer members a break from the stresses of the day. “I’m inspired watching our members get into great shape and let go of anxiety. They lead busy lives, but here we help everyone relax and enjoy themselves.”
