Love training at Tiger Schulmann. The staff is hands-on and they are always there to critique and help you improve and grow as a martial artist. It is also a great workout, I have gained strength and confidence and accomplished things I never thought I would be able to.

Sensei Fischetti is a great Instructor who is courteous and engaging. You can see that he pours the passion he has for Martial Arts into each and every class that he teaches, children and adults alike. A true professional. If you enrolled yourself or your children in the program, you will not be disappointed! You will leave with life lessons, get a great workout, and learn self-defense as well. I can’t wait for my next class!

Mike Fischetti is constantly mixing it up, challenging me. He expects you to do your best. You come in, give it all, and he reciprocates. The best!

In my experience, I’ve never felt more welcomed and humbled by a sensei of mixed martial arts. The professional prowess and competence of Michael Fischetti and his teachings truly exemplify that of a leader and a dignified mentor. You will not regret your decision to train under such exceptional tutelage!

Sensei Jobin George will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.

This is not your average workout. Our Merrick kickboxing classes combine full-body fitness with streetwise martial arts techniques for the toughest workout you’ll ever love. Members burn up to 1,000 calories a class, all while building the confidence and peace of mind that comes with learning a critical life skill—self-defense.

The Tiger Schulmann difference is our certified instructors. Owner and Head Sensei Jobin George brings over 15 years of teaching experience to his role, helping members get results quickly and safely while having fun every step of the way. “We teach authentic techniques and help you build mental and physical fitness, safely and at your own pace,” says Sensei George. “Our team of instructors and members are one big family. Together, we cheer on your victories and help you push forward every step of the way.”

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

Sensei Jobin George

Tiger Schulmann’s Merrick Owner and Head Sensei Jobin George began his martial arts journey at age 10. “I was shy, 40 pounds overweight, and I got bullied,” he says. “Learning martial arts at Tiger Schulmann’s got me in shape and taught me how to overcome those tough situations.” George earned his black belt at 12 and today brings over 15 years of teaching experience to his role as Head Instructor. “I have a degree in childhood education and have taught elementary school, so I understand the formal methods to reach kids. That said, every child is different, so we tap into what works for each student.”

George provides individualized support to his adult students as well, helping members ladder up through new martial arts techniques at their own pace. “We start you off slow, and teach you the technique so you can progress safely,” he explains. “No one is judged. It’s not a competition. But at every step, you’ll see the possibilities of what you can achieve. And it’s more than physical fitness. It’s mental well-being and peace of mind.”
