My experience at TSMMA in North Plainfield has been truly positive. Teachers / Sensei are extremely knowledgeable, supportive and professional. The lesson plans are well thought out but extremely challenging in a good way. The school has up-to-date training gear and the training areas are pristine. All of your training partners are respectful and helpful – each person motivating the other.

Tiger Schulmann’s isn’t just martial arts classes. It is a community of people who want to help you succeed. You become part of their family. The kid’s program is amazing and teaches your child not only how to stand up for themselves but also how to be respectful and disciplined. That respect and discipline isn’t only in class but in every aspect of their lives at home and school. The adult classes are amazing as well.

EXCELLENT program for the kids and for my husband and I! We enrolled our daughters to increase their self-esteem and help learn self-defense. We got SO much more!! They are reinforcing listening to their parents, paying attention in school/life, making friends and now my husband & I enrolled for our health. I would recommend this program and these owners to everyone! It is a wonderful team of caring, talented people here.

Senseis Paul Querido & Munah Holland will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.

Conveniently located off Route 22, Tiger Schulmann’s North Plainfield gym combines full-body fitness with real self-defense for the toughest workout you’ll ever love. Our high-intensity interval workouts burn up to a thousand calories a class while teaching an essential life skill that builds confidence and security far outside the gym.
“We don’t follow fad workouts,” says Sensei Paul Querido. “We have a proven curriculum developed over three decades that’s helped thousands of people.” That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. Led by Querido and his wife, Sensei Munah Holland, our North Plainfield kickboxing classes blend cardio, strength-training, flexibility, and authentic martial arts techniques to help students find:
Fitness
Weight loss
Peace of mind
Community
Empowerment
Unlike most gyms, you’re not in it alone. “I love giving members the physical outlet they need to reduce stress and get in shape,” says Holland. “I lost 50 pounds in my first year with Tiger Schulmann’s and to help our members do the same thing is remarkable.” Querido agrees, “Our members are so focused on their family and their careers, they often don’t make time for themselves. We help them care for themselves, physically and mentally, so that they can take better care of the people in their lives.”

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

Meet Our Head Instructors

Kids karate in North Plainfield sensei Paul

Sensei Paul Querido

“Time and time again we see students come in shy and unable to make eye contact. And through training, they evolve before our eyes into confident, smiling, happy people. It’s so rewarding.”

 

Sensei Querido has been teaching Martial Arts at Tiger Schulmann’s for over 30 years. He knows what works and what doesn’t. “Don’t try to follow what is popular or the hot new workout. We have a proven curriculum that has helped 1000’s.”  Sensei Querido also emphasizes the aspects of training that go beyond the physical. “Everything we do is done with the concept of ‘More than just martial arts’ in mind. Every student wants and deserves respect. We give that and we teach it. What’s most important to Sensei Querido is the growth of his students, especially their increased self-confidence. “We help to instill confidence in all our students. This helps to prevent them from being bullied or submitting to peer pressure.”  His combination of positivity and high energy is infectious. “I love what I do and I am passionate about doing it!”

Sensei Munah Holland

“I fell in love with the training and learning. I lost 50 pounds in my first year and now I love helping others reduce stress, get in shape, and achieve fuller and happier lives.”

 

Sensei Munah Holland first began training at Tiger Schulmann’s based on her sister’s recommendation. Thinking it would be a good way to get in shape and learn self-defense, it quickly became her passion. Through a combination of natural talent and extremely hard work, Sensei Holland rose through the ranks to become a well-known and ranked professional Mixed Martial Arts athlete. She is the highest ranking Female Instructor in Tiger Schulmann’s. Having pushed herself to compete at the highest level, Sensei Holland knows what it takes to inspire others to be their best. “Teaching at any level is an exchange of energy. What you put into it, you always get back.” For Sensei Holland, it has never been just about martial arts… her emphasis has always been about the community that she helps to foster at Tiger Schulmann’s North Plainfield. “I love to see how much our program can transform people, kids, and adults, to grow stronger and be confident.”
