Sensei Shawn Rapoport will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.
This is not your typical workout. Our Paramus kickboxing classes pair balanced, full-body fitness with streetwise self-defense techniques for the toughest workout you’ll ever love. Members burn up to 1,000 calories a class, all while building confidence, community, and learning a critical life skill—self-defense.
The Tiger Schulmann difference? Our certified instructors. Owner and Head Sensei Shawn Rapoport brings over two decades of teaching experience to help members achieve their health and fitness goals. And unlike most gyms, you’re not in it alone. “Our school is diverse,” says Rapoport, “but we’re one big family. This art form takes time and repetition to learn so you don’t have to be perfect in a day. We reach our goals together, one day at a time.”
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 Shawn Rapoport
Owner and Head Instructor, Sensei Shawn Rapoport began his journey in martial arts at age 10. What started as a quest to learn self-defense and build confidence quickly turned into a life-changing career. Today, he brings nearly three decades of teaching experience and leadership to his role at Tiger Schulmann’s Ramsey and Paramus locations. During that time, he competed in Golden Glove boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, but he remains singularly focused on his students. “I love to see my young students grow in confidence, develop great technique, and watch my teens grow into powerful, fearless adults,” he says.
Rapoport’s high-energy adult kickboxing classes help members “see results, get in great shape, lose weight, and develop real techniques.” Recently, he says, “I helped a woman lose over 100 pounds. It saved her life.” But the Tiger Schulmann difference, he says, goes beyond fitness and weight loss. “We teach authentic self-defense and kickboxing techniques that really work on the street.” That builds a sense of security, confidence, and peace-of-mind, Rapoport says, that students won’t find anywhere else.
