Sensei Nick Demetrius will help you push your limits and love every minute of it.
Centrally located between downtown and North Stamford, Tiger Schulmann’s kickboxing gym pairs fitness, fun, and real self-defense techniques for the toughest workout you’ll ever love. Burn up to 1,000 calories a class and leave no muscle un-toned — all while building strength and confidence that extends far beyond the studio.
Tiger Schulmann’s kickboxing is not your typical workout. “Not only do you get an amazing total body workout,” says Stamford Sensei Nick Demetrius, “but you learn an essential life skill, self-defense, at the same time! We teach street-wise safety with authentic martial arts techniques.”
That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. Our Stamford kickboxing studio offers a full-body workout that builds:
Fitness
Weight loss
Peace of mind
Community
Empowerment
Unlike most gyms, you’re not in it alone. “I’m inspired every day to see my second family—my students,” says Sensei Demetrius. “We’re all here for each other.” That means personalized guidance, expert coaching, and continuous motivation to help you reach your goals.

Meet Our Head Instructor
Sensei Nick Demetrius
Sensei Nick Demetrius brings more than two decades of martial arts teaching experience to his role as head instructor at Tiger Schulmann’s. He goes above and beyond to make our Stamford location a supportive space where lifelong friendships can be made. “I’m inspired every day to see my second family – my students,” says Nick. In the Stamford school, he says, “we’re all here for each other.” For members – both adults and kids – that means personalized guidance and motivation to get you where you want to be.
An experienced athlete and fighter, Sensei Demetrius earned Connecticut’s #1 rank in forms and fighting three years in a row and repeatedly placed in the top 5 in the US for his age and weight class. But through it all, his number one goal was to be a Sensei. “When I was young, my instructor, Shihan Pete Tirelli Sr., was my super hero.” Today, he says, “I love teaching kids because I know the martial arts skills they’re learning will make them more confident in all aspects of their lives – like it did for me!”
For adults, Demetrius creates “a mental vacation” from the distraction and stresses of the workday. “For the time members train with me,” he says “nothing else matters.”
