Meet Our Head Instructors
Sensei Nissim Levy
Nissim Levy set off on his martial arts journey at 22 and immediately knew he’d found his career path. Today he brings over 25 years of teaching experience to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, NY.
“We don’t just teach martial arts,” he says, “we change lives. Shy, timid kids grow bold and confident. Children who struggle with bullying learn to stand up for themselves. My partner here in Bay Ridge, Joshu Arce, came to us as a chunky kid. He worked his butt off and at 18 became a professional fighter. We bring 110% every day to make transformation like that possible.”

Shihan Nicholas Gravina
Nicholas Gravina began his martial arts training as a teen. “I was bullied as a kid because I was small and heavy,” he says. “It was through training at Tiger Schulmann’s that I built up the confidence to stand up for myself. And did I ever.” Today, Shihan Gravina brings over three decades of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Syosset studio.
A coach and mentor to both kids and adults, Gravina is driven to help members “leave class feeling better than when they came in.” “As an instructor,” he explains, “your students really look up to you. That is powerful and something you have to earn and respect. My team and I work hard to lead by example, carrying ourselves with confidence and respect, and embodying the non-quitting spirit we teach every day.”
