Sensei Juan Vides will help you achieve life-changing results, inside and out.
Located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Tiger Schulmann’s is a combination of fitness, fun, and real self-defense technique. A unique combination of strength training, cardio and flexibility, Tiger Schulmann’s kickboxing is not your typical workout. But, the benefits aren’t just physical.
“Taking someone on a 45 minute mental and physical health vacation via our classes is one of the most rewarding things to experience as an instructor,” says Joshu Vides. “New York City is one of the most stressful places in the world and having something that not only benefits your body but also your mind, can’t be any more crucial.”
The best part about Tiger Schulmann’s Upper East Side is how the school is like the neighborhood, extremely family oriented. “We take pride in our family atmosphere. The school is a sanctuary for all ages to come in. A place all adults can escape from their daily lives and get in the best shape of their lives!”
That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. Our Upper East Side kickboxing studio offers a full-body workout that builds:
Fitness | Weight loss | Peace of mind | Community | Empowerment
“ I take pride knowing that all the adults coming in to train with me, treasure each class. “
“Seeing adults come in and tell me that training is their favorite part of the day is a reminder to me why I love what I do so much.

Meet Our Head Instructor
Joshu Juan Vides
“Seeing adults come in and tell me that training is their favorite part of the day is a reminder to me why I love what I do so much.”
jJoshu Vides´ passion is teaching Martial Arts. “I knew after my first year of training I wanted to be an instructor. I love all the positive changes I see others achieve from training” says Vides. “I wanted to teach in order to help give back to others just like my instructor did for me.” One of the keys to teaching new students of any age is making them feel comfortable. Doing that with adults often requires an experienced instructor.
“The main thing that separates my school from other non-Tiger Schulmann’s schools is the level of instruction we give in our facility. All of our certified instructors have a minimum of a decade of training in martial art and are all handpicked to become instructors” says Joshu Vides. “You can’t do a weekend course and work at our school.” To teach at Tiger Schulmann’s you need to be both a great Martial Artist and an excellent teacher and communicator. “Our classes will empower you, not just give you a good workout.”
Joshu Vides is also a competitor and is currently the 145-pound Kickboxing Champion in the ECF. Tiger Schulmann’s Upper East Side provides training in authentic kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and self-defense.
