I love everything about this place. Everyone is so great. So helpful and professional.

Bonnie R.

All instructors are fantastic with our boys ages 7 and 9. They constantly challenge while keeping it fun and inclusive. The zoom classes during the pandemic are a great convenience and don’t take away from the experience.

Kris N.

My son has been practicing with TS for his second year and likes it very much. The sensei’s are food instructors, they set realistic goals, and genuinely care about the welfare of their students.

I think tsma has made me stronger physically and mentally. It made me over come my fears and boosted my confidence. It’s made me focus more and made me feel more comfortable. -JayJay

Cathy G.

Sensei Villafane and staff are great instructors and motivators. At Bethlehem TSMA you will have a good and fun workout while keeping all of their students safety in mind. I would recommend this family-friendly and clean location that has classes for both children and adults.

Aida R.

Was hesitant about signing up because I’ve done the whole gym membership thing and always had trouble motivating myself to actually go. Signed up for kickboxing and I couldn’t be happier. I have no issues with motivation. The classes are phenomenal, the instructors and fellow members are always there for you and will push and motivate you, they become your fitness family. The constant learning and want to improve keep me interested and excited for every class. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Dominik P.

Our 15 yr old son has been a TS member for over a year and loves it. He enjoys the instruction method and the instructors no-nonsense teaching style. He has climbed the ranks regularly. I appreciate the fact that the sensei’s lookout for my son.

Mary A. A.

Virginia V.

Sensei Villafane, Joshu Duck & Sempi Barns are amazing with all the kids. My daughter has gained so much confidence in herself. After every class she comes out smiling. We love this school!!

Vanesa H.

We love Sensei Villafane and Joshu Duck. They provide a safe, fun place for kids and adults to be healthy and learn discipline. Highly Recommend!!

Deborah R.

I recently joined TS and am very excited. If you are looking for a better and more effective way to work out than I encourage you to check it out. I have read reviews that this school is “too expensive”. As far as that issue is concerned consider this, it is far less of an expense now to get yourself in good health than it will be paying for medications and weight loss surgery you may need in the future if you don’t make a change. Do yourself a favor and give TS a shot.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Robert Villafane

Growing up in the Bronx, Sensei Villafane was often bullied and intimidated. That’s how, at age 16, he found himself on the martial arts path he remains on today. Through his training, he was able to overcome aggressors and shift his mindset. The martial arts “taught me to be calm in very difficult situations,” he says, “and gave me the confidence to train with the biggest guy in the room.”

When he was 29 years old, Sensei Villafane was approached by Tiger Schulmann himself to represent the organization in jiu-jitsu tournaments. He went on to compete for seven years, and would ultimately coach other Tiger Schulmann pro fighters. “Through Tiger Schulmann’s training I’ve learned to be a great instructor and coach,” he explained,” but also to be a calm, focused, and attentive husband and father to my wife and daughter.”

Today, he passes on his passion for martial arts to his students at our Bethlehem location. There he gives kids and teens the tools to build confidence and leads motivating adult kickboxing classes that help members transform body and mind through real self-defense techniques.
