My children have trained at Tiger Schulmann’s under sensei Castro for over a decade. His school has been their second home. He has instilled discipline and respect as well as physical coordination and mental focus in all his students. I’d highly recommend Sensei Castro to anyone

Meet Our Head Instructor

Head Sensei David Castro

Owner and Head Sensei David Castro began his journey in martial arts at age 12. What started as a quest to stop school bullying quickly turned into a meaningful career. “I knew by 17 that I wanted to become an instructor and help kids prevent and overcome the kind of bullying I endured.” Today, Castro brings over two decades of teaching experience and leadership to his role. “We help kids build confidence through achievement,” he explains. “Once they learn how to build confidence, they learn how to apply it in their everyday life. And confident kids don’t get bullied.”

Castro gives adult students the motivation and support they need to reach their fitness, weight loss, martial arts, and kickboxing goals. “Our school is diverse,” he explains. “People come in from all walks of life. But we’re all one big family. And we all have one thing in common—the desire to better ourselves.”
