Kids who study Jiu Jitsu at Tiger Schulmann’s Freehold learn more than just self-defense, they learn the benefits of self-control and discipline in a safe and supportive environment.
Adult Jiu Jitsu classes at Tiger Schulmann’s Freehold are a great way for men and women of all ages to get fit and learn self-defense. Our certified instructors provide a fun and positive atmosphere where students can safely learn new techniques that will build both skill and confidence.
In Jiu Jitsu technical skills are prioritized over strength, athletic ability, and speed, so age is less of a factor than in other sports.
“I tell students all the time, don’t worry about messing up. It is never about being perfect, no one is perfect. The goal is to recognize when you mess up and always strive to be a little better each time. As long as you learn from your mistakes, you are going to get better. Just keep showing up. We are in this together.”
Sensei Varricchio was only eight years old when he started training at Tiger Schulmann’s. Initially encouraged by his mother to join, he knew after his first class that he wanted to become an instructor and have his own school. “Some kids want to be firefighters, some kids want to be police officers, I wanted to be an instructor after one class. I felt like I was the absolute strongest person in the room after that class. It was simple stuff looking back, but I left feeling like I was six feet tall even though I was like the smallest guy in the room.”
Head Instructor Varricchio loves competing, he’s 11-0 in amateur competition in both kickboxing and MMA, but helping people through martial arts is his passion. “For me to learn martial arts and attain the level of proficiency that I have, I know anyone can do it if they really try.” Having experience as a student at every level from a child to an adult, Head Instructor Varricchio can relate to his students. He understands what their goals are and potentially what is holding them back. “Most of the time, the biggest thing holding someone back, both for kids and adults, is confidence. But, with consistent training, the confidence in yourself will grow both on and off the mat.”
While many of the Jiu Jitsu techniques taught at Tiger Schulmanns are from Brazilain Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) there are a few differences. Unlike many traditonal BJJ schools, at TSMA we don’t train in gis. Additionally, while we do offer dedicated Jiu Jitsu classes at all levels, it is just one element of the many martial arts styles that comprise Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts.
In addtion to the many benefits for a person’s mental and physical health, jiu jitsu is considered the ideal method of self-defense for women.
“Jiu-jitsu” translates from the Japanese as “the gentle art.” The concept being, students can practice realistically and at full speed with less chance of injury.
Tiger Schulmann’s Jiu Jitsu is based on practicality and real-life self-defense. Our techniques can be used virtually anywhere and against any type of opponent or attacker. Both in sport or in an actual altercation.
Traditional BJJ does not teach how to defend against strikes from the ground. Tiger Schulmann’s teaches how to use strikes, submission, sweeps, and other techniques from the ground while staying protected.
