My daughter trained at the Hoboken center for almost four years. Left only because we moved to the suburbs. Excellent experience. Sensei and his team are amazing.
Sensei G knows how to keep kids engaged as well as motivated. Perfectly structured teaching style. My daughter loved training with Tiger Schulmann’s. Highly recommend!

All three of my kids have been at Tiger Schulman’s at from 4 years old to teenage years. Sensei Gaudinot is great with the kids and definitely keeps them engaged and keeps their attention. I have also signed up for classes and it is a great workout and you are learning defensive skills as well.

Eduardo G.

My boys have been going to Hoboken Tiger Schulmann’s for the past few years and it has been awesome! Sensei and Team really motivate and teach my boys the importance of hard work and discipline. It is also a great workout for them and the boys have progressed well through the program. We love it!

Nina C.

We love Tiger Schulmann! Sensei and Joshu are the best! They have taught my son so much and gave him the confidence he needs!

Donna O.

We had a great experience with Hoboken Tiger Schulman’s. They are knowledgeable, professional, and caring. Sensei G and the team go above and beyond to meet their student’s needs. My two boys were attending for two years, they gained confidence, self-discipline, and athleticism. Unfortunately, we moved to another town and cannot commute bc it is too far. Would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone.

Sensei Gaudinot and the guys are professional and great with kids. My son has so much fun, not even realizing that he’s building self-confidence, respect for others, and listening skills. There is a really nice family vibe at Tiger Schulmann’s in Hoboken. It is great!!!!

Damian D.

My son, who is on the spectrum, has really taken to this – a wonderful surprise to us all. He has become very interested in Martial arts and fitness and looks forward to every class. The staff is very professional & kind.

Ondine G.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Tiger Schulmann’s. We have watched our son become more confident, resilient, and self-disciplined through his experience. The teachers are dedicated to helping him grow with martial arts and more importantly as a person. We are grateful that they are such amazing role models and always have time to have a one on one chat with him when needed, whether it relates to class or something else in his life.

I’ve been a member for two years now and it’s been both an incredible experience and an amazing kickboxing journey to being more fit. Sensei Gaudinot is one of the best teachers around, his enthusiasm and dedication shine through. He has built a wonderful community and he keeps the place super clean. I highly recommend it and have recently enrolled my hubby, who hates to workout normally but looks forward to coming to class!

Jennifer I.

13 years ago I was looking for a martial arts school for my 8-year-old son we visited many schools. When we walked into Tiger Shulmanns I knew immediately that we were in the rate place. The structure, discipline, and professionalism were unmatched. Since then my entire family has made it to the level of first-degree black belt. We love the organization and I know you will too. It starts with one class!!

Christopher G.

Sensei and his team are great teachers – on the mat and off it. Great, age-appropriate approach that teaches kids self-discipline, responsibility, how to recognize bullying and how to approach it. Highly recommend it!

Anya G.

My two sons have been attending Tiger Schulmann in Hoboken for several years – each started around 4 yo – Sensei G is nothing short of amazing with the kids. He really cares and is the heart and soul of the school. I would give them more than five stars if I could. Would not even think of going anywhere else.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Louis Gaudinot

Louis Gaudinot began his martial arts journey at age 6. “I needed an outlet to let our energy and build focus,” he says. He earned his black belt just two years later and today he brings nearly three decades of teaching expertise to his role as Tiger Schulmann’s Hoboken’s owner and Head Instructor.

A celebrated professional fighter, Gaudinot is a former UFC Top Ten Flyweight and competed in season 14 of Ultimate Fighter. But, he says, his primary focus has always been “helping members build their focus and reach their full potential through authentic martial arts.” The “cardio-kickboxing” classes you find at an average gym, he explains, “are taught by someone who’s taken a 2-hour certification class. At Tiger Schulmann’s, my team of instructors apprentices for years and teaches from a proven curriculum to make sure members get results, learn real streetwise self-defense, and stay safe and injury-free.” The most unexpected benefit of Tiger Schulmann’s training “is the people you meet,” he says. “We’re a big family, and many students become lifelong friends through the bond they build training.”
