My family and I have joined Tiger Schulmann’s for a few years now. Yes, a few years!! That’s how much we love and enjoy the school. The workout is amazing and best of all, you are learning self-defense! The instructors are great, they are so inspiring and helpful. After every class, you feel alive and energized. Being at Tiger Schulmann’s Huntington you become part of a big family. And that’s why my family and I love it there!!

Almost 20 years ago I came to an introductory class after a friend suggested I do something to get back in shape. I lost 40 lbs which I have kept off while learning martial arts in a safe, clean, and well-supervised environment. From building confidence to learning to eat well, this school offers it all. i could not say enough about the great people who work and train here and the family they truly are.

Chris M.

Tiger Schumann’s in Huntington is absolutely awesome! My wife and I have had our daughter (12yrs old) going to TS for a couple of years now and loves it. Sensei Castillo is truly a treasure. His instruction and direction engage the students and keep their focus throughout the class. We would definitely encourage others to join.

This place saved me in ways I couldn’t imagine. Discipline is a concept we hear so much of, our school is the very place where you get an eyewitness account of it. We have so much fun, we learn a lot and we build together. Our Sensei, Sempais, Trainers, Fighters, Students, Families and Fans are all winners. Honored to be a part of this school.

Samar E.

Sensei Castillo has a great relationship with the students as well as parents. I don’t think that bond is felt at other places. The atmosphere sensei creates I think lifts his students to do better, be better and will help as a base for years

Keith G.

Awesome place, awesome team..It have been a great experience, value of money, time…full of energy, me and my elder daughter are already taking classes and cant wait for my little one to start.

Kamal D.

We went to three TS locations and my son like Sensei Matt Castillo a lots.
He is so funny and professional. My son became more stronger when he is doing boxing.

Ingrid L.

This is a great school for kids and we have a great Sensei, Castillo which is a fun person when instructing the class on site and on zoom.

Bruno D.

Best place around to learn both stand-up and ground self-defense. Superb instruction by a very dedicated and excellent instructor. A friendly atmosphere makes it easy to learn and get in shape. A large clean training area with plenty of parking makes this spot ideal. With access from major roadways, this makes it easy to get to from any town in the area. Classes range from beginner to advanced and are a challenge to even the most seasoned martial artist(children and adults alike). Must swing by and give it a try!

Isack S.

This Tiger Schulmann’s in Huntington is amazing; I’ve been a member here for 3 years and they have helped me become healthier (I’ve lost 32 pounds) and also have helped me become more disciplined in eating healthy overall. Joshu Castillo is one of a kind and will help you reach any goal you set for yourself. Well worth it.

Evenlyn V.

In December I enrolled my 5 year old son. Since then his focus, and discipline has greatly improved. He has become stronger both physically and mentally. He looks forward to class everyday and wants to get more involved and further his training. Joshu Castillo does a great job motivating all of his students and makes learning fun.

Richard P.

On January 18, 2015 I happened to be fitted for a bridesmaid’s dress and my measurements put me at a size 16. It was 6 days after I quit smoking and 1 day before the 2015 90 day challenge started at Tiger Schulmann’s. Now, at the age of 34, with the 2016 90 day challenge nearing an end, I fit into a size 4 last night, I haven’t had a cigarette in 15 months and am healthier than I’ve ever been in my life!

Christina C.

I had the pleasure of training at this school under Joshu Castillo before moving. He’s a wonderful teacher with a passion for what he does, every class was full of great energy and training there brought my martial arts to the next level. I miss the school and all the fantastic students! Truly a family environment and I still consider all of them my martial arts family

Samantha F.

I can’t say enough about the Tiger Schulmann’s program. It has worked to lower my blood pressure, control my weight, increase my strength, stamina, and self-confidence. Joshu Castillo is a knowledgeable, athletic, charismatic instructor that easily motivates all of his students. He subtly corrects the technique of his students in a non-threatening way throughout each class. His concern for his students is genuine, and the result is a very successful training experience for all involved. I highly recommend the Huntington TSK location!

Alex P.

Can’t say enough great things about Tiger Schulmanns in Huntington. Sensei along with the rest of the instructors are very professional and friendly. My son started a year ago when he was 8 years old. A year later he’s stayed with it and as a result he is stronger and healthier because of it. His confidence has also increased, which was why we started going. I would recommend Tiger Schulmanns to anyone. I see all different ages from kids to older adults.

Kirk M.

Outstanding school. The classes were fun and the instructor was right on. Knowledge of the arts was impressive as well. Highly recommended for all ages.

Robert S.

I love Tiger’s Schulmann’s MMA Huntington because everyone here is like family. We all are here for certain goals, whether it be losing weight, gaining muscle, learning self defense, or competing. Joshu Matthew Castillo always does an excellent job in teaching the kids, as well as the adults. He doesn’t let you give up on your goals, and will push you to become better in whatever you need. If you are looking for a lifestyle change, not just temporarily lose weight, but to stay in shape for life, this is the place to be.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Matthew Castillo

Sensei Matthew Castillo boasts an extensive background in Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan Karate, and Boxing. Having always been a teacher in some capacity, he found that teaching martial arts for both adults and children was a natural fit. “That look someone gives you when they get something that they struggled with is the reason I wanted to be an instructor – to help people change their lives for the better,” he says. “To make students feel positive about themselves is priceless.”
At our Huntington location, Sensei Castillo teaches adult kickboxing in an approachable and fun way. “Members learn authentic kickboxing from a kickboxing champion. And at the end of the class, most students say, ‘That’s it?! We’re done already?’ They were so busy learning, they didn’t realize they’d just burned up to 1,000 calories!” Castillo infuses his calorie-torching workout with core principles of discipline, focus, respect, courage, honor, integrity, and loyalty. “Our members make a choice to be here,” he says. “They train with a purpose to better and challenge themselves. “We align that purpose with inspiration and continuous motivation to help our members achieve success.”
