Kids who study Jiu Jitsu at Tiger Schulmann’s Yonkers 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 Yonkers 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.
Shihan Peter Tirelli began his martial arts journey at age four and today leverages over three decades of teaching experience as Owner and Head Instructor of our Yonkers school. He brings an untamed sense of adventure, discipline, and mental toughness to everything he takes on, from the mountains, where he’s an avid rock climber, to the mat. A seasoned competitor, Tirelli won the Senior Grappling Championships three times, and placed 3rd in the Senior World Championships.
In class, Tirelli pushes members to achieve their best, helping instill Tiger Schulmann’s signature non-quitting spirit. He provides students with the personalized coaching needed to continuously improve their fitness, self-discipline, and drive, improving their lives at home, at work, and at school. “My students give their heart and soul,” he says, “and I give mine right back.” The end result is a newfound level of fitness and confidence that motivates students to achieve more than they ever dreamed possible.
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.
