Heather A.

I train 2x/ week there. Always clean and neat and the classes are great. Love Judy too!

Chris T.

I love training at TSMMA Ramsey. The instructors are amazingly supportive at whatever level you are training at. The people are friendly and helpful. It’s more like a family than a gym.

Michelle Q.

Sensei Rapoport took the time to explain the children’s program in detail, as well as all the benefits Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts had for my daughter’s, ages 6 and 7. I am excited to continue to watch them learn and excel in the program. I feel it will be a benefit for them in school now, to have more self confidence and more focus, and also a great benefit for years to come. I highly recommend Tiger Schulmann’s for the Martial Arts school of choice for any age, adults and children alike.

Laura M.

Great atmosphere, great members/people, great leadership, great instruction.

Heather W.

Every time I have any interaction with Tiger Schulmann’s MMA I am pleasantly pleased. The professionalism and the product quality that comes from this wonderful chain is nothing short of the expectation. Oss! Highly recommend.

Rogers R.

Best workout ever! Personal instruction like having your own personal trainer. Pushes me to the limit much different than working out at a gym where you may sweat � and work hard but never as hard as when someone is pushing you to do one more or to just keep going!

Duane T.

Both my daughter and I train at Tiger Schulmann’s. It has been a great experience for both of us!! Classes are fun, upbeat, great exercise and you are learning a life skill of self-defense!! Instructors are knowledgeable and great with kids and adults alike. It’s a great investment in yourself!

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Shawn Rapoport

Owner and Head Instructor, Sensei Shawn Rapoport began his journey in martial arts at age 10. What started as a quest to learn self-defense and build confidence quickly turned into a life-changing career. Today, he brings nearly three decades of teaching experience and leadership to his role at Tiger Schulmann’s Ramsey and Paramus locations. During that time, he competed in Golden Glove boxing, kickboxing, and MMA, but he remains singularly focused on his students. “I love to see my young students grow in confidence, develop great technique, and watch my teens grow into powerful, fearless adults,” he says.
Rapoport’s high-energy adult kickboxing classes help members “see results, get in great shape, lose weight, and develop real techniques.” Recently, he says, “I helped a woman lose over 100 pounds. It saved her life.” But the Tiger Schulmann difference, he says, goes beyond fitness and weight loss. “We teach authentic self-defense and kickboxing techniques that really work on the street.” That builds a sense of security, confidence, and peace-of-mind, Rapoport says, that students won’t find anywhere else.
