Kids who study Jiu Jitsu at Tiger Schulmann’s Staten Island, New Dorp, 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 Staten Island, New Dorp, 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.
John Delaney started his journey in martial arts at age 23 in search of the tools for self-defense.“Early on, I loved how I felt while I trained,” he says, “and I wanted to pass that feeling on to others.” Today, he brings nearly three decades of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of our New Dorp, Staten Island school.
Delaney views martial arts as an opportunity to build his students’ confidence and make them feel good about themselves. “My students inspire me every time they step on the mat,” says Delaney, “how far they’ve come, how martial arts has taught them to be mentally tough and not to give up. One of our instructors, Rob Varricchio, perfectly exemplifies this no-quit spirit. He wasn’t naturally gifted. But over time he developed a fantastic work ethic. Today, he’s passionate about teaching and has his sights set on the UFC!” provide the tools students use to better themselves.”
Delany’s adult classes help members achieve that same focus and discipline while “giving students a killer workout.” “My school is like a big family,” he says. “It’s a fun place to hang out and train, and you learn real self-defense techniques at the same time. So it’s great for peace of mind, and a good way to relieve tension.”
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.
