Meet Our Head Instructor
Sensei Nicholas Pace
Nick Pace brings nearly two decades of professional mixed martial arts teaching experience to his role as Owner and Head Instructor at Tiger Schulmann’s of Tottenville, Staten Island. Pace began his own training at Tiger Schulmann’s as a 10-year-old obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From his first class, he never wavered on his dream of becoming a Sensei.
Pace went on to become the first Tiger Schulmann’s student to compete in the UFC. He holds the titles for the Ring of Combat Bantamweight Champion and Cage Fury Fighting Bantamweight Champion. He also invented his own submission in his UFC debut known as “The Pace Choke.” Today, Pace shares knowledge garnered over a lifetime of training and competition to instill a non-quitting spirit in students of all ages. He takes pride in teaching kids how to effectively stand up to bullies and gives teenagers an outlet to release stress and mature into a new phase of their life within the disciplines of martial arts. For his adult students, he leads fun kickboxing classes that help them achieve their physical fitness goals, release stress, and find community. “Many of our adult students build lasting friendships by training with us,” he says.
