OSU…I am grateful for the Zoom classes. I continue to fine-tune my skills as well as learn new techniques. I get feedback throughout each session as I would have had I been taking a class in person. The high level of excellence of the instructors has never wavered.

Karen G.

The teachers are very friendly. Adjustable to flexible schedule. Very cooperative and understanding!!! On top of all this, kids find this place a great school to get trained, practice good behavior and gain confidence to face real life in the long run.

Ananeah D.

Top-notch martial arts instruction from experienced martial artists. Clean facility with excellent training equipment. Best of all a great workout.

Lindstrom Family

Wonderful atmosphere for learning and training martial arts. Shihan Gravina and his staff develop a real friendship with the students and families as well as providing a very knowledgeable and professional approach to instruction. Terrific school for children to learn martial arts with the life lessons that make up a martial arts attitude. I can definitely say when we do have to miss class for any reason we truly miss being there.

Tiger Schulmanns’s has been a part of our son’s life since he was 4, now almost turning 10 it’s still a big part of his weekly routine. It has taught him discipline, and improved confidence in addition to self-defense skills. The support my son has received from the instructors and staff is immeasurable.

Chris K.

My son loves it, this is his 8th year. He’s now 15. TSMMA is part of his life and considers it his second home. He’s also an avid golfer and the cross-training does him well.

I was getting bullied in first grade so my mom wanted me to learn how to protect myself. I am now 13 and thankfully have never had to use it.
I love this place.

Tiger Schulmann Syosset is so awesome! They’re always professional and have the best teachers that care very much about all their students! During this COVID19 pandemic, they were able to adapt to a remote learning environment quickly and efficiently. My husband and 9-year-old daughter have both excelled at their MMA techniques despite the challenges that this pandemic has caused.
I love this place.

Marie M.

When I signed my boys up for martial arts I never thought I would be joining a family but that is what we got. The instructors are absolutely incredible with the perfect amount of discipline and humor. They are always encouraging my boys to try harder and do better. And with COVID-19 and the stay at home order, there has been no interruption in training. This family has taken care of each other. The Tiger Schulmann Syosset team adapted and overcame by moving training online. I highly recommend joining the Tiger Schulmann family.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Shihan Nicholas Gravina

Nicholas Gravina began his martial arts training as a teen. “I was bullied as a kid because I was small and heavy,” he says. “It was through training at Tiger Schulmann’s that I built up the confidence to stand up for myself. And did I ever.” Today, Shihan Gravina brings over three decades of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Syosset studio.

A coach and mentor to both kids and adults, Gravina is driven to help members “leave class feeling better than when they came in.” “As an instructor,” he explains, “your students really look up to you. That is powerful and something you have to earn and respect. My team and I work hard to lead by example, carrying ourselves with confidence and respect, and embodying the non-quitting spirit we teach every day.”
