“The best part about training with us is that all you need to do is show up. At a gym you need to get there, figure out what to do, motivate yourself, it can be a lot to do especially after a long day of work. Our classes offer the highest level of instruction and professionalism. I make sure all of our members never feel lost during a class.”

As a first-generation Latin American immigrant, Juan was initially bullied when he moved into his new neighborhood. Overweight and with no direction Juan chose to study Martial Arts at Tiger Schulmann’s and it turned his life around. Through his training, he built his confidence, got in amazing shape and is now the Kickboxing Champion in the ECF. Juan takes those tough early experiences with him to every class he teaches, “I make sure every new student feels welcome and that they belong.” says Joshu Vides.

Juan loves competing, but teaching and helping people grow is his passion, “I want my school to be a sanctuary for all ages. Where children can learn to be mentally and physically strong, teenagers can learn to be confident and make long-lasting friendships, and adults can escape from their daily routine while getting in the best shape of their lives!”
