Kids who study Jiu Jitsu at Tiger Schulmann’s Yorktown Heights 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 Yorktown Heights 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.
Martial arts has been a major part of Joshu Edwin Torres’ life for more than two decades. He first stepped onto the mat at 36, bringing with him a background in wrestling from his high school and college years. Over 24 years of training and 12 years as an instructor, martial arts has evolved from a personal pursuit into a passion for helping others. Joshu takes pride in creating an environment where students can challenge themselves, develop new skills, and build the confidence to handle challenges both inside and outside the dojo.
Joshu’s personal experiences also give him a unique perspective as an instructor. Having dealt with bullying while growing up in the South Bronx, he understands how important confidence, resilience, and the ability to stand up for yourself can be. He uses martial arts as a tool to help students become stronger physically and mentally while developing discipline, focus, perseverance, and self-belief. For Joshu, one of the greatest rewards of martial arts has been the lasting relationships and sense of community it has created—and he is proud to pass those benefits on to the next generation of students.
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.
