At Chelsea, Manhattan, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Sensei Lyman Good.

Tiger Schulmann’s Chelsea has helped thousands of kids, from preschoolers to teens, build fitness, friendships, and lasting confidence through martial arts.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, students learn streetwise self-defense techniques from a caring leader and seasoned UFC competitor, Sensei Lyman Good. But the focus is more than punch-kick karate. Kids build character — grit, focus, and self-discipline — through martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. It’s a 360-degree approach to mental and physical fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger. “Every day as our students progress through the ranks, we see the confidence in their eyes grow and their personalities show more and more,” says Sensei Good. “To us, every student is family. We’re here to help them tap into the burning potential inside of them.”

Kids Who Find Their Tiger Are Forever Changed

Tiger Schulmann’s curriculum-based karate classes has helped thousands of children build confidence, resiliency, and develop lasting friendships. Our martial arts classes teach children self respect, focus and how to grow into mature, young men and women in a fun and safe environment.

Self-Confidence

As small wins add up, confidence grows. A student’s progression from white belt to black belt and the ranks in between, builds a confidence that goes well beyond class.

Fun, Friends & Fitness

Our kids karate classes help students put devices and distractions aside and replace them with fun and rewarding challenges that stimulate activity, real interaction.

“No-Quit” Spirit

The difference between success and failure isn’t talent but mental toughness. Our classes teach students to push past obstacles and achieve their goals.

Self-Defense

Combining martial arts techniques with proven anti-bullying strategies, gives kids the confidence and ability to stand up for themselves.

OUR PROVEN KIDS MARTIAL ARTS CURRICULUM

Self-Discipline Plus Self-Defense Equals Confidence

Parents love Tiger Schulmann’s because we empower their children with essential life skills.
By showing kids the power of hard work and determination, and giving them the tools to feel safe and secure, we build a foundation for achievement. Over time, those achievements – new martial arts skills and ranks earned through disciplined practice – build real confidence.

It’s a simple equation. But one with the proven power to change lives, both now and in the future.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Lyman Good

Lyman Good entered the world of martial arts to overcome anger and depression. “We lived in East Harlem where drugs, gangs, and violence were pretty common,” says Good. “My mom wanted me off the streets.” As an apprentice to Shihan Schulmann, Good began mentoring other young students and before long, he says, “they began to tell me how training had changed their lives. It gave me a sense of happiness that was new to me — the act of helping someone else.” Today, Good brings over 10 years of teaching experience to his leadership at Tiger Schulmann’s Chelsea where he strives to change lives for the better every day.
A celebrated professional fighter, Good competes in the UFC, is a former Bellator Welterweight Champion, CFFC Welterweight Champion, 2015 NJMMA Hall of Fame, and won 3 – 0 in Chuck Norris’ World Combat League. His 15 years of competitive experience have taught him that “complacency is the killer of progress,” he says. As a result, Good brings “an intensity and high expectations to all [his] classes but also a strong sense of camaraderie. . . I care wholeheartedly about every student that walks in through that door,” he says. “Our members will not only get an amazing workout, learn great technique, and build their minds, but I will make sure they’re safe and looked out for.”
