The teachers are amazing. My son is very shy and bullied in school for his weight. He goes to this school and feels so confident. He’s always excited to go. It’s a great school! I recommend to anyone thinking about going!

My son loved TSK! He was a cub and loved going to class to see Joshu Fran and everyone else every Thursday. They made it fun and exciting every week teaching new skills, focus, among other skills and best of all a non-quitting-spirit. The best part was when he got home on Thursday and taught his grandparents everything he learned that day. We are really going to miss the TSK family. I would highly recommend TSK to all the little ones its fun and educational.

We are from Manhattan New York and we have been going to Tiger Schulmann’s of Englewood for my son’s classes for 4 1/2 years now and our experience has has been great from day one. They are super professional and truly care about the students. Even during the high of the pandemic they were always in contact shared online classes and also held all classes via zoom. Currently, they are still accommodating us via zoom. Jessica M.

My son (6 yo) has been taking classes at TSMA Englewood for just over a year. It has been a wonderful experience – he is learning focus and discipline, skills and confidence. During quarantine, it was an amazing outlet for him to have his classes via zoom, and he is even happier to be back at in-person classes. All of the teachers are wonderfully dedicated and skilled – overall, so happy that he is able to train here!

My three children attend the TS of Englewood and they all LOVE it! It fosters great discipline and grit that carries over to daily life! Also very clean!

My kids (7 &10) love to train here. I believe the classes and the attention they receive from their Shihan and Sensei taught them discipline and perseverance. Results started to show up on their second year, they are more interested in exercising and their attention span has increased which is showing both academically and during TSMMA classes. I do not hesitate to recommend this location, the staff is lovely and makes you feel you are part of their family.

Sensei Klein Joshu Glasser and Joshu Salima are FANTASTIC people and trainers. They give each class 100% and help my children build confidence and stay focused! My children have been training under them for 5 years and I have seen so much confidence and skill develop it is unbelievable! Great school!

Stacy B.

I’ve been training at tsk Englewood for nearly 7 years. I have grown physically and mentally stronger learning from the amazing kid-friendly instructors. It is not just self-defense, Tiger Schulmann’s MMA has made me an overall well-rounded person. They’ve encouraged me to be more confident in myself and to overcome my fears and achieve my goals. Without tsk Englewood I would not be the person I am today. I used to get bullied before tsk, now I stand up to bullies and help people who can’t stand up for themselves.

Logan B.

A great way to learn self-defense, while accomplishing individual fitness goals and achieving overall self-discipline resulting in self-confidence for kids 4 yrs. old and up, teens, and adults of all ages.

This school has been such a great experience for my son. We have made so many new friends and he is constantly pushed to train hard and to never give up!

At Englewood, NJ kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Shihan David Klein.

Under the leadership of Shihan David Klein, Tiger Schulmann’s Englewood has helped thousands of kids, from preschoolers to teenagers, build self-discipline, fitness, focus, and confidence through martial arts.
“Our martial arts classes go way beyond punching and kicking,” says Klein. “We teach character development.” Our proven curriculum, developed over three decades by Master Tiger Schulmann himself, guides kids through a series of martial arts achievements that build real confidence. And that confidence allows them to take on new challenges and opportunities without fear.
“One of my current students came in so shy. He never asked questions. Never raised his hand in school,” Klein recalls. “Now he’s training for his black belt. He stands tall and confident. That’s what Finding Your Tiger is all about. And we’re proud to give our students the tools to fuel that growth.”

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.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Shihan David Klein

As a small 10-year-old, Shihan David Klein was pushed around, name-called and bullied. After seeing the original Karate Kid movie, he told his parents he wanted to learn martial arts to be able to defend himself. He became a black belt at age 15 and competed throughout his teens.
Today he brings over three decades of experience to his students at our Englewood location. His adult kickboxing classes are fun, exciting, informative, and above all, an amazing full-body workout. “Most adults want to get into shape, but they don’t have the motivation,” Shihan Klein says. “I challenge them and show them they can do it. Once we succeed, it’s amazing to see how far every adult can come.” His kids’ karate classes teach the importance of self-defense and build the confidence necessary to do so. “I know what kids go through, and I know how it can affect you as a person,” he says. “I am able to share my experience and to help kids overcome whatever obstacle they are facing.”
