My son has been a student for few years now and I can honestly say all the instructors and managers go above and beyond to help him achieve his goals in martial arts as well as in life. The confidence and discipline he gains from his training at Tiger Schulmann’s is unbelievable. You watch the kids who train there show so much growth and personal confidence in just a few classes of training. I can’t say enough about the school but this instructors are the real deal without making your child feel like they don’t belong. All the kids have a great time and actually refuse to leave the mat after a hard session of training. OSU keep up the good work you guys !!!!!

My son enrolled right before the shutdown, we were pretty bummed but safety’s first. My son resumed via zoom which was great, the instructor was very punctual and supportive. My son has since returned to the gym and absolutely loves it. Friendly staff, gym is always super clean and they are taking all the necessary steps to ensure the children are safe while there. I recommend to everyone!

At Greenpoint in Brooklyn, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Joshu Roman Zelenyy.

Tiger Schulmann’s Greenpoint helps children of all ages — from preschoolers to teens—develop fitness, focus, friendship, and lasting confidence through martial arts.
Under the care and guidance of Instructor Zelenyy, students learn more than punch-kick techniques. They build character — grit, focus, self-discipline, and self-respect— through martial arts achievements tailored for their age and ability. It’s a 360-degree approach that we call Finding Your Tiger. “We build mental and physical fitness,” says Zelenyy, “helping students develop confidence and leadership abilities on and off the mat.”

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

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

Joshu Everton Champagnie

Joshu Everton Champagnie understands personally what martial arts can do for a child’s confidence. Having experienced bullying himself, he particularly connects with quiet and shy Kids who may initially be unsure of themselves. Watching those students gradually become more confident is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching for him.

With more than a decade of martial arts experience and seven years as an instructor, Champagnie focuses on helping Kids develop confidence, discipline, and a belief in their own abilities. He knew he wanted to teach after seeing firsthand the impact a great instructor could have, and he now has the opportunity to provide that same guidance to his own students.

“I love brightening people’s days through the workouts and values I was taught,” Champagnie says, “and helping them achieve things they may not have thought they could do.” For him, progress isn’t only about learning new techniques—it’s also seeing a child become more comfortable with challenges and more confident in what they can accomplish.
