I’ve been taking my kids there for the last couple of years, they love it because it teaches them self-defense, responsibility and it’s also fun at the same time.
The instructors definitely know how to approach the kids no matter what their age and or level is.

The school is run by professionals. The instructor has two sides to him, he’s strict but affectionate. He’s gets the most out of the students because they know he cares about them. Great school.

Regardless of your goals. If you want to lose weight, get help with dieting, you want your children to learn self-defense, build self-confidence or learn discipline, this is where you need to go. The head instructor has years of experience and it shows in the quality of instruction. The management is attentive and will always do everything they can to accommodate your goals and needs. I have over 10 years of experience with Tiger Schulmanns and this is the best school I have ever attended, hands down.

Jack F.

Awesome place. Sensei is patient, understanding, and motivating in helping each one of his students reach their goals. All the instructors & staff do a great job making mma fun for toddlers, children, kids & adults! I highly recommend this school not just for mma, but also for the family-friendly environment that makes you want to come back to train every day and accomplish your goals.

Misha P.

This MMA school and its instructors changed my life. If you are looking for a way of life, a workout that isn’t boring and continually improves you in so many ways, and a group of people who care about you and your goals, not just your money, you’re in the right place!

At Manhasset, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Sensei George Heurtelou.

Tiger Schulmann’s Manhasset is dedicated to helping kids of all ages build fitness, friendship, and confidence through karate and martial arts.
Here, children learn more than punch-kick techniques. They build character — discipline, focus, respect, and mental toughness — through martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. These valuable life skills help students take on new challenges with confidence— on and off the mat. It’s a complete, 360°-approach to mind-body fitness we call Finding Your Tiger.
“We’ve seen timid, bullied kids become black-belt lawyers and doctors,” says Sensei Heurtelou, “and young boys with ADHD evolve into top fighters and outstanding mentors. Our goal is to help children become the best version of themselves.”

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 George Heurtelou

Sensei George Heurtelou set off on his martial arts journey at age 10 at Tiger Schulmann’s Nanuet. “From my first class,” he says, “I knew it was my destiny to be a part of this world.” Today he brings nearly two decades of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Manhasset school.
Heurtelou prides his school on its authentic martial arts training. “We’ve trained actual pro and amateur kickboxers,” he says. But his focus is on helping members of all ages “along the journey to find their true selves.” In Manhasset, students Find Their Tiger with “like-minded go-getters who are family-oriented and enthusiastic about their health,” he says. “One student, once timid, is now a black-belt lawyer. Another who was terribly bullied as a kid is now a black-belt medical student. One young woman just lost 100 pounds!” Heurtelou credits his team of certified instructors with his school’s warm, welcoming atmosphere and consistent results. “You’ll get a professional instructor who maps out your fitness, nutrition, and martial arts growth from the day you set foot in the door.”
