My son and daughter have been attending Tiger Schulmann in Seaford for several years and it has been amazing for both of them. Besides the physical benefits, their self-confidence has increased and they have made lifelong friends. I cannot recommend it enough!

Jamie G.

I highly recommend Tiger Schulmann’s of Seaford. Sensei George, Sempai Natasha & Joshu Zahir have been great working my 7yr old son. They provide a great motivational learning environment and take a personal interest in each student. My son loves attending class.

Richard P.

This place is absolutely amazing and the owner Michael Fischetti is just as amazing as the environment. He is so caring and attentive to the kids and has truly helped my daughter with her focus and concentration. I can’t wait to send my other children and am even considering joining the adult program as well. Keep it up Michael

Kristen D.

Sensei Fischetti is a great Instructor who is courteous and engaging. You can see that he pours the passion he has for Martial Arts into each and every class that he teaches, children and adults alike. A true professional. If you enrolled yourself or your children in the program, you will not be disappointed! You will leave with life lessons, get a great workout, and learn self-defense as well. I can’t wait for my next class!

Danielle G.

In my experience, I’ve never felt more welcomed and humbled by a sensei of mixed martial arts. The professional prowess and competence of Michael Fischetti and his teachings truly exemplify that of a leader and a dignified mentor. You will not regret your decision to train under such exceptional tutelage!

Michael S.

Mike Fischetti and his staff are wonderful. You can tell Mike really cares about the students. His pep talks are really motivating. I am so happy my daughter is attending the Seaford school. I highly recommend the program.

Maria G.

My son has been attending for only a few months now and the growth I have been able to witness is unbelievable. The class is very structured and my son is so excited to go to every class. Sensei Mike is an amazing instructor and always makes class motivating and gives constructive feedback. After experiencing other martial arts programs prior, I can say that nothing else even compares to the program here at Tigers.

Danielle L.

My nephew has been going to Tiger Schulmann’s for the past few years and he has really grown in many ways.
The work his Sensei does with him is always firm and caring. I would recommend Tiger Schulmann’s in Seaford if ever asked.

Janet C. L.

One of the BEST kids martial arts instructors I’ve ever met. I’ve been in martial arts all my life – not only the instruction – but the life lessons are amazing. This was a great choice …. and i would personally recommend them for any parent and any child.

At Merrick, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Sensei Jobin George.

Tiger Schulmann’s Merrick helps thousands of kids, from preschoolers to teens, find fitness, confidence, and community through karate and martial arts.

In our Merrick school, kids learn more than punch-kick karate. They build character — focus, discipline, and mental toughness — through real martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. Our proven, curriculum-based approach, developed by Master Tiger Schulmann over 36 years of instruction, teaches essential life skills that help children thrive in school, at home, and beyond. It’s complete mind-body fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Jobin George

 

Tiger Schulmann’s Merrick Owner and Head Sensei Jobin George began his martial arts journey at age 10. “I was shy, 40 pounds overweight, and I got bullied,” he says. “Learning martial arts at Tiger Schulmann’s got me in shape and taught me how to overcome those tough situations.” George earned his black belt at 12 and today brings over 15 years of teaching experience to his role as Head Instructor. “I have a degree in childhood education and have taught elementary school, so I understand the formal methods to reach kids. That said, every child is different, so we tap into what works for each student.”
