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.”
