We love Tiger Schumann’s! My daughter was completely against the idea of doing martial arts but agreed to a sample class to try it out. After she tried it, she was hooked! Sensei Billings is a great teacher and is awesome with kids. All of the staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place for both adults and children. The adult classes are amazing as well. Everyone should learn how to defend themselves and others all while getting a great workout!

Allie G.

Joining the Princeton Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Art’s school is one of the best decisions I made years ago for both myself and my son. The Sensei is an excellent teacher, patient and thorough, making sure that all the students regardless of ability level are safe and learning. The environment is very welcoming, the staff at large have developed a family like environment where both kids and adults alike form long lasting relationships. All this in addition to getting an amazing workout!!

Paloma A.

Highly recommend this location. Sensei and his team are amazing. This program has changed my sons life in so many ways. Danielle is so responsive and helpful with questions and concerns. Starting my sons in TS was defiantly one of the best decisions I’ve made. We love our TS family!

Meghan M.

Tiger Schulmann’s Princeton is great. All the staff is wonderful and always encouraging their students to be confident and work hard. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mixed martial arts program.

Ashley L.

We have been part of Tiger Schulmann’s for the past 9 years. It has been an amazing experience. TSMMA is like a huge family that motivates each other and always has a positive environment. It taught our kids self-discipline, self-defense, moral values, and many more essential skills. The teacher, Sensei Billings, is an amazing role model and has a personal connection with each of his students. Definitely a great experience for anyone!

Ashok S.

Sensei Billings is wonderful with kids and young adults especially. His lessons go beyond the physical instruction and includes practical lessons about integrity and what it means to be a good person, how to be disciplined, and the value of working hard; he, himself, is an example of all those things which we admire.

Cindy M.

My husband and 4-year-old daughter are both students. I have watched them both grow mentally and physically. The staff is exceptional and works great with children.

Renea S.

Have known Sensei Billings and Danielle for more than 5 years now, they are very professional, dedicated and hard-working folks. Kids love to go classes and have gained a lot of skills.

Aditya P.

My whole family trains here, and we all love it. We learn skills from martial arts forms like Muay Thai, Japanese karate, Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing, catch wrestling and kickboxing. We also learn strength-building and conditioning techniques, proper nutritional habits, and mental and physical self discipline. I should mention that I am in my late 40s, so if you think you are too old to take up MMA, think again–the instructors and our fellow students have always been supportive and motivational. Definitely the best martial arts school in the area.

Brian M.

I love it here! I get to release stress, gain energy, and the techniques you learn you keep with you. Joshu Tony works with you one on one no matter how many students in the class and makes sure you are doing everything right from warm-ups to techniques to exercise. Doesnt matter if you are a child or an adult. Would recommend to everyone! #iLoveKickBoxing #TSK #MMA

OUR PROVEN KIDS MARTIAL ARTS CURRICULUM

Parents love Tiger Schulmann’s because we empower their children with essential life skills.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Anthony Billings

Anthony Billings began his martial arts training at our Colmar, PA school at age 12 in search of self-confidence, discipline, and self-defense skills. Sensei Michael Marchand took him under his wing, and a year later Billings began working as his apprentice, mentoring young students. From the beginning, he says, “I loved seeing my students grow and the surprise and delight parents show when they see how seriously their child takes training.” Today, he brings nearly two decades of teaching experience to his role as Princeton’s Head Instructor, working alongside his wife and fellow instructor, Danielle Billings.
As a mentor to kids and teens, Billings combines real training with real talk. “We explore the qualities of a good leader and leadership styles. I really enjoy conversations that help my students figure out exactly who and what they want to be in the world.”
For adults, Billings strives to “build a relationship with each member, and really earn their trust.” Our kickboxing classes, he says, are “just full of positive energy. Members train hard, have fun, and kick their own butts. But we also make time to reflect, set goals and self-evaluate. We’re all working towards being the people we want to be.”
