Tiger Schulmann’s in Bayside is amazing- my whole family has been training at this school for almost 15 years. We love the TSK community. Shihan, Sensei, and Joshu, the expert fighters/instructors, are truly dedicated, professional and kind. They are fabulous role models for all of us, especially the kids. The environment is friendly, encouraging, supportive and always clean. The workout is unparalleled and to top it off, you are learning a martial art. Only positive things to say about TSK Bayside.

Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside helped my son transition from a kid who was going to get left back a grade, who was bullied to high school Valedictorian. Jonathan was very shy and had no self-esteem. Now he is a very confident young man and he is aiming high. Thank You Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside Team.

Latchmee S.

My son has so much more confidence and respect as he looks forward to his classes every week and is eager to advance in ranking. The mothers day program was very touching as I was able to share a special moment with my son. The workout definitely kicked my butt..I’m looking forward to burning even more calories!!!

Chadean C.

Tiger Schulman has helped my son feel empowered and made him more confident! He looks forward to going and loves his class.

Magnus W.

Both my sons train at TSMA Bayside and love every moment of it. Always coming home full of energy after a lesson of fun and fitness. In addition to the important self-defense skills they learn, the lessons of respect for yourself and others, and the discipline to apply to other aspects of life are undeniably invaluable and ever-lasting.

Gabriel M.

My son has been attending TSK since he was three years old. My wife and I have since also joined the TSK family. The environment is of a school (as it is referred to) and imparts a sense of family and belonging. The training is top-notch (although I can not prove it and hope to never be able to). Our younger son is looking forward to the opportunity to join the TSK MMA family (he is still a little young for the current training programs).

Meet Our Head Instructor

Julio Arce

Julio Arce was first drawn to karate as a bullied and overweight 12-year-old. It wasn’t long before he experienced a physical and mental transformation under the mentorship of Bayside’s Shihan Gotthoffer. Arce earned his black belt and made it his goal to share the knowledge he’d learned on his journey to help others overcome their own obstacles.
As a professional fighter, Arce is an MMA Ring of Combat Bantamweight and Featherweight Champion, the 2011 Golden Gloves Boxing Champion, and a UFC Featherweight Contender. But in school, he uses his years of teaching experience to “bring out the potential in students that they might not see in themselves.” He helps adults reach peak fitness through kickboxing classes led in a high-energy, feel-good group setting. “At Tiger Schulmann’s Bayside, you will always have someone motivating you and assisting you with your goals,” he says. He also teaches karate classes for kids, where he applies martial arts basics to instill children with lifelong confidence and self-discipline.
