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.

The program at TSMA is the best, period. They encourage and help drive you to be the best you can be. From the training classes, nutritional program and attention of the instructors, they cater to the entire student. One of my favorite pieces of the training is the end of class when the instructors speak to the students. They offer a lot of motivational instruction to help develop you from the inside out.

I am very new to this mixed martial arts world and family. I say family because that’s how it feels. This place is something special and I’m proud to be a part of it. Two weeks ago, my son barely made it through the door on our first trial lesson and after last night’s class, he asked if he could come 3 times a week! I highly recommend this extraordinary family and professional values establishment.

Joshu Dominic Billera

Dominic Billera, Owner and Head Instructor at Tiger Schulmann’s Fresh Meadows brings over 13 years of experience in martial arts. He began training as a child, initially to burn off extra energy and later returned to martial arts at age 17 to challenge himself and pursue his goal of becoming a black belt. Dominic has competed in numerous events, including the Challenge of Champions, the North American Grappling Association (NAGA), and 6 amateur kickboxing fights.

What Dominic loves most about teaching is boosting his students’ confidence and helping them overcome life’s hardships. He enjoys working with both kids and adults, watching them grow in skill and confidence, whether it’s assisting kids to improve at home and school or guiding adults in overcoming their challenges. He believes martial arts teaches more than physical techniques—it instills discipline, focus, and the resilience to face life’s challenges.

Dominic is passionate about sharing his journey and the life lessons he’s learned through martial arts. His personal experience has not only improved his physical fitness but also his mental strength, flexibility, and focus. He hopes to inspire others by showing how martial arts can positively influence every aspect of life, from health to personal growth.
