Joshu and Carlos are very kind and always take the time to answer all our questions and concerns. Thanks to them my daughter got more confident. Thank you!!

Sandra O.

My son trained nearly 10 years, starting at the age of 5, with the assistance of Sempai Jorge. I began training nearly 6 years ago, having the pleasure of receiving Sempai Jorge’s instruction. No one is more deserving of running their own school. His dedication and professionalism are top notch.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Nissim Levy at Tiger Schulmann's Bay Ridge

Sensei Nissim Levy

Nissim Levy set off on his martial arts journey at 22 and immediately knew he’d found his career path. Today he brings over 25 years of teaching experience to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Bay Ridge in Brooklyn, NY.
“We don’t just teach martial arts,” he says, “we change lives. Shy, timid kids grow bold and confident. Children who struggle with bullying learn to stand up for themselves. My partner here in Bay Ridge, Joshu Arce, came to us as a chunky kid. He worked his butt off and at 18 became a professional fighter. We bring 110% every day to make transformation like that possible.”
