My son had a great experience while going to this Tiger Schulman Location. I am truly happy with the character my child developed while going to class. The work ethic and dedication of the instructors and staff is also something I loved. I would highly recommend anyone to give this experience a try !!

Karla M.

My daughter joined last year at age 7 with no background and has grown immensely. They have a convenient after-school and Sat schedule and very flexible with changes. Joshu Angelo is dedicated and he inspires and motivates my child. He gratuitously offered free Zoom classes to her elementary school during remote learning which was amazing for him to volunteer his time in that way! This place is more than a school, it’s a family!

My kid attends a different Tiger Schulmann’s school much closer to home but we’ve been here several times as when tournaments come around, I like to get him extra training at different locations. Good competition and a safe environment. My son was treated as if this was his home school. Sensei and staff made my son feel welcomed anytime.

At Middle Village, NY (Queens) kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Head Instructor Ryan Sipavicius.

Tiger Schulmann’s Middle Village helps students of all ages — from preschoolers to teens — build fitness, community, and lasting confidence through mixed martial arts.

Under the care and guidance of Head Instructor  Ryan Sipavicius, students learn more than punch-kick karate. They build character — focus, self-respect, self-discipline, and mental toughness — through real martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. It’s a 360-degree approach to mind-body fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger. “I’m constantly inspired by our student’s growth,” says Instructor Sipavicius “From shy to outgoing. Fearful to confident. No matter where our kids start, we instill a growth mindset that unlocks their full potential.”

Kids Who Find Their Tiger Are Forever Changed

Tiger Schulmann’s curriculum-based karate classes has helped thousands of children build confidence, resiliency, and develop lasting friendships. Our martial arts classes teach children self respect, focus and how to grow into mature, young men and women in a fun and safe environment.

Self-Confidence

As small wins add up, confidence grows. A student’s progression from white belt to black belt and the ranks in between, builds a confidence that goes well beyond class.

Fun, Friends & Fitness

Our kids karate classes help students put devices and distractions aside and replace them with fun and rewarding challenges that stimulate activity, real interaction.

“No-Quit” Spirit

The difference between success and failure isn’t talent but mental toughness. Our classes teach students to push past obstacles and achieve their goals.

Self-Defense

Combining martial arts techniques with proven anti-bullying strategies, gives kids the confidence and ability to stand up for themselves.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Ryan Sipavicius

“My ultimate goal is to teach martial arts to as many people as possible and potentially change their lives for the better. “
Head Instructor Ryan Sipavicius has been practicing Martial Arts for 23 years. “Training the martial arts does so much more for someone than just learning how to defend themselves. It teaches core values of life such as respect, confidence, discipline, and a non-quitting spirit.” says Sipavicius.
For Sipavicius, simply teaching martial arts is its own reward. “Teaching someone something new is always a great feeling.”  He also notes the positive influence that training at Tiger Schulmann’s can have on students. “The confidence students develop translates ‘in and out’ of the training room. They also learn the ‘If you start it, you finish it’ mentality, which they learn to apply to everything in their life.“
“The energy my students bring to the mat day in and day out…it’s very contagious and automatically puts me in a great mood.”  When he is not teaching, Head Instructor Sipavicius trains for and competes in MMA and kickboxing tournaments. Currently undefeated in amateur competition with an eye towards turning pro soon.
