We could not ask for a better activity for our 6 year old daughter. Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts allows her to engage technique, discipline, self confidence and socialization in a clean and safe atmosphere. Sensei and his staff go out of their way to help each child reach their full potential and work tirelessly to weave respect and camaraderie into their program. We are very happy to have found them!

We love tsma! Since the shutdown, this has really helped my daughter on so many levels. It has kept her confidence level up while getting great exercise! It’s upbeat, professional, and very clean!

My sons have been training there for approximately 10 years. They are growing up to be confident and strong. They’ve had 2 wonderful senseis who not only teach discipline and healthy living, but core values and anti-bullying. Sensei E is always there to help the students, parents and community. I recommend this location to everyone.

My daughter loves being here! Sensei Evenson is wonderful with the kids. He helps reinforce respect for yourself and others. He teaches the kids self discipline and holding themselves accountable. I highly recommend Tiger Schulmann.

Anna M.

My daughter started classes here when she was five years old, having driven past this studio since she was 2 years old. She knew this was the place for her to learn, and she was not wrong! It was given her confidence and skills, and taught her discipline and following directions. A great dojo for learning of all ages.

Sensei has not only managed a Martial Arts community for practice and training but he has incorporated a family-oriented team. All staff are highly trained, educated and professional. Sensei successfully managed to work through this Pandemic through Virtual training and it is great!! We recently have been back at the school to train and the place is spotless. The staff has taken every possible precaution to make this work and feel somewhat normal.

Linda L.

My son has been training at Tiger Schulmann’s for over 6 years. Sensei Evensen and his staff are wonderful instructors who focus on addressing the needs of each individual student while delivering a high quality martial arts program. The program has helped build my son’s confidence and self discipline as it teaches valuable life skills in additional to proper technique and sportsmanship. I highly recommend the program to both children and adults who are looking to improve their fitness and become part of a positive community environment.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei John Evensen

John Evensen began his martial arts journey as a 21-year-old aspiring police officer looking to get in shape and learn much-needed skills. He quickly became passionate about life on the mat, competing in sparring, wood-breaking, and kata. Three decades later, Evensen is now the head instructor at Tiger Schulmann’s Red Bank location. Here, he helps adults of all fitness levels get in incredible shape through authentic kickboxing classes. “Every day, I look forward to making my school the place where members love to come and spend their free time,” he says.
Evensen strives to give his younger students the tools they need to confidently stand up for themselves. “I grew up in Brooklyn and was bullied in school. Now I use those experiences to help my students diffuse conflict and deal with bullies in constructive ways.”
