This place is great! My son is learning so much from attending. Sensei Leonelli, and the rest of the staff (Dillon, Alex, and Joe just to name a few) are great with the kids. So patient and caring. They also really take an interest in their adult students, to make sure that everyone who trains with them stays on track to obtain their goals.

I’m glad i made the choice of registering my son at this place. In such a short period of time, I see tremendous improvement in my son’s behavior, and he now have something to look foward too. The trainers are amazing, and you can tell they love and enjoy what they do.

At Smithtown, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Sensei J. Leonelli.

Tiger Schulmann’s Smithtown helps kids, from preschoolers to teens, find fitness, confidence, and community through martial arts.
Under the leadership of Sensei Leonelli, students learn more than punch-kick karate techniques. They build character — self-discipline, focus, and a no-quit spirit — through martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. It’s a complete approach to mind-body fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger.
“We see shy, timid kids grow strong and confident,” says Sensei Leonelli. “And teens, once too timid to speak, evolve into respected competitors and mentors. The inner and outer strength our students develop helps them as leaders on and off the mat.”

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

Sensei J. Leonelli

Sensei James Leonelli began his Tiger Schulmann’s journey at the age of 13 and quickly discovered his passion for mentoring young students. “I saw the impact I was having,” he says, “and it was awesome to do for others what my instructors had done for me.” Now, with nearly two decades of teaching experience, he leads Tiger Schulmann’s Smithtown as Owner and Head Instructor.

Leonelli is dedicated to helping kids Find Their Tiger—building confidence, focus, and discipline through martial arts. “We see children like Lily, small and quiet in stature, become a stronger, more confident version of herself,” he says. His structured yet supportive approach helps children overcome their fears, develop a no-quit attitude, and grow into resilient, independent individuals.

Parents often praise Sensei James for creating a positive and motivating environment where kids not only learn karate but also develop the life skills they need to succeed.
