At Staten Island - New Dorp, NY kids find their Tiger under the patient guidance of Sensei John Delaney.

Tiger Schulmann’s New Dorp, Staten Island helps children of all ages build fitness, friendships, and lasting confidence through martial arts.
Under the leadership of Sensei Delaney, kids learn more than punch-kick karate. They develop essential life skills — focus, grit, seld-respect, and self-discipline — through martial arts achievements tailored to their age and ability. It’s a 360-degree approach to fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger. “Our students master techniques,” says Delany, “but in the process, they build confidence and mental toughness that helps them achieve anything they set their mind to.”

Kids Who Find Their Tiger Are Forever Changed

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.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei John Delaney

Sensei Delaney initially joined TSMA because he needed a challenge after graduating college and finishing a very successful ice hockey career. He fell in love with training and knew he was in for life.  Today, he brings over three decades of teaching expertise as Owner and Master Instructor of our New Dorp, Staten Island school.

Delaney views martial arts as an opportunity to build his students’ confidence and make them feel good about themselves. “My students inspire me every time they step on the mat,” says Delaney, “how far they’ve come, how martial arts has taught them to be mentally tough and not to give up.

Sensei Delaney is known for turning out some of Tiger Schulmann’s top fighters, his students have competed in the: UFC, CFFC, ROC, Combat at the Capitale, Asylum Fight League, NAGA, and the NY Golden Gloves. A number of his students have even opened their own Tiger Schulmann locations.

Delaney’s full-body adult kickboxing classes help members achieve that same focus and discipline while “giving students a killer workout.” “My school is like a big family,” he says. “It’s a fun place to hang out and train, and you learn real self-defense techniques simultaneously. So it’s great for peace of mind and a good way to relieve tension.”

Even after 3 decades, Sensei Delaney continues to train and teach, which he loves to do. He is very passionate about helping his students reach their goals. He likes the quote by Vince Lombardi saying, “ Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price that all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.”
