The Martial Arts Training Program That Gets You The Results You Want!

I have been with Tiger Schulmann’s Stamford for about a year now. Absolutely love the classes. Definitely get a great workout for what I pay. Worth it. Great staff. Always super friendly. Training via zoom due to the pandemic has still been a great experience. Same great workout.

I have trained at multiple Tiger Schulmann locations in NY, NJ, LI, and CT for over 7 years. The passion of the instructors radiates into each student at every class. The teaching style begins very regimented, but as your skill grows, becomes an open dialog that embraces questioning and exploration. The discipline to constantly push limits seeps into your everyday life. I know that I am a better person when I train, and I enjoy training here.

My daughter recently came back to Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts after a break. I was instantly pleased with Joshu Music. His patience and dedication to every single child on the mat are noticeable. He treats the children respectfully no matter their behavior. We highly recommend this school.

Monica A.

I love the kickboxing classes. The instructors are fantastic and the class times are really convenient to take after work. I think the full body workout is great.

Antonia G.

The most fantastic place for your child to develop martial arts skills, improve discipline, make friends and get a great work out. My son is excited to come to every class. He is stronger, fitter, more focused, and even his grades at school have improved. Sensei and Joshu are amazing teachers and mentors.

I only attended two classes yet but I absolutely love it. The instructors are very nice and they’ll help you with anything. So even if you’re a beginner like me, go for it! You’ll love it!!

Angela B.

Our daughter started 5 years ago at age 7. Zoe loved it from the start. As it became more challenging, she wanted to quit but Sensei always gave her the encouragement and focus she needed to stick with it, not to give up, and work hard for a goal. We’ve had her try so many other sports, but nothing compares to what she learned & continues to learn here – not only in her health, strength, confidence & abilities, but in the great TSMA family we all became a part of.

The school is great, I have 2 kids attending and they enjoy it! The school is fun and very much entertaining to them while helping them to attain discipline. They seemingly can’t wait to get to the class and always make sure that I don’t forget the day and time.

Sutton J.

One class in, but I was really impressed. Sensei Demetrius was really friendly and made me feel comfortable as a beginner. Great workout and good people. Positive experience so far.

Drew B.

The expert training you receive here is amazing!! From the adult to the kid’s classes all the way to PreK program the instruction is phenomenal. Sensei Nick, Joshu Music are amazing teachers. Extremely patient with the kids and know how to get to them. With the adults, they know how to push you to a level you thought didn’t exist. With the PreK, they are amazing how they teach the little ones self-control, balance and amazing motor skills.

I’ve been going since I was 7; I’m now 10. I’ve made so many great friends and learned how to defend myself. Sensei is THE BEST!

Zoe P.

My son has been attending for a year. The two instructors are excellent, the class times are convenient and there’s always parking available.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Sensei Nick Demetrius

Sensei Nick Demetrius brings more than two decades of martial arts teaching experience to his role as head instructor at Tiger Schulmann’s. He goes above and beyond to make our Stamford location a supportive space where lifelong friendships can be made. “I’m inspired every day to see my second family – my students,” says Nick. In the Stamford school, he says, “we’re all here for each other.” For members – both adults and kids – that means personalized guidance and motivation to get you where you want to be.
An experienced athlete and fighter, Sensei Demetrius earned Connecticut’s #1 rank in forms and fighting three years in a row and repeatedly placed in the top 5 in the US for his age and weight class. But through it all, his number one goal was to be a Sensei. “When I was young, my instructor, Shihan Pete Tirelli Sr., was my super hero.” Today, he says, “I love teaching kids because I know the martial arts skills they’re learning will make them more confident in all aspects of their lives – like it did for me!”
For adults, Demetrius creates “a mental vacation” from the distraction and stresses of the workday. “For the time members train with me,” he says “nothing else matters.”
