We’ve had such a fantastic experience at Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts! My active 7-year-old son absolutely loves going to his weekly karate lessons. He had never taken a martial arts class before, and now he doesn’t want to miss a single session.

We truly couldn’t recommend this place more!

I brought my son to train with Sensei Castro when he was 5yrs old. I cannot say enough about the quality of instruction and the professionalism and dedication of Sensei Castro to his students.

I tried kickboxing for the first time this month and honestly didn’t know what to expect, but how amazing my experience is! Sensei David Castro has been welcoming and made everything easy to follow, even as a complete beginner. The workout can be intense but fun; a perfect mix of cardio, technique, and stress relief especially after a long day at work. Each session I attend leaves me feeling so energized, accomplished, and way more confident than the previous.

My children have trained at Tiger Schulmann’s under sensei Castro for over a decade. His school has been their second home. He has instilled discipline and respect as well as physical coordination and mental focus in all his students. I’d highly recommend Sensei Castro to anyone

Great vibes and facilities for kids and adults.

My son has formed a great connection with the senseis, and it’s been amazing to see how excited he is to attend every class. They create a positive, encouraging environment where kids feel comfortable, challenged, and motivated to do their best.

Sensei David Castro is more than a martial arts instructor—he is a mentor, a guide, and a true builder of character. My son began training with Sensei David at Tiger Schulmann’s when he was just 4 years old, and the transformation over the years was extraordinary. Under Sensei David’s leadership, my son developed not only strong technique and discipline, but most importantly, a resilient and confident mindset.

Welcome to Tiger Schulmann’s, East Hanover, NJ

“We’re a big family with one thing in common—the desire to better ourselves.” – Sensei David Castro. Led by Head Sensei David Castro, Tiger Schulmann’s East Hanover offers a fun, supportive environment where kids and adults build fitness, confidence, and community through kickboxing and martial arts.

Our curriculum-based approach, developed by Master Tiger Schulmann and proven over three decades, offers more than karate techniques. Members develop valuable life skills — mental toughness, focus, and self-discipline—that build confidence and peace-of-mind far outside the classroom.

The Tiger Schulmann difference? You’re not in it alone. “We offer martial arts and kickboxing classes,” says Castro. “But we provide everyone with personal training. We know what each of our students’ goals are. We know when to push them and when to take a step back. Our goal is to make sure you hit your goals.”

Meet Our Head Instructor

Head Sensei David Castro

Owner and Head Sensei David Castro began his journey in martial arts at age 12. What started as a quest to stop school bullying quickly turned into a meaningful career. “I knew by 17 that I wanted to become an instructor and help kids prevent and overcome the kind of bullying I endured.” Today, Castro brings over two decades of teaching experience and leadership to his role. “We help kids build confidence through achievement,” he explains. “Once they learn how to build confidence, they learn how to apply it in their everyday life. And confident kids don’t get bullied.”

Castro gives adult students the motivation and support they need to reach their fitness, weight loss, martial arts, and kickboxing goals. “Our school is diverse,” he explains. “People come in from all walks of life. But we’re all one big family. And we all have one thing in common—the desire to better ourselves.”
