Kristin is such an incredibly patient and kind teacher. My daughter absolutely loved the class and looked forward to it each week! I believe she learned so much more beyond karate moves. She still raises her hand when she wants to interrupt adults! We definitely plan on returning for more classes in the future!

Kelly R. P.

My son has been a student at Abington TSMMA for 10 years. He has learned so much more than self-defense and martial arts. He has learned confidence, discipline, self-discipline, accountability, and responsibility.

Beth K.

Great teaching, Great quality, Professional, Awesome communication. The passion to teach is the most important key and here at this school, you see that within the teachers. Great Leadership determines the outcome results and I must say this school truly exceeded my expectations. My son loves it here we have no regrets.

Tiger Schulmann Abington has been an all around positive experience for me with a lot of positive people rooting each other on!! The Best!!

Meet Our Head Instructor

Head Instructor Julianno Varricchio

“I tell students all the time, don’t worry about messing up. It is never about being perfect, no one is perfect. The goal is to recognize when you mess up and always strive to be a little better each time. As long as you learn from your mistakes, you are going to get better. Just keep showing up. We are in this together.”

Sensei Varricchio was only eight years old when he started training at Tiger Schulmann’s. Initially encouraged by his mother to join, he knew after his first class that he wanted to become an instructor and have his own school. “Some kids want to be firefighters, some kids want to be police officers, I wanted to be an instructor after one class. I felt like I was the absolute strongest person in the room after that class. It was simple stuff looking back, but I left feeling like I was six feet tall even though I was like the smallest guy in the room.” 

Head Instructor Varricchio loves competing, he’s 11-0 in amateur competition in both kickboxing and MMA, but helping people through martial arts is his passion. “For me to learn martial arts and attain the level of proficiency that I have, I know anyone can do it if they really try.” Having experience as a student at every level from a child to an adult, Head Instructor Varricchio can relate to his students. He understands what their goals are and potentially what is holding them back. “Most of the time, the biggest thing holding someone back, both for kids and adults, is confidence. But, with consistent training, the confidence in yourself will grow both on and off the mat.”
