See what students at Tiger Schulmann’s Greenpoint are saying

My son has been a student for few years now and I can honestly say all the instructors and managers go above and beyond to help him achieve his goals in martial arts as well as in life. The confidence and discipline he gains from his training at Tiger Schulmann’s is unbelievable. You watch the kids who train there show so much growth and personal confidence in just a few classes of training. I can’t say enough about the school but this instructors are the real deal without making your child feel like they don’t belong. All the kids have a great time and actually refuse to leave the mat after a hard session of training. OSU keep up the good work you guys !!!!!

My son enrolled right before the shutdown, we were pretty bummed but safety’s first. My son resumed via zoom which was great, the instructor was very punctual and supportive. My son has since returned to the gym and absolutely loves it. Friendly staff, gym is always super clean and they are taking all the necessary steps to ensure the children are safe while there. I recommend to everyone!

Making the decision to join Tiger Schulmann’s Williamsburg was the best choice I could have made. The instructors a great, they show concern both on and off the mat. I have had some of the most memorable experiences training here. I feel more energized and determine after training. Looking forward to learning of self-growth on and off the mat

The level of expert training and conditioning is the best of any training program. Instructors are committed to teaching the right way, but also motivating and challenging. Have been a student for many years and my conditioning at this point in my life is the best it has ever been.

Jose M.

My instructor’s Joshu Roman and Kirsten are amazing. Their classes are amazing, their strength training is amazing. They always look out for you, always helping you no matter how many times you have to go over something over and over they will always be there to help you.

Welcome to Tiger Schulmann’s, Greenpoint in Brooklyn, NY

Tiger Schulmann’s Greenpoint offers a fun, family-friendly environment where members of all ages build fitness, friendships, and lasting confidence through martial arts and kickboxing.
Under the guidance of Instructor Zelenyy, members learn more than punch-kick karate. They develop complete mind-body fitness. Our proven curriculum instills essential life skills — focus, grit, self-respect, and self-discipline — that fuel success at school, at work, at home, and beyond. We call it Finding Your Tiger and members don’t do it alone. “We see transformation every day,” says Instructor Zelenyy, “from shy to outgoing, distracted to focused and goal-oriented. We’re one big family, and our goal is to bring out your best.”

Meet Our Head Instructor

Joshu Roman Zelenyy

Roman Zelenyy was captivated by martial arts at a young age. His grandfather was a professional boxer, his father practiced martial arts, and shortly after taking his first Tiger Schulmann’s classes at age 13, Zelenny knew that he wanted to become an instructor. “I fell in love with Tiger Schulmann’s and the family environment I found here,” he says. “My Sensei passed on more than martial arts knowledge. He taught us valuable life skills that I still rely on every day. Now, I aspire to help the next generation thrive just as my Sensei helped me.”
Today, Zelenyy brings over a decade of teaching expertise to his role as Owner and Head Instructor of Tiger Schulmann’s Greenpoint. As a mentor to young kids, Zelenyy teaches proven self-defense techniques tailored to his students’ age and ability. “We teach skills and moves that really work,” he says, “but we also build our students’ mental strength with the skills and confidence they need to be successful in all aspects of life.”
Zelenyy helps adults reach their health and fitness goals with kickboxing workouts that are fresh and fun. “Lifting weights and running on a treadmill are great for your health but get boring fast,” he says. “Here, our curriculum is designed to keep you engaged and motivated. We hold you accountable to your goals and make it fun to stick with it so you can reach your fitness goals and maintain them for years to come.”
