I can’t speak highly enough about TSMA Middle Village. The teachers are so knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. I’ve never done kickboxing before and I was nervous to start because I’m not an athletic person but they’ve made the environment welcoming and let everyone go at their own pace. I always leave in a good mood, looking forward to the next class

Tasha L.

My son had a great experience while going to this Tiger Schulman Location. I am truly happy with the character my child developed while going to class. The work ethic and dedication of the instructors and staff is also something I loved. I would highly recommend anyone to give this experience a try !!

Karla M.

My daughter joined last year at age 7 with no background and has grown immensely. They have a convenient after-school and Sat schedule and very flexible with changes. Joshu Angelo is dedicated and he inspires and motivates my child. He gratuitously offered free Zoom classes to her elementary school during remote learning which was amazing for him to volunteer his time in that way! This place is more than a school, it’s a family!

My kid attends a different Tiger Schulmann’s school much closer to home but we’ve been here several times as when tournaments come around, I like to get him extra training at different locations. Good competition and a safe environment. My son was treated as if this was his home school. Sensei and staff made my son feel welcomed anytime.

Welcome to Tiger Schulmann’s, Middle Village, NY (Queens)

Tiger Schulmann’s Middle Village provides a supportive, family-friendly environment for members of all ages to build fitness, friendships, and confidence through martial arts and kickboxing.

It’s a powerful combination of mental and physical fitness that we call Finding Your Tiger. “We see transformation every day,” says Sipavicius. “From shy to outgoing. Fearful to confident. Unfocused to goal-oriented. No matter where you start, our goal is to unlock the best version of you.”

Meet Our Head Instructor

Ryan Sipavicius

“My ultimate goal is to teach martial arts to as many people as possible and potentially change their lives for the better. “
Head Instructor Ryan Sipavicius has been practicing Martial Arts for 23 years. “Training the martial arts does so much more for someone than just learning how to defend themselves. It teaches core values of life such as respect, confidence, discipline, and a non-quitting spirit.” says Sipavicius.
For Sipavicius, simply teaching martial arts is its own reward. “Teaching someone something new is always a great feeling.”  He also notes the positive influence that training at Tiger Schulmann’s can have on students. “The confidence students develop translates ‘in and out’ of the training room. They also learn the ‘If you start it, you finish it’ mentality, which they learn to apply to everything in their life.“
“The energy my students bring to the mat day in and day out…it’s very contagious and automatically puts me in a great mood.”  When he is not teaching, Head Instructor Sipavicius trains for and competes in MMA and kickboxing tournaments. Currently undefeated in amateur competition with an eye towards turning pro soon.
