I’ve been training for 2 years and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. I’m the healthiest I’ve been in years. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was so depressed. But Tiger’s instructors have been by my side, pushing me to be confident, eat well, and make simple changes. I’ve lost 21 pounds, went from size 13-15 to size 7-8, and after just 4 months of training I have no more diabetes.

Your training is all you promised it would be. Challenging and fun. Learning discipline and self-defense while working out with knowledgeable instructors who care about their students and their goals. They inspire others to do and be their best.

The program at TSMA is the best, period. They encourage and help drive you to be the best you can be. From the training classes, nutritional program and attention of the instructors, they cater to the entire student. One of my favorite pieces of the training is the end of class when the instructors speak to the students. They offer a lot of motivational instruction to help develop you from the inside out.

The best decision EVER!! The training, experience, and conditioning my kids are receiving are going to take them through life’s challenges! They’ve improved immensely from day one and hope to surpass their potential as they continue to train! Sensei is amazing. Not just an instructor, but a mentor who teaches with a passion! I highly recommend this center for those who want their kids – and themselves – to gain discipline and focus in the mind and body, and become part of a wonderful family of staff, students, and their families!!

Great organization, great kids, and great instructors. Our Sensei is an awesome, qualified, well-respected leader. He’s helped my son grow, gain self-esteem and self-discipline. I would recommend this place to anyone with children looking for guidance, direction, and a life skill that will assist them in every aspect of their life.

I am very new to this mixed martial arts world and family. I say family because that’s how it feels. This place is something special and I’m proud to be a part of it. Two weeks ago, my son barely made it through the door on our first trial lesson and after last night’s class, he asked if he could come 3 times a week! I highly recommend this extraordinary family and professional values establishment.

Meet Our Head Instructor

Joshu Michael Rascona

Joshu Michael Rascona stepped onto the mat for one reason: to take control. When his older brother became the target of bullying, their parents enrolled them both at Tiger Schulmann’s. What started as a protective measure quickly became a passion at 4 years old. With over 20 years of training and 8 years of teaching experience, Michael is passionate about helping students of all ages boost their confidence and achieve their goals. Joshu Rascona holds a 2nd Degree Black Belt under Sensei Demitrius and leads Tiger Schulmann’s Yorktown Heights with the same fight-first mindset that got him here.

He’s no stranger to pressure. With experience competing in NAGA, Challenge of Champions, and amateur kickboxing bouts, Rascona knows what it means to push limits—and expects the same from his students. But he’s not just building fighters. He’s helping people transform. “Nothing beats seeing a kid smile after nailing a technique, or an adult hit a weight-loss goal they never thought possible,” he says.

Rascona’s not interested in quick fixes or gimmicks. He’s here to build real confidence—discipline that sticks, mental toughness that holds up under fire. As a Yorktown local and father to a young student himself, he’s all in—on the mat and in the community. At Tiger Schulmann’s Yorktown Heights, you won’t just train. You’ll level up.
