We pair high-intensity interval training with real self-defense skills to help you burn up to 1,000 calories a class while leaving no muscle un-toned. “We make sure you get results—fast—with a 3-dimensional workout,” says Bethlehem’s Head Sensei, Robert Villafane. “You work out your entire body. You build a skill. And you learn how to defend yourself.”

That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. We call it Finding Your Tiger, and you’ll feel it inside and out through:

Fitness
Weight loss
Peace of mind
Community
Empowerment

And unlike most gyms, you’re not in it alone. Our instructors and members are one big fit family, says Sensei Villafane. “We’re here to help you stay motivated so you see results and also learn to defend yourself.”  


Get in the best shape of your life, and love every minute of it.

Led by Owner and Head Sensei Robert Villafane, a master instructor with over three decades of teaching experience, Tiger Schulmann’s Bethlehem has helped thousands of kids and adults find fitness, confidence, friendship, and fun through the martial arts. 

The premier kickboxing and martial arts academy in the Lehigh Valley, Tiger Schulmann’s offers more than “‘punch/kick’ karate,” explains Villafane. “It’s a character development program,” where kids of all ages learn essential life skills—discipline, hard work, self-defense—that help them become confident leaders in and out of the classroom. 

Sensei Villafane challenges adults with engaging, full-body kickboxing workouts that make training hard more fun than you’ve ever imagined. 

The premier martial arts academy in the Lehigh Valley, Tiger Schulmann’s helps kids of all ages —from preschoolers to teenagers—build their confidence and fitness in a safe, fun environment. “We teach a method of self-defense and discipline that builds a child’s self-esteem,” says Sensei Villafane. Kids who train with us and work their way up through the ranks “excel in school, sports, and the arts.”

That’s the Tiger Schulmann difference. Founded in the traditions karate and jiu-jitsu, our proven curriculum empowers children with essential life skills:

No-quit spirit
Self-Discipline
Focus
The ability to stand up for themselves

Developed and tested over 36 years teaching kids martial arts, our program helps students build confidence through real achievement. And that confidence helps our students take on new challenges without fear. “As a kid in the Bronx, I was constantly bullied,” says Sensei Villafane. “Through training, I learned to change my mindset, stay calm, and remain confident in difficult situations.” Now, he says, “I enjoy seeing my students increase their skills and grow their confidence. In my class, students let out stress and feel happy about themselves and what they’re doing to improve themselves.”
