Certified Instructor Training Program
Why Tiger Schulmann’s Certified Instructor Program Is Right For You
Being a Tiger Schulmann’s instructor is highly rewarding. Every day you serve as a source of motivation and inspiration to students, by doing what you love. Some of the many benefits you will experience include:
- Living Your Passion. Without heart or drive in what you do, you’ll never reach your full potential. By focusing your time on the activities you already enjoy, long-term success is sure to follow.
- Become a Better Martial Artist. Instructing is often the best tool for identifying gaps in understanding. Individuals who spend time teaching what they’ve learned usually go on to show better understanding and skill retention than students who simply spend the same time practicing.
- Being an Instructor is Special. The leader, you take each class to a higher level. Pushing students to their limit. Not everyone has the skill to do that.
- Make a Positive Difference. Through your influence and guidance, you will inspire positive changes in students on and off the mat.
Never The Same Day Twice. Teaching at Tiger Schulmann’s is never boring. Working with varied groups of students and staff brings new challenges, opportunities, and experiences every single day.

Importance of the Belt Ranking System

The rank you have earned is indicated by the color of your belt. The color of the belt you wear with each advancement has special meaning and signifies your experience and progression.
History & Tradition
The Story of Tiger Schulmann's
When our founder, Daniel Schulmann was just a young boy, his oldest brother was brutally bullied. This left Danny with a fearful lack of confidence and a feeling of insecurity. It was at this time his father, David Schulmann made a conscious decision that his children would never be victimized by anyone ever again.
He enrolled Danny in martial arts and it did not take long for his instructor, Shigeru Oyama, to realize he had a real prodigy on his hands. When Oyama realized Danny was born in the year of the Tiger and with the boy’s unmatched speed, strength and fearlessness, Danny would forever be referred to as “Tiger” Schulmann. At the age of twelve, Tiger achieved the high honor of black belt.
He began competing in full contact, bare-knuckle knockdown tournaments. In 1979, at the age of seventeen, his instructor informed him that Tiger would be representing the United States in the 2nd World Open Championships in Tokyo, Japan. He then went on to become the North American Full Contact Champion which he would successfully defend for a staggering six years in a row until his retirement from competition.
That same year, Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts was born.
Joshu Juan Vides
“The best part about training with us is that all you need to do is show up. At a gym you need to get there, figure out what to do, motivate yourself, it can be a lot to do especially after a long day of work. Our classes offer the highest level of instruction and professionalism. I make sure all of our members never feel lost during a class.”
As a first-generation Latin American immigrant, Juan was initially bullied when he moved into his new neighborhood. Overweight and with no direction Juan chose to study Martial Arts at Tiger Schulmann’s and it turned his life around. Through his training, he built his confidence, got in amazing shape and is now the Kickboxing Champion in the ECF. Juan takes those tough early experiences with him to every class he teaches, “I make sure every new student feels welcome and that they belong.” says Joshu Vides.
Juan loves competing, but teaching and helping people grow is his passion, “I want my school to be a sanctuary for all ages. Where children can learn to be mentally and physically strong, teenagers can learn to be confident and make long-lasting friendships, and adults can escape from their daily routine while getting in the best shape of their lives!”
