What is Swing for the Stars

Swing for the Stars is a charity Fight Night event founded by Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts . This event will give Tiger Schulmann’s students with special needs an opportunity to become a “Pro Fighter” for the night and face off against their favorite professional fighter from the Tiger Schulmann’s Fight Team. Each participant will make a thrilling ring entrance to their hand-picked walkout song in front of a packed crowd of cheering fans. Putting their skills and bravery to the test in either a kickboxing or MMA contest, students will see their years of hard work and intense effort come to fruition. The Tiger Schulmann’s organization, including all the teachers, students, and parents, is excited to watch them shine.

The Otto Specht School

The 2023 Swing For The Stars Charity Recipient is The Otto Specht School, which provides educational opportunities for students with learning challenges.

Located in Chestnut Ridge, New York, The Otto Specht School offers a variety of educational programs designed to meet the needs of students with developmental delays, social and sensory sensitivities, and learning challenges. We provide developmentally appropriate academic and artistic curricula in small, individualized class settings. Artistic activities — speech and movement, visual and musical — are integral to our classroom activities, as are practical skills such as cooking, weaving, wood- and metalworking, farming and animal care.

The Match Ups

HOW IS THE TIGER SCHULMANN'S WORKOUT DIFFERENT THAN GOING TO A GYM?

Most people can’t stick with the gym. 95% quit after just one month. It’s boring and there are not enough reasons to keep you consistent. With Tiger Schulmann’s, you get our 3 dimensional workout which includes total body results + learning the life skill of self-defense and on top of that, our classes are intriguing and fun! Results, fun and self-defense make it easy to stay consistent and consistency is the key to success!

AT WHAT AGE DO CHILDREN START CLASSES?

Our Karate Cubs pre-school program begins at 3yr. Our children’s martial arts program begins at 5 yr. old.

WHAT DO I WEAR FOR MY FIRST CLASS?

For your private beginner session class, we recommend sweats and a t-shirt.

HOW LONG ARE CLASSES?

Adult classes are 45 minutes to one hour. Children, Kids and Cubs classes are 45 minutes.

DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?

Yes, we offer a 20% discount for each additional family member. In addition, we offer active law enforcement a 25% discount.

HOW IS TIGER SCHULMANN'S MARTIAL ARTS DIFFERENT ?

Tiger Schulmann’s Martial Arts differs in many ways. From the dedication and expertise of our head instructors who have a minimum of 10 years experience and are the owners of their schools, to the unique and unparalleled curriculum that we teach, to the professional and beautiful facilities we provide. Nothing else is Tiger Schulmanns.

HOW IS TIGER SCHULMANN'S KICKBOXING DIFFERENT FROM CARDIO KICKBOXING AT A GYM?

Tiger Schulmann’s head instructors are highly trained professionals with a minimum of 10 years of experience in the martial arts, teaching authentic and effective Muay Thai Kickboxing techniques that will really work if you ever need them. Many cardio kickboxing instructors have little to no actual martial arts experience and are merely aerobic instructors.

HOW MANY CALORIES CAN I BURN IN AN HOUR?

While we estimate you will burn about 800 – 1000 calories in a class, many of our students have measured over 1200 calories burned in just one class using their own fitness bands.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE I START CLASSES?

You don’t need any previous experience. Just show up in some comfortable workout clothes and our professional staff and instructors will make sure you have a great workout and learn a skill that will change your life!

IS SPARRING OR CONTACT REQUIRED?

No, sparring and contact are not required. We offer separate classes for those who want to participate in sparring.

DO I HAVE TO COMPETE?

No, competition is not required. However, for those students interested, we do offer the opportunity to compete in different types of events, and even have a professional fight team that successfully competes at the highest levels of martial arts competition.

DO YOU OFFER PRIVATE LESSONS?

Yes, most of our schools offer private lessons. You can contact the individual location for more information.
