Tiger Schulmann’s Mixed Martial Arts

Highly recommend this MMA school. My son has been coming here for several years and loves it. Classes are structured yet always full of learning and fun. Instructors are kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Newly renovated and functional use of space for both students and parents. Overall, one of my best investments.

Had a great workout!
I wanted to take advantage of their free class to compare the other kickboxing school I am about to start nxt week for 10 classes from Groupon deal.
I think here they concentrate more on techniques and also will learn to defend self, more martial arts stuff. I think I am basically more interested in a fun cardio boxing class to lose weight and to increase my energy level. Not typically earn myself for level of belts stuff…
Anyways the class was really hard for me, sensei Mike was great, it was a whole body workout… I’m sore I had to get a massage the next day, today is a second day, barely moving around simply I am out of shape

I’ve been coming here for quite a while now and I can honestly say that training here is the best part of my day. Before I started attending class, I did not know how to punch correctly nor did I know how to defend myself, but now that is completely different. I have learned so much and I can’t wait to learn more. All the instructors are truly generous too. During class if you’re punching incorrectly, the instructor will show you how to do it correctly, which is great because you don’t have to worry about doing something wrong. I highly recommend this place, the location is great and it’s such a great school. The price is worth it trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Great location excellent instructors you want to learn the best self defense and get a great work out come to this location you have a former ultimate fighter season 2 vet slash pro Mma and kick boxer and a former golden gloves boxer as your instructor and a former pro kick boxer as your instructor. And they have been teaching for over 10 years and train consistently I think its a no brainer

Love Love Love this place! Every staff member knows your name and they preach nothing but better yourself mentally and physically. They’re a true school who genuinely cares. I made great friends and had a killer workout. It’s worth the price they are asking for because they are a well established school.

I stand by my 5 star rating for this facility. My 6 year old son has been taking classes at this facility since August 2014 and I can’t begin to explain the transformation. I put him in MMA from a recommendation from his kindergarten teacher. She said he lacked discipline, focus and concentration. His first class went well. Since it was new to him, he was quiet, shy and attentive but I could tell he was enjoying himself. After he started to get use to his classmates, he started becoming a little too social and was losing focus but the instructors know what they were doing. They took the time to get to know and understand him and today he is now a model student in his class. I am thankful for everything the instructors have done for my son and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this facility to anyone kid or adult.

I love Tiger in Rego Park. All the trainers are super fit and good looking which is very important to convince people that what they are teaching is leading to that result since they are advertising adult fitness/​weight loss. I am pretty fit but I didn’t have strength. After Tiger I can do push ups more than 20 times which is not bad for a woman in 40s :) and I have a nice toned arm definition which I never had in my life and I love it. I went to vacations and gained some weight but my clothing size never changed and my belly stayed flat. It’s a hard work out so sometimes I felt lazy to go but I knew I always feel so good after class so I went as much as I could. It definitely get rid of the fatigue that you feel after so many hours of work. Teachers are dedicated to teach the students not only martial arts but healthy life style. I always loved a little advice talk end of the class. The school has a perfect amount of dicipline and it was very comfortable for me. I will give them 5 stars if they have early morning class on weekdays! So my review is 4.75 stars!
I hate gyms and I never lasted more than a month. But here I lasted 10 months. Unfortunately due to my relocation it’s going to hard for me to go to this school. I really recommend if you like to be stress free and look good!

I feel the need to comment on here because a lot of these reviews are absurd.
I’ve been coming here for a year along with my 7 year old son. My kid gets an amazing lesson here and his social interactions have definitely improved. He is more confident, and assertive. He has become a real leader.
Now for the adults.
Class starts at 7:30. Not 7:35. Not 7:33. 7:30! Nothing is more distracting to serious students than people who show up late. We get it, life happens. But if it’s a consistent thing, it’s incredibly annoying and breaks focus.
Cleanliness, do you really wanna train next to someone with BO for 60 minutes. You guys are sharing a bag, you think that sweat isn’t going to get on you? Be respectful of your classmates.
Mcdojo, do you know what McDojo is? I won’t bother you with the details, but do some actual research on the organization and you’ll learn how tsmma produces world class fighters. Last year they came in first place at grapplers quest.

Price at first glance seems steep but you can find value in it. Joining Tiger Schulmann grants you access to all locations, not just one.
Join if you want to learn how to defend and protect yourself. Along with getting an incredible core work out for a sweet sexy mid section.
Go in with an open mind, try a free week and decide if the learning environment is for you or not. Have a consultation with one of the instructors after class. Be serious about your interest. Nobody likes their time wasted including yourself.
Im having a great time practicing technique, breaking a sweat and learning something new. Perfect stress outlet to face your inner demons and round house kick them all to hell. Excuse my french.

I wanted to join Tiger Shulmans class cause I was looking for some activity to help me get into more solid shape, so I picked up the phone and gave them a call to get prices, spoke with a representative who didn’t know prices at all. Then I was passed to a manager who was giving me the run around about pricing & asked me to come in. When all I wanted to know was a price structure for an adult. I believe they would have a better reputation if they were upfront about costs & not decide after they look at you to determine how much they can get from you.

My second home! All the instructors and staff are super friendly and very encouraging and really teach technique. Super excited about going to class everytime.
I wanted to comment on the 2 low ratings who got scolded for talking in class — I was in the same class and they just kept talking even after the instructor kept repeatedly said no talking and glared at them. I kept glaring at them myself as it was annoying and distracting. Unlike what they claimed, they were NOT speaking about techniques, they were gossiping/​giggling. I also heard what the instructor said to them afterwards and he was very professional about it (yes, I smirked). Clearly this is a very structured class, for a reason, if you wanted frilly girly gossip class where you can come in late and talk, please stay away.
I’ve been a Unilocaler for a long time. I know when some comments might be blown out of proportion because of their own «preference» or experience (I’ve done it) but since I was there and clearly saw and heard what happened, I felt the need to comment.

I recently redeemed my groupon for Tiger Schulmans and I have a few comments. This was honestly one of the worst experience’s I have had. To start, I went with 2 of my friends and we were pretty much picked on by the teacher of the class. We all have work and one day we were maybe 30 seconds late into the class after rushing from work, getting off the train, changing and going around the room and upstairs to where the class is held. For the next two classes, the teacher proceeded to lecture us on the importance of being on time. I understand that this is not a one on one class, however we are all adults and have work and homes to temper with. Had this been the only instance I would have let it go. But from that moment on, we were picked on. If we spoke for one second for the rest of the class he would come over and tell us to stop talking, even if we were not. I mean, I have to be honest here, this was kind of disgusting. I felt as if I was being treated like a child. What I found to be the worst part of the experience however, was that, because we were considered «grouponers» we were not treated as equal. We were told me we were merely guests of the facility. When we expressed our interest in coming in 4 days a week to take advantage of the «Unlimited classes» deal we had purchased, we were informed that we would be started at a «2 class a week» schedule. We had purchased the «unlimited classes for one month» deal but after 4 classes, we were so put down by the place we could not bring ourselves to go back.
If you want to go kickboxing and have a good time. DO NOT go here.

I’m going to try and write a balanced review of this place. However, this is a low rating, and I’m going to state right now, it’s not a low rating so I can feel «powerful» about giving a bad review. That’s a pretty ridiculous statement– Yes, this comment is for you Johnathan T.
Anyway.
My friends and I went for the free intro class and it went well. We had a good workout, the instructor was knowledgeable and this led us into purchasing the unlimited month of classes on Groupon. The second class went equally well. We were given uniforms and gloves and during the class the instructor was very attentive, helpful, stopped by our bag throughout the whole class to encourage us, give us tips, etc.
The third class, we walked in maybe a minute or two late. Sometimes things happen, we hadn’t been late before, we quickly found spots and jumped right into the warm up. He then made it a point to tell the class the importance of being on time. Fine. I get it. However, for the ENTIRE rest of the class he made it a point to bring it up again, and again. We are not little kids, we are grown adults. Say it once, and be done with it.
During this class my friend was also asking for advice how to do certain moves, and I would tell her. We were not being loud, or obnoxious, or engaging in elaborate conversation that had nothing to do with the class. We were paying attention, I was helping, and the instructor made it a point several times during this class to chastise us like we were in elementary school. He went about it in a passive aggressive way and never pointed us out during the class specifically, but his eyes were always on us when he did.
After this third class, the instructor pulled the three of us aside and proceeded to tell us that we were «disrupting the entire class» and that we were just «guests of the gym.» Last I checked, we had purchased a package just like anyone else. Nor had we been disrupting anyone since we never exchanged many words when we did speak, and it was about the class, and we weren’t being loud!!!
At the fourth class we didn’t really have motivation to really impress the instructor. The point had been made that we were rude, and we were nothing but guests anyway, so why bother? It was as if the instructor now had his mind made up that we were not serious about the class, and probably wouldn’t be coming back after the month was up, so what was the point in even helping us further? During this fourth class we were virtually ignored during the bag session. He came over maybe twice to us. Not sure if it was because the class was so full, or if it was because of what I just mentioned above, but either way, we were very discouraged and left that class feeling pretty indifferent about it.
Also at the fourth class there were some veteran students in the locker room having a discussion about why the class was so full, and the response was, «It’s all these GROUPONERS.» As if we were nothing but an inconvenience and not there to learn just like they were. I got the feeling that unless you were already a student, or someone who was very likely to purchase a plan after the Groupon was done, you were not treated as an equal, and yes, THAT MAKES YOU RUDE. That makes the whole situation rude. ALSO, I found it hilarious because during the class two students were having a very active conversation, sitting face-​to-​face during the cool down period, engaging in hand motions, speaking full volume, talking about God knows what, and the instructor NEVER SAID ONE WORD. Not a thing. But WE were the rude ones, right?
I was excited to try this class. I was excited to continue going after the first two classes, but none of us are finishing out our month of classes because it just left an overall bad taste in our mouths.
This goes for any company offering a Groupon.. . don’t offer this deal and then treat people as if they are not worthy or less than fully paying students. In this situation Tiger Schulmann potentially could have had three new full paying members, but now there are three people who would not go back. It’s unfortunate, really.
**Just a side comment for people who attend class: please, please, PLEASE for the sake of others, take care of your personal hygiene. For the four classes we attended, the room always STUNK. I get it, we’re all working out, sweating, but that’s no excuse to literally STINK up an entire section of the gym and to cause people to recoil from you. Also, it’s kickboxing, so you’re going in with bare feet. I myself could not bear to ever take my socks off, but that’s probably me being completely obsessive about hygiene. But people, take a look at your feet. If you have crusty feet, dirty toe nails, foot fungus, etc, etc, please TAKE CARE OF IT. I can’t even tell you how disgusting it is to be doing push-up’s and having someone’s NASTY, crusty, stank, fungal feet in my face. UGH!!!

First of all some of these reviews are bogus these low ranking reviews have to be people who feel powerful giving a bad review
Coming from a student for over 3 years the instructors ARE NOT RUDE AT all
I have been coming here for over 3 years and there have been gaps because life and reality hit. But they never lost contact with m e always asking how I am
They honestly care !!
Pros
Family environment
GREAT WORK OUT
real results
Instructors that care !
You need help with nutrition no problem
Networking
Cons
It can get crowded (but who cares it’s NYC)

This branch happens to be ran by a bunch of rude losers. They talk down to you, they don’t follow through on getting back to you, and their rules aren’t set in stone as they are in reference to favoritism. Ex. If you are pretty, you may just get that extra class you payed for many years ago and never followed through on until now.
The place has a very immature demeanor and I don’t recommend coming here.
(The majority of reviews for this location are bad. For the reviews opposing, just take a look at their grammar. Then decide whether you’d like to use that review as a reference, aha.)

I love working out at tiger’s. You don’t waist Any time like in the gym. Just full body intense work out with motivating music in the background.

The Instruction is Top of the line, Very warm friendly atmosphere, everyone is very helpful. I walked in not knowing a single thing about martial arts. 6 months later, I am 20lbs lighter, stronger and more energized then I ever felt. The Mix martial art they teach is the Real Deal. Every class I have a Fun working out.
