From the reviews
This school is absolutely AMAZING!!!! From the Sensei to the instructors to the students. Everyone is in position to help you achieve whatever goal you set forth and that goal becomes their goal. So positive, so inspirational. It truly is an extended family atmosphere there.
Our son has been with the Tiger Schumann family since he was in second grade and now he is off to college and still continues to train. Sensei Domingo and his staff are wonderful! They encourage their students to try their best while continuing to help them build confidence in themselves.
This place feels like home and everyone is one big family. I used to get therapy because I’ve been through a lot in my life. The day I started here garden city tiger shulmann’s it has completely changed my life and I stopped needing therapy.
If I could give this location 10 stars I would. The instructors Mr. Jonas, Joshu, and Sensai Domingo truly care about each students progress. They have an amazing way of encourging the students while being firm to teach them self defense, focus and discipline.
New to Karate? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY)
Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY) comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY)
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
