From the reviews
From the first minute this place has a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere compared to the others that I visited for my son's training. My son (and now I) feels like a part of a family everytime he goes to class. As my son advances the lessons are getting more fun for him (going from kickboxing to jujitsu).
My Son Joined just before when he was 4 Years, Joshu(Now Sensei)Mike Trizano was so helpful to get him adjusted to the class. He is now 7 years and still going to the Tiger Schulmann's , we have seen him gradually develop his confidence level and attenion.
What started as a personal journey to improving my own health has now become a family tradition. Both my 9 year old son and my husband are now active students at the TSMMA Paramus school. The training is top notch and the instructors are very professional and dedicated.
This is a "must have" in my kids lives! Our instructors are extremely professional and they are fantastic teachers. This will be a huge part of my kids lives. I could not be happier with how they are growing in confidence, physical strength, and discipline. Thank you TS Team!
New to Karate? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Paramus, NJ)
Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Paramus, NJ) 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 (Paramus, NJ)
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.
