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.

★★★★★ — Damien, Jan 2021

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.

★★★★★ — Loriann, Aug 2020

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.

New to BJJ? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY)

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY) comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, 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 coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first BJJ class at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Garden City, NY)

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect 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 positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest 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 on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms 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 (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
