From the reviews

I have been training at TSMA-Ramsey for a little over a year. I started training 3 times a week because I wanted to do something different to lose weight and the local gyms were not the place for me! I have since increased to 4 times a week and love it!

★★★★★ — Theresa, Jan 2021

Joining Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts has been by far one of the best experiences of my life. This past June I was invited to attend and train with Sensei Rapoport and my son during a father/son Father’s Day training and demonstration session.

★★★★★ — Konstantine, Dec 2019

This isn’t a gym alternative because it offers so much more than a gym ever could. When you join, you get a family and the promise of transforming your body (and your mind). You’re guaranteed to thrive if you remain committed to the process, and Tiger Schumanns gives you the tools to do just that.

★★★★★ — S, Jan 2021

I've been very happy with my experience at TS. I really wasn't sure what I was in for when I joined, but Sensei was great about explaining everything in detail. He's been accessible and accommodating of my requests, even during COVID.

New to BJJ? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Ramsey, NJ)

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Ramsey, NJ) 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 (Ramsey, NJ)

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.
