From the reviews

I've been training at the Tiger Schulmann's Wayne location for almost 8 years. This is one of the most challenging physical fitness programs I have every participated in. The curriculum is updated often providing challenges for students at all levels. It doesn’t stop when the workouts are over.

★★★★★ — Al, Jun 2019

I've been attending the classes at the Wayne location of Tiger Schulmann's for over 12 years, with no signs of stopping! I no longer live in the area, but still make the trip 3-4 times a week to train. It's a true family atmosphere, and it starts at the top with Sensei and his team.

★★★★★ — Jaclyn, May 2019

I started training with Sensei and Joshu when I was 6/7 years old and though I took a break during my teenage years, they welcomed me with open arms when I started training again 4 years ago as a young adult! The classes are so fun, but the best part is that you get to learn a life-long skill of self-defense.

★★★★★ — Angie, May 2025

I have been going here since I was 5 years old. This school has taught me discipline, determination, and how to take better care of my body. This school is like my second home to me because I am with people I like to be around.

Your first BJJ class at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Wayne, 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.
