From the reviews

My daughter was extremely crazy before we put her in these classes. After meeting sensei there has been much change in the way she acts. She’s much more disciplined and she has changed for the better. This place is perfect for kids love this place.

★★★★★ — Evelina, Mar 2025

I've been training at Tiger Schulmann White Plains since it opened and it has been an incredible experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each student's progress. My family has been training under Sensei Ramirez for approximately 10 years.

★★★★★ — Cesar, Dec 2025

To start, I want to express how much I enjoy training at this school. It’s always tidy, clean, and well-organized. Everyone is incredibly friendly and respectful. The instructors here truly go the extra mile for each of their students.

★★★★★ — Leonel, Nov 2024

We absolutely love this dojo! Sensei Danny has been an incredible influence on our son- not only helping him improve his focus and concentration, but also guiding him through moments of impulsiveness (like running to us during class) with so much patience and care.

★★★★★ — Fran, May 2025

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

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (White Plains, 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 (White Plains, 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.
