From the reviews
I can’t express enough what an amazing impact TSMMA - Yorktown has had on my daughter. Her confidence has skyrocketed since she started training. She’s learned not only self-defense techniques but also how to carry herself with assurance.
My son and I both attend classes at TSMA Yorktown Heights and we couldn’t be happier. The children’s program is outstanding—sensei is absolutely incredible with kids. He strikes the perfect balance of discipline and encouragement, helping the kids build confidence, self-worth, and respect while still having fun.
My son has been attending Jiu-Jitsu classes here, and I have never seen him more focused and excited to participate. The sensei is truly exceptional with children, creating a positive and motivating environment.
Where do I even begin! TSMA of Yorktown has made a huge impact on my 6 yr old. I am truly amazed of all the new techniques they learn to defend themselves. The instructors are really motivating and firm making sure every child is understanding what they doing.
New to BJJ? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts Yorktown Heights
Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts Yorktown Heights 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 Yorktown Heights
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.
