⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiger Schulmann’s East Hanover – Sensei David Castro I’m incredibly excited for Sensei David Castro and the opening of his brand-new school in East Hanover. After a short break, he’s come back stronger than ever, and it truly shows in the energy and passion he brings to every class.
We’ve had such a fantastic experience at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts! My active 7-year-old son absolutely loves going to his weekly karate lessons. He had never taken a karate class before, and now he doesn’t want to miss a single session.
My son trained from the age of 7 , after being bullied at school I decided to sign him up with Tiger Schulmann .. Sensei Castro has been an excellent teacher in martial arts..Kickboxing and Grappling is a must for self defense .. competition with other Tiger Schulmann schools are the best way to test your skills ..
New to muay thai? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (East Hanover, NJ)
Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (East Hanover, NJ) comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. 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. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (East Hanover, NJ)
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, 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.
