From the reviews

My 6-year old son has been in the martial arts program at Tiger Schulmann in Stamford for about 6 months. We decided to enroll him in the program because when the schools shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we felt that it was important to offer him a safe environment to remain active and to interact with…

★★★★★ — Luciana, Jul 2021

Our family has been part of Tiger Schulmann’s Stamford for 5 years, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff here is absolutely amazing — not only are they highly skilled and professional, but they truly care about each student’s growth, both on and off the mat.

★★★★★ — Ryan, Aug 2025

Love it! All of the instructors are amazing. They’ve encouraged my daughter to always do her best and have helped her slowly but surely come out of her shell. They’re quick to respond to questions and always take the time to explain everything thoroughly, which makes communication so easy and reassuring.

New to muay thai? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Stamford, CT)

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Stamford, CT) 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 (Stamford, CT)

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
