Sensei and Joshu are very good with training. Especially Joshu is kind with my son. I will definitely recommend. Just be informed about the minimum class requirement and yearly contract.

I really want my son learn martial arts and he was enrolled here but after few months of joining he had met with an accident he broke his arm and doctors had advised not to indulge in contact sports. The owner here doesn't care about it, they want their money. My son didn't attend the classes but they wanted their monthly payment which isn't cheap either($250). This is ridiculous when you know someone is really hurt there should be exceptions. I like the place sensei Joshu is really good, my son loves this place but even if i want to put him back in I won't because there is a one year contract you must sign, come on guys no one does Contracts anymore.............

My son is 10 and and has taken 4 classes. He is not in to sports at all. His only interest was video games. From the minute he walked in, he loved it!!! I'm so happy we gave it a shot. Its building is confidence a d teaching him how to handle a situation if he gets bullied. Definitely would recommend it.

I regret investing 6 years of my life into their company. I used to love the sport, but this location made me hate it. If you're interested in this school go somewhere else, it's not worth the time or money. *insert rude reply from the owner because he refuses to take responsibility for himself and his staff ;)*

EDIT: you already know what happened. Stop acting innocent. You were rude, insensitive, and condescending when I vented my frustrations about your teaching style. Clearly you do not care about your students. You're only after the money.

My experience at East Brunswick TS is world class. The instructors are amazing just remember you get what you pay for. I would say the only thing holding a students progress back is the student themselves. It's a way better workout than going to a gym plus it's fun..

While this place does get some getting used to, this is overall a great school. The instructors here are really nice, and you get to work with groups at your own pace. The classes are mostly small, and not chaotic, and its stress-free. The instructions are open to any questions you may have. I don't think the location is that good. This is the 2nd time this place has moved, and there are both a limited amount of space in each one. Overall, this is a great karate school. I highly suggest anyone tries it.

My 16 y.o. son and 12 y.o. daughter have been students here for 3 years. Yes it is more expensive than most others. When you buy a Kia, you don't get a Tesla. That's just the way it works. I've found the staff very professional and the Schulmann methodology and system very effective. It's rare for a local business, any business, to create and foster a community. TS East Brunswick, under S. Katz and Joshu have succeeded with this effort. They absolutely care about the students development and growth. When something isn't working, they have been open to constructive criticism. And they know how to run a business also. So far so good and keep up the good work!

In response to the owner's review on Marguerite's review...as a former student, once they have their money they don't really care what you get out of the program or if you enjoy it. People continue to go probably because they'd rather get something for their money rather than you holding it for nothing.

This WAS a great program. Then the corporate greed kicked in... high pressure sales tactics, closing or combining locations to combat poor enrollment, making it more about the business results than the students. We have had our location closed and had to attend a new location at least 3 times and each time, the new location is worse than the previous... further away, worse facility and staff/owner is not as good. I tried giving feedback to the current franchise owner but he wasn't interested. They just want your money and pretend that they care so you renew!

Response to Owner's Comment: My son is still there because you won't give me a refund and the program is NOT cheap. You won't give me a refund for my other child either and you won't take responsibility for the behavior of your staff. I also emailed you feedback when I asked about a refund - you promptly dismissed both. If you don't want negative feedback and don't want to take any responsibility, then perhaps you shouldn't own a business.

Hello Everyone. Our son has been a member at Tiger Schulman East Brunswick for about 4 months now. Our son is 5 years old and on the autism spectrum. I can tell you that the school has been fantastic with him and treats him just like his peers. Yes, the sensei will sit down with you before you join and explain what is ahead. Some people do not want to spend that half hour, but if you think about it the time is well spent. Our son received his first stripe not too long ago and is extremely proud, beaming actually. Shortly thereafter, I explained to sensei that our son would have to attend one class a week for a few weeks due to a prior commitment. He was extremely professional and understanding with us having a special needs child, and although he recommended two days a week completely understood. In terms of cost... Yes it may be a bit more expensive, but for us we feel you get what you pay for and can see the difference from other schools we had tested for our son. Overall our experience has been fantastic, the instructors are awesome and we hope it continues.

I have a special needs child that I wanted to put in Karate. I called Tiger Schulmann's and over the phone, the man I spoke with seemed very nice & understanding and said I would have nothing to worry about, despite me explaining our situation. He invited us in for a trial. This was the worst experience. First, they told me to come a half hour before the class started (I did not know until arriving), I then expressed how (like on the phone) waiting is difficult for my son but they insisted we wait, and sit in a small room and have a lesson on "Tiger Schulmann" and then, finally the class was beginning. The man running the class immediately dismissed my son, and every time he tried joining the group he said "Not you, you go with her" (the helper in the class). I do not recommend this place. I thought I would share my experience so that other parents, like myself, can save themselves & their children from the failure & embarrassment they will feel here.

Overall very disappointed. I have wanted to do kickboxing for a while. So last summer I saw this particular Tiger Shulmann move closer to my house so I thought it was a sign. I knew they didn't display prices or anything on their website so I tried not to think about why. I decided to go in there to sign up for a class. I sat down with one of the managers and she schedules me for an orientation and the free class. I ask how much it is and still no real answer (the answer she gave was "oh it works out to be about $20 a class. And you will sit down with the sensei afterward to pick out the payment plan you like"). At this point I'm like payment plan? How much is it? So I came back the next week to start my kickboxing class, finally. Yay! I get started on some paperwork and that was the beginning of the end. On the paperwork there is a question that asks you how many days a week are you willing to train? The minimum on there as a choice was 2. Well, I knew with 3 kids, a business, and a full time job I would not be able to do that.Well, the manager did not explain this to me when I was there just one week before. So I went up to her and asked. She stated it's the minimum requirement for training. I explained to her that if I was told this from the start I would have said I wasn't able to do 2 days a week because of my schedule and I wouldn't have wasted her time. She then repeated the minimum requirement to me as if I didn't hear her the first time. Well, long story short I just felt like something wasn't right. If you're not going to be truthful up front with people in the beginning as a business owner that to me is not being honest. I started easing my way towards the door by this point when I got a "what's your name?" from the sensei. I kindly told him my name and stated that I probably won't stay. I guess that wasn't what he wanted to hear. Now any decent person with any kind of customer service would have perhaps asked something like "why not?" I would have explained due to my schedule I am unable to commit to 2 days a week, upon which a kind reply would have been "I completely understand. However, since 2 days is needed as a minimum when your schedule does permit we would love to see you come back and visit us". What I got was completely the opposite. No sooner then I said to him that I wasn't staying his attitude flipped. He was COMPLETELY rude. The customer service was HORRIBLE after I said I was unable to do it. He mumbled something like "this is not the place for you". So I ended up walking out. I then read other online reviews about bad management and how sometimes people have gotten stuck in an expensive contract...so maybe I should see this as a blessing in disguise.

After not exercising for many years, I decided to give Tiger Schulman's a try. From the first minute I walked in, I was greeted and treated like I was special. The classes are not only fun and varied, but also structured to offer the maximum achievement. Both Sensi and Jo-shu are fantastic teachers who encourage while they instruct. You work with a group, but at your own pace. Everyone is friendly and supportive.
I highly recommend Tiger Schulmann's of East Brunswick.

I joined TSK after taking one of their introductory mother-daughter classes and I loved it! My main goal was to lose weight, but the self-discipline is as much what I love about kickboxing at Tiger Schulmann's as the exercise itself. I find it to be calming and focusing, almost like a form of meditation. Under both Sensei's and Joshu's guidance, it's a great way of keeping myself connected both mentally and physically. On top of these great results, I am losing weight and getting more toned and fit, getting stronger. I don't think of it as exercise any more--it is more of a stimulating activity that never gets boring and has become a way of life! Speaking as a woman who is over 40 and never would have thought I could get back to my 15 year old karate-loving self, I think the East Brunswick club is warm and welcoming, both fun and serious at the same time. I strongly recommend it--one visit and I think you'll be as hooked as I was.
