★★★★★ — Arman, Sep 2025

Joining Tiger Schulmann's Chelsea this Fall was probably the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I was looking to get involved with kickboxing after healing from an assault to feel more empowered in my body and regain physical strength/physique.

★★★★★ — Matt, Oct 2025

My Experience at Tiger Schulmann's has been different from anything else I have ever tried. For my first lesson, I didn't know what to expect and was a little shy at first. But as the class progressed, Sensei Good made me feel comfortable practicing different techniques. I ended up having lots of fun.

★★★★★ — E.A, Dec 2014

Tiger Schulmann’s Chelsea has truly changed my life. From the moment I joined, the instructors made me feel welcome and encouraged. They push you to be your best, not just physically but mentally too. The atmosphere here is positive, motivating, and full of support — it feels like a real community.

New to kickboxing? Start at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Chelsea, NY)

Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Chelsea, NY) 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 class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness 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 kickboxing class at Tiger Schulmann's Martial Arts (Chelsea, NY)

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, 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.
