From the reviews

Sensei David Castro is more than a martial arts instructor—he is a mentor, a guide, and a true builder of character. My son began training with Sensei David at Tiger Schulmann's when he was just 4 years old, and the transformation over the years was extraordinary.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

★★★★★ — Angelos, Dec 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Laura, Mar 2026

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 kickboxing? 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 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 (East Hanover, NJ)

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.
